The Husband and I got “the hiccups” last weekend. Bad. So, we did what any normal couple would do. We drank salt water while standing on our heads and sang the alphabet backwards. And I think they’re gone now. Or, at least, subsiding. I really hate hiccups.
However, since then, I feel as though I’m kind [...]

I haven’t unpacked my camera or my laptop since I came home from Utah last Tuesday. I’ve been wondering, do you think there is a predetermined amount of stress for each individual that will completely alter their life’s path? And I’m not trying to come off as some all important philosopher, but I just can’t [...]

If I can get my shit together here, I will soon be on the road to Utah. Hopefully before the storm hits ’cause the storms we’ve been getting here in southern California have been closing roads and freeways and the thought of getting stuck somewhere by myself, unable to get home or to my destination, [...]

I made these cookies weeks ago, but completely forgot about them until I stumbled across the pictures. Unfortunately, the cookies themselves were quite forgettable. The frosting on the other hand? Amazing.
Basically, they were chocolate cookies that I rolled out (I despise rolling anything), cut into thin strips, baked, and frosted. The cookies were good, just… [...]

I took this picture of the moon on Sunday. It was playing peek-a-boo with the clouds and looked really neato-mosquito, but… did you know it’s really hard to photograph the moon?
People have told me this before, but I didn’t really understand what they were talking about until I tried it.
For one, the moon is really [...]

I think Valentine’s Day is a joke. With that being said, there is no better reason than Valentine’s Day to decorate everything in pink. This may just be the one time of the year I can get away with decorating these cake balls just so. If I did this in, say, July, well people might [...]

The tragedy I’m about to share with you happened many, many moons ago. In, like, December. And it still pains me to talk about.
See, I was on vacation and I was having the most productive day. I was cleaning and baking and the total domestic package.
Then I went crazy. Sometimes these ideas just pop into [...]

I made these cookies because I have a burning desire to please everyone.
Okay, actually I made them because I saw the recipe on the back of a bag of Craisins and thought best of both worlds. I don’t know what’s up with my addiction to fruit lately (specifically in my dessert), but add chocolate to [...]

On Sunday we went to a Super Bowl party (what else?). And, at this party, I realized something. The Husband and I are the last childless couple anywhere. And by “anywhere” I, of course, mean of all the people we know. Or, at least, that’s how it seems.
Luckily our friends have more than enough kids [...]
