You know those commercials with the Polar Bears drinking Coke? The ones that come out right before Christmas? Yeah you do…they’re cute, they’re classically Coca-Cola and they never fail to bring a smile. Well, Coke has become so enamoured with the Polar Bears that have graced their holiday advertising that they’ve teamed up with World [...]
My baby boy really really loves these little Tonka Chuck toy cars and so we just had to put one on his birthday cake. I kept it pretty simple and clean looking. I wasn’t pleased with my fondant this time and I think it might have been because the marshmallows were a little stale. It [...]
Baby N is one and that means my Maternity Leave is Oh-vah. I remember when Little H turned one and I went back to work it was a nightmare to find childcare for her. I was sick to my stomach over it. Leaving her everyday to be raised by someone else just killed me and [...]
You’re one. One whole year old. You love splashing in the tub and going to the swimming pool. When someone says ‘hello’ or ‘you’re such a cutie!‘ you put your head on my shoulder and give them a coy smile. You have lots of fun pushing the buttons on the tv to turn it on [...]

You know, those people in your life who often leave you shaking your head in wonder of how they cross the road without being squashed by a tricycle. Everyone has one or two dumbasses kicking around. I’d utter the cliched ‘you know who you are’ but….they likely don’t. Anyway – Yay for Dumbasses!
Note: This is the ‘mother’ recipe. Come back over the next few days (or put your email address in that box over there —-> to get the recipes via email ) for more ideas on what to do with your pork! Pulled pork in the crock pot is my most favorite time saver. I watch [...]

The tickets are for the Friday, October 14th session (4-10pm). The tickets will allow for complimentary access into the Grand Tasting Hall. [...]
