Cartwheels

Hi friends! Again, so sorry I haven’t checked in for much of this week.

Sweetart

I’ve been aware of cake balls/cake pops for awhile now. My friend, Alisah, in Texas told me about cake balls a couple years ago…I had to literally talk myself out of making them. I would say I did pretty well… However, making cake pops {just cake balls on a stick} was on our Summer 2011 [...]

Down By The Sea

Almost a year ago I wrote this post and mentioned how I missed out on some Miss Trish of Capri flops at Target. NOT THIS YEAR! I set out on an early morning Target run for a couple 6-year old boy birthday gifts, odds and ends for end-of-the-year teacher gifts and whatever else {jumped} into [...]
