Happy Boxing Day! It is the day after Christmas which also means the day after Maddox’s birthday and Jesus’ birthday. So we have a cake either way! This year he (Maddox, not Jesus) requested Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden. It runs about $10 per slice at the restaurant, but I just knew it …
This week I have been reading “Masters of Medicine” by Andrew Lam. If you like history or medicine, it is a really good book! If you get squeamish….it might not be a great pick. It covers the discovery of insulin, penicillin, forceps, washing your hands!, the polio vaccine, and tests like the Pap smear. These …
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! This cake is the result of our family’s love of all things lemony. I’ve been using Todd Wilbur’s Top Secret Recipes books for many years and the Top Secret Recipes 2 book is probably my favorite out of all of them. So many great recipes in here that …
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We always have a bunch of birthdays around Christmastime. I try to change up the dessert a little bit and still keep to the chocolate cake requests that happen every 2 weeks at this time of year. Buttercream is made with SO much butter and requires a bit …
Here’s a great addition to your Thanksgiving table this year!! This cake is so tasty and delicious! You have pumpkin, pecans, cinnamon, spices, AND caramel!

Woo hoo!! The studio smells like fresh new babies again! 🙂 This is Baby Bryce – sweetest little guy who loves to lay on his side. I think I smelled like new baby all day – sigh. The official day of summer is almost here! Next Monday – but you can make this yummy dessert …
Books: Kiddo is back in school and that means more reading books around his level. We have been reading “Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin” by Liesl Shurtliff. The kids are just loving it because the main character’s name refers to a “butt”, so anything butt/fart related is of course instantly amusing to kids. So …
Update: Next year’s MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) theme is “A Fierce Flourishing”. After two years of research and one graduate Positive Psychology class, I did a presentation back in March on “Thriving” and thought this would be the perfect time to post that in my blog. I have included the PowerPoint Presentation as well …
Book Update: Here is a list of books I’ve read so far this summer. Contagious: Why Things Catch On by Jonah Berger: Ever wonder why certain youtube videos go viral? Or why some companies make the choices they do? This book explains a lot and explains how things that are contagious belong to one or …
