Where Passion & Purpose Collide
Oh yes…there’s more! While I realize I don’t write an actual foodie blog, there is just no denying that I’ve been bitten by the baking bug lately. I just can’t seem to get enough of making sugar pretty and colorful. So I’m dragging you along with me for the ride {good thing photos are calorie free, eh?”} Next sugar cookie… Read More
You’d never know I gave up sugar for New Year’s…for here, my friends, is a whole heck of a lot of sugar-infused goodness. I teased this baby on facebook a while back {you know, way back in 2011} and totally forgot to share the recipe as promised. Forgive me. Sugar coma, what? Here’s the basic cheesecake recipe I follow –… Read More
We’re having a grand ol’ time here in the McMilli-vanilli home. I have no idea where that came from. You’ll have to pardon me, I’m heavily sleep deprived {sick kids, design deadlines, cookies to decorate, you know…the usual} and mildly medicated {it’s that time…and my uterus hates me}. And apparently my TMI filter is broken. {sigh} I wanted to take… Read More
And it would appear that I am not the only one in this house who is excited to don them…
If you know anything about me, you’ll know how easily my inner-child is delighted. It’s rather ridiculous, actually. I don’t think she gets out much, personally. Remember the time God scribbled a heart of clouds in the sky for my wee lass. Woah mama. Well, He did it again…{while this photo does it little justice…this blueberry was heart shaped!} …and… Read More
We celebrated our little loves this weekend. Bean turned 4 a couple of weeks ago, and Bug turns 2 in a couple of weeks. We’re still cheap they’re still young enough to combine birthday parties. It was delightful! And the cake. Oh! the cake. My big sister is a cake-bakin’-makin’-decoratin’ guru. So being the brilliant mama that I am…naturally I… Read More
Meet *Moppit. She’s the 5 day old {teeny weeny} baby bunny that spent her final 30 hours – or most of it – nestled in my less-than-ample cleavage. I enjoyed every minute we were able to care for this sweet little baby. We discovered Moppitt and her two siblings when Marley dug up their nest last Saturday. They were probably… Read More
If you know me at all well, you’ll know I love tea. No, let me rephrase that. I adore tea. Make that: hot, black {British blend}, milky tea. An entire pot of it! I also happen to be quite partial to chai and earl gray. Yes, indeed…tea + me = one happy girl! I’m {only mildly} embarrassed to admit that… Read More
Celebrate the story of Easter through the eyes of a child…
I am ever-so-slightly, just a wee-little-bit, experiencing some mild “baby bug” symptoms. Okay, so I would be lying if I said my uterus didn’t cramp just a tad when I look at these beautiful baby blues. She’s completely and utterly perfectly delicious in every way. {the fact that one of my best friends is freshly preggo isn’t helping one… Read More
The lovely {brilliant, creative, beautiful} momma behind Second Nature Baby Wraps {who just happens to be one of my all time favorite people} knocked my socks off when she custom created a wrap for me to “wear” my son after he was born. {It’s an absolute life-saver when you have a toddler to chase} While still in utero, my sweet… Read More
Is baby feet in teeny, tiny little crocheted Mary Janes! Just look at these fabulous fuzzy things… I’m completely and utterly in love. Okay, honey, I think I’m ready to have another baby. But, then again…if it’s a boy, the poor thing’s in for a tough time. So maybe not. I’ll just get some to stuff with potpourri and… Read More
