Chocolate caramel pizza is by far the most decadent dessert item my kids and I have cooked. Oh my gosh was it yummy. Next week I promise it will be a healthy food item. How to make chocolate caramel pizza was one of the recipes near the very end of a cookbook I was sent for review. The Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook, by Lindsay Landis, is a real treasure. When I first got it, published by Random House Canada, I thought what can possibly be made with raw cookie dough? Well, there are about 155 pages full…

Well, here it is Thursday again and I wanted to share the yummiest recipe ever with you guys. This week we found inspiration on Pinterest and we made Peanut Butter Banana Bread with Reese’s minis in it. Oh my gosh, so delicious! This is ours. And this is the pinterest source for the details.  http://www.cookiesandcups.com/ We followed her easy recipe and also used two small packs of Reese’s minis. Oh crazy delicious! Everyone loved it. No peanut allergies in our home, thankfully. Source: cookiesandcups.com via Paula on Pinterest

I like to Move it. Move it. It is a kick being a #KinderMom for the second year in a row handing out chocolate love everywhere.

From what I can see, it’s like a licence to print money. Especially that last one. When our poor sweet cat Magnum was dying, every time I walked through the door of the emergency vet clinic in town it cost me $75 to say hello. It never cost less than $700 to help our cat. I know…

In honor of my three year anniversary blogging and my guesting/ hosting night (Wednesday on #LinkedMoms) with my good friend Margarita @downshiftingpos, I thought it time to reflect. Tomorrow I will be chatting about the art of blog writing. I came to this adventure three years ago, as a stay at home Mom, hoping to bridge stay at home and work at home again. I was, in my previous life an award-winning newspaper reporter. I led teams to big awards on big topics, mostly hard news. I wrote about train wrecks, murders, massage parlors that were fronts for other things,…
