I’m so not into Valentine’s Day this year. I’ve never really been a fan of the holiday anyway, but after getting divorced it feels like a big fat slap in the face. It makes me feel kind of pathetic and lonely truth be told. To make matters worse I have to work all day. In [...]
I’m a bit obsessed with cupcakes lately! There’s just something about a cupcake that seems to make everything all better – a long day at school, a tough day at work, kid drama… For a few small moments, the world slows down and everything seems good and right. The real secret to an incredible cupcake [...]

Well I’ve finished moving. Almost anyway… My apartment is cluttered with half-empty boxes, the fridge and pantry are mostly empty and I have to take baths because I haven’t even hung up a shower curtain yet. So while I’m buried under my mountain of crap I should have considered donating to Goodwill quite some time [...]
Have you ever stayed at a DoubleTree Hotel? They have these cookies that are like the cookie equivalent of crack. I kid you not. See… Since I’m totally the kind of girl who would pick a hotel based on the cookies they serve, it’s a real bummer I can’t afford to stay at the DoubleTree [...]
So the first two days at my new job left me wanting to bang my head on the desk. The “training” was so painful I would have rather they just put me to work scrubbing dishes or hell even cleaning toilets! Exibit A: A plate of eggs gets one slice of orange to garnish, but [...]
I have good news and I have bad news. Which one do you want first? Ok, well since you can’t answer, I’ll start with the good news. I got the job I interviewed for the other day! Yeah! The bad news is that is just isn’t my dream job. Not even close to my dream [...]
I think I might need to get a life. I spent an hour today playing Cash Cow on Webkinz. I’d like to say that it was to help my daughter beat a level or earn some KinzCash, but no… I’m just a dork. I also managed to kill like three hours playing with coding to [...]
With three kids there are weeks that simply fly by! While I love to surprise my kids with a special dessert sometimes, there are nights when there just isn’t a lot of time to be super creative. This chocolate dip is a perfect weeknight treat, but it’s also luxurious enough to entertain with. And it’s [...]
I used to totally hate the color pink! Like, I would cry and beg and plead my mother not to make me wear it, kind of hate. Well, that and dresses. And tights… That was how I was totally convinced my first daughter was going to be a girl – I suddenly wanted pink everything! [...]
I was very tempted to make an anti-Valentine’s Day playlist starting off with I Don’t Need a Man by the Pussycat Dolls and closely followed by What the Hell by Avril Lavigne. But that just reeked of bitterness! I got it all out of my system yesterday and am back to my usual sappy romantic [...]

I’ve really missed blogging. I’ve missed having a place to whine and reflect. I’ve missed the creative outlet. I’ve missed playing around with my camera and trying to master taking photographs of ice cream before it melts. Most of all I have missed my fellow bloggers. I am truly amazed and humbled by how kind [...]
