I do a lot of baking and cooking as you know. I've posted a new recipe everyday this week alone. So it's very important to me to use quality ingredients. Lately all the eggs I've been using in my recipes are from Land O’Lakes. These eggs have been great and have helped make my recipes taste as great as they need too! Land O Lakes® actually has four different eggs: Farm-Fresh All-Natural … [Read more...]

Family Dollar. Where do I begin. I'm not a fan of posting unfavorable reviews. Really I'm not.

Hopefully this will help the company clean up the ones in my area as from searching online it seems other areas have some great stores. This store in the photo isn't the first one … [Read more...]

Our Family Traditions This Holiday – Join in the Conversation with #InDelight for a Chance to win a $200 TargetGift Card!
By 1 Comment
I didn't grow up with traditions. Well, unless you count putting up a tree every year. I think it also results in the fact that I don't really remember any specific Christmas from my childhood. I don't want that for my boys. I want them to reflect back on their childhood and remember all the years we spent together as a family and remember the little things that made each year and moment stand … [Read more...]

Christmas is so healing for me. There is something about this time of year that makes me like a 4 year old child all over again.
