  • Holiday Break Baking Project: Cake Pops!!!!!

    My adorable niece! Hey Ya'll, I hope you're having a fantastic Christmas break. Did any of you receive a really great (or awful!) gift this year? My mom got one of those "As Seen On TV" cake pop kits, and so far this week, we've made about 75 cake pops! Here are a few photos of all the fun: Full disclosure, these bite-sized treats are not as easy to make as I thought and they're more costly, too! Regardless, they're delicious and an excellent way to keep yourself from eating an entire slice of cake! I hope some of you will post photos of your holiday baking projects in the comment section ...

Here are a few photos of my nephews and I decorating cookies and a gingerbread house for Christmas this year: To throw this type of party, you'll need to bake a few batches of plain sugar cookies in various holiday shapes ahead of time (this means they'll be cool enough to ice and guests can start in right away!).

  • My ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ Review — Don’t Worry, No Spoilers!

    Hey Ya'll, In the same way that most teenage girls were dying to see the latest installment of theTwilight saga or all those kids who love them some Harry Potter, I have had the same bout of anticipation for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, or at least the remake! I actually saw the original film in New Zealand while on vacation, which was way before I'd ever heard of the books or the author. The movie had subtitles, which I'm not usually interested in because I sometimes fall asleep… I just get so relaxed in the dark theater that when you add reading into the mix, it puts me to sleep. ...

  • How to Throw a Legit White Elephant Party

    Hey Ya'll, According to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, "a white elephant is an object no longer of value to its owner but of value to others. Or something of little or no value." To throw this type of party, I recommend including both the rules and gift budget in your invitations to eliminate any confusion or crazy fighting happening at your holiday party.

  • My Guide to Mixing it Up with Holiday Decor

    Hey Ya'll, Every year I get to work with one of my favorite clients to decorate their house for the holidays. Although if I'm being honest, this is one of those jobs that doesn't seem like a job at all… It's more like a fabulous tree trimming party.
