Today we celebrated my baby girl’s 13th birthday. Where has the time gone? This is my baby, the youngest of my four children! I can’t believe how quickly that 10 lb 6 oz pound baby girl has grown into this beautiful young teenage girl! And to top it off, she is just as beautiful on …
A number of years ago, a best selling book was written by Dale Carnegie called, “How to Win Friends and Influence People”.

I have been making chocolate chip cookies for a lot of years, however I had never made a “Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie” before. I recently bought a cast iron skillet so when I saw this recipe, I knew it was a perfect opportunity to try it out. The verdict? It was super yummy! Nothing tastes …

My dad had a tremendous sweet tooth …
This is my baby! Penny joined our family about 18 months ago as a little puppy.

Need a special occasion cake? This is it! I absolutely LOVE this cake. It is super moist and the filling is SO delicious! I just made this to have with our Christmas dinner, but it has also been a part of many birthday celebrations in the family. My sister discovered this recipe many years ago …
I admit it. I am totally ridiculous about Christmas. I do too much decorating, too many activities, and definitely too much baking/candy making. Just how many kinds of goodies does one family need?
