40 Reasons Why We Love You Drink & Snack Cake


I racked my brain trying to figure out what to give my husband for his 40th birthday last week.

So, the thought of being on a cruise ship in the middle of February seemed pretty enticing. It was also Valentine's Day weekend so I combined the two elements and waa-laa...The Love Boat is born! Think plenty of hearts and anchors. Take a look...

EB's 1st Birthday: An Open Letter to My Baby Girl


Dear Baby Bear,

Time sure does fly! Around this time last year, your Dad and I were preparing ourselves for your sweet arrival. I was so nervous worrying about how the delivery would go. I remember the medical staff laughing at me and then joking that I should be a "pro" at delivering babies because this was my fourth time around.
