Weeping Willow Tree and Me
These beautiful trees are found through North America, Europe and Asia. My sponsor child wrote a handwritten letter asking for some pictures. So I printed out a few and put them inside her Thanksgiving card. I’m actually holding Carolina’s 2015 World Vision progress report photo in my hand as a sweet surprise. Quick Tip: When […]

Your attitude should be sweeter than an ice cream cone. Today’s Affirmation: I will treat everyone with dignity and respect.
Chocolate Goatee
Would you like something to eat that’s simple and sweet? How about Rice Krispies Treats or Cupcakes? My nephew looked so funny when he was eating a chocolate cupcake. Baby Omari put his face first and ate more frosting than anything. Doing so gave him a chocolate goatee. He then handed the cupcake back to […]
Apple Crisp with and without Pecans
Here’s two slightly different versions I’ve made of this warm dessert that makes the house smell delicious. Check out the cinnamon apples sweetness on the inside. Wanna know the shortcut I use when making this? Use a can of apple pie filling then cut up fresh apples to fill up the rest of the dish. […]
Chocolate & Pecan Chips
Here’s a quick and easy method that I use to make yummy cupcakes. Just sprinkle mini chocolate chips and pecan chips on top of freshly frosted chocolate cupcakes. The flavor is really rich. To some people it may even taste too sweet but it’s a cupcake for Pete’s sake, so what’d ya expect?
Turkish Delight
A sweet gel candy from Turkey with pistachio nuts and often coated in powdered sugar but there’s a number of other varieties, as well. You can insert toothpicks inside the precut cubes to serve them. Here’s what it looks like cut in half.
Sweet Simple Gestures
Today is a good day to show someone you care with a kind gesture of some sort. Daddy pops got me a box of chocolates. Turtles are my favs but since sharing is caring… I’ll be munching on these later with my loved ones. Happy Valentine’s Day darling!
Hey, 10 Year-Old!
I glued six googly eyes on the card I sent Carolina for her 10th birthday, this past summer. Single digit years (ages 1-9) go by so fast and for most of our lives, if not the rest of our lives we’re in the double digits. Let’s be realistic, not everyone makes it to the triple […]
Who doesn’t like candy?
To ensure that everyone gets a piece of all three varieties (mint, caramel, strawberry) they’ll go into pretty bags for each baby shower attendee. Working with such short ribbon was a task but I managed to make a fairly nice bow. The leftover candy can go into a dish of some sort. If you don’t […]
Baby Mustache Cupcake
Frosting is very easy. Just cover the top of cupcake, add eyes, and stick in a pacifier. It’s already cute like that but I decided to add a mustache. If your decorating cupcakes for a baby girl shower you can make the mustache pink or don’t include a mustache at all. Perhaps, add a pink […]
Sweet, Salty and Scrumptious
My Grandma Becky and Grandma Pat both have a holiday tradition of making and sharing candy with family. My personal fav is the turtle pretzel (shown below) which is a pretzel stick wrapped in caramel then dipped in chocolate. What’s one of your favorite family traditions?
Chocolatey Chocolate Cupcakes
This was my first time ever making them, so here we go… After putting cupcakes in the oven, I cut up some fun size bars of Hershey’s candy. Then used a grater to shave the chocolate bars that I didn’t cut. I placed them into a paper baking cup. Then put inside the refrigerator to […]
Cuteness Alert
I like when my sponsor child Carolina writes to me. She celebrated her ninth birthday on July 27th. Her favorite color used to be red but now it’s purple. She is academically excelling in primary school. Carolina is such a nice girl who mentioned that she can now speak two languages.
Funnel Cakes Rock
It’s basically deep fried batter with powdered sugar sprinkled on top. This is from Indiana Beach amusement park that I visited with my family. We went back to our hotel room to eat and someone took a bite while I was digging in the suitcase to grab my camera. Can you see that? […]
Sweet Strawberry Shortcakes
Don’t you wish that all people were as sweet as Strawberry Shortcake? Either the dessert or cartoon would do. Strawberry Shortcake on the left is what I grew up with in the 80s. The one on the right is a modern day version but they can still be friends right? Someone else mentioned that […]
Happy Birthday Monica
Today is my sister’s 30th birthday. I love to bake; especially sweets. She looks so adorable holding the cake I made for her. If pretty girls could hold cakes for advertisements she could be a cake model!
A dose of my life.
