Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for MetLife. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. What is your family doing for Mother's Day? Our family is starting our celebration early with a four generation ladies tea on Friday. I am quite excited. Then on Sunday we are going to have brunch.

All About Her – My Princess
My daughter and I went on mommy daughter date last week and had a great time. I bought a new dress. She ate orange sherbet for the first time and loved it.

Peppermint Sugar Cookie Kisses Recipe
I know Christmas is over, but we had such a great time this holiday season baking cookies. Family Christmas traditions are important and baking sugar cookies has been ours for quite some time. A sugar cookie kiss is always such a hit with family and friends of all ages. This year, we decided to make a bit extra and share them with our church family. I am a big proponent right now at this stage in our life to make semi-homemade things. So I purchased the sugar cookies ready to bake. It is … [Read more...]
