If you’ve never tried them, I dare you to give it a [...]

The arrival of May marks my favorite time to spend around the house… and by “around the house,” I actually mean outside of the house. It’s the time of year [...]

I’ll admit that I don’t put Valentine’s day on any sort of special holiday platform. Mr. M and I exchange gifts and “celebrate” the holiday, but we don’t put any added pressure on the day. Lots of people I know like to bash it with the label of “Hallmark” holiday and refuse to acknowledge it [...]

Thanks to everyone who entered… and the amazing list of yumminess that you produced in the comments!

My favorite cookie of all time?  Grandma’s Monster cookies! Mmmm… I can [...]
