Since my junior year in college–after the ill-fated first year of college and the dread freshman 15 + the bonus sophmore 15–and the need to work it off, I’ve been kind of a fitness nut. Some even like to use the term gym rat, although as a person who has had actual real life encounters [...]

My nephew Connor loves Jeeps. Really, he loves all kind of trucks (he’s an equal opportunity type of kid) but Jeeps have a special place in his heart. So when my sister-in-law Misty asked me to make Connor’s birthday cake, I knew I had to go for the Jeep! I found the perfect Jeep cartoon [...]

About a month ago, one of our oldest friends, Bill, called me up. As he usually is, Bill was direct. “How do I go about getting you to make a cake for Amelia’s [his youngest daughter's] birthday?” Me–”well usually we start with what she wants, and we go from there.” Bill–”okay, I’ll work on finding [...]

Something to add to the list of things you may not have known about Beth–I used to be quite the little athlete.

Another week, another birthday! I told you all it’s a happy time of the year. Because you all know how much I love celebrating with fun people. Really, if I could make it a full time gig (well maybe with a bit of time to cook) I would! But the difference between this one and [...]

I love the spring. First there’s my birthday, then there’s Kori’s. Yay! More parties on the shore! I love my little sister so much (more than she even knows!), and I’m always so happy to spend a weekend with her. I’ll admit, this wasn’t always the case. Back when my sister my born in fact, [...]
