This post brought to you by Unilever brands. Although sponsored, all opinions are my own.I make a pretty mean banana bread. It’s to the point where my family won’t touch a single ripe banana in our house because they know if they just wait a few more days, I’ll have...
Sponsored post by Lunchbox. All opinions and recipe are my own.One thing I remember most about summers growing up in Ohio, was how much ice cream was a part of it. Whether it was ice cream from the family-run neighborhood drive up, the franchise on the hill, or a bomb...
The marketing professional in me is so intrigued by nearly simultaneous dual release of video game and movie, Ratchet & Clank. If you’re a PS2 gamer, you’re probably pretty excited about this new version of the wildly popular eponymous game. Originally issued 14...
I ran across several recipes for what people call "Christmas Crack" and I was intrigued. Crackers? Toffee? Hmmm. Seemed to good to be true. For this toffee addict, I wasn't sure it would pass muster. There are like a dozen different ways to make it and I have no idea...

The Princess Cupcake should be a party planner. Months before her big 4th birthday, she pronounced that her royal celebration (as it became known), would be held at our neighborhood park and everyone would dress as princesses. Even the mommies. “What about the boys?...
You know you want one. A cute little rainbow burrow sugar cookie. But wait, there’s more -- It’s a piñata cookie! Surprise! Inside there’s a little mouthful of M&M’s. I first saw these pinata cookies on Pinterest (pinned from SheKnows.com) and my heart...
GOAL!3 goals in the last game of the season. Finally, the Princess Cupcake has figured out this whole soccer thing. She’s in the mix, she’s defending the goal, she’s kicking it in. She’s doing a heck of a lot better at 4 years old than I would at well, we won’t...
Wacky Wednesday at school is wackily harder than you might think to come up with for treats for the kids. I mean, really. Wacky food? I’m all tapped out. So when I saw these Rainbow lollipop cookies, I knew they were perfect. All the fun of a lollipop with none of the...
