11Apr24_Easter_150

I was talking about a favorite Spring-time dessert last week during my Easter Entertaining Live Chat in the CoffeeTalk Community on the BlogFrog, and promised that I would share the recipe here after the holiday. After eating a bowl of Wonderful for a before-lunch snack this morning, I remembered my promise. You will thank me [...]

Spring Clean Your House

Spring Cleaning

The cold weather may not be completely gone for the season, but there has been enough Spring-like sunshine, warm rain, and blossoming trees and flowers to serve as a sign that Spring is officially here.

This morning, I’m heading to a double dentist appointment for kids #2 and #3. Twizzler has his first two cavities that need to be filled. I admit I didn’t [...]
