I'm a homeschooling mom of two. Bakerlady to many. Figuring out this crazy symphony called life and sharing the journey with you.
Buddy the Elf Party
They are to be greatly pitied. For theirs is the greatest burden to bear. Those with December birthdays.The receivers of the dreaded "joint birthday and Christmas gift". Tolerating decidedly non-birthday decor festooning the parlor and decking the halls. Always assuming their guests are going to be mostly partied out from work holiday obligations, family gift… Continue reading Buddy the Elf Party
Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
Perfect for any event. Especially festive ones. Themes make everything better.I like to microwave the marshmallow creme for about 10 seconds. Makes it easier to stir. BUUUUUUUTTTT -- they now have warning labels on the jar that you aren't supposed to do such things. Maybe someone blew up their microwave because they didn't get all… Continue reading Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
We’re All Mad Here
The notes for which they are noted are not noted for being musical notes. At least, that's my favorite answer to the proverbial unanswered question posed by the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. What better way to begin a fanciful unbirthday tea party than to let your mind explore, unburdened by logic, the possibilities… Continue reading We’re All Mad Here

Quarantine Cooking: Sweet Potato Fries with Comeback Sauce

When you could go out, have someone else cook for you, serve you and clean up afterwards? Because I can mostly create anything I want at home, eating out was always more about the experience and the… Continue reading Quarantine Cooking: Sweet Potato Fries with Comeback Sauce
Quarantine Cooking: “Julia Child” Quiche
Over the past 6 years, my life has become a whirlwind of homeschooling. All other personal pursuits (ahem, blogging) have been swallowed up. Probably not the best self care on my part to have allowed such a thing to happen, but c'est la vie! My kids are 11 and 13 now and through this whole… Continue reading Quarantine Cooking: “Julia Child” Quiche
Dilly Cucumber Bites
You know those times when you make a grand entrance at a holiday party with the nagging thought skittering around the back of your mind "I cannot eat more junk. If I consume one more chocolate treat I'm going to explode."? Nah. Me neither. However, I understand these kinds of people exist. For all your… Continue reading Dilly Cucumber Bites
