I love Easter. I mean, in some ways I love it even more than Christmas. Whoa. Crazy right?

Are you kids crazy about making crafts? My daughter always was and the holidays were a time when she was pretty much desperate to craft all the time. (I wonder who she got that from?) Of course, I was always testing ideas for my art lessons at school too so it was a win-win situation […]
Welcome to the happiest time of year – appetizer season! Okay, okay, I’m joking – kind of. But I do love holiday entertaining time because appetizers just make me happy. I’ll choose savory over sweet 99% of the time and often make whole meals of just appetizers. So, all the tasty little tidbits served over […]
