Happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day! This is a wonderful day to give thanks to all those who serve or have served in the military. A BIG THANK YOU! Both of my Grandfathers served in the military and sacrificed much to keep our country safe. (I can’t even imagine how my grandmothers worried when they […]

Taste Test Tuesday– Chocolate Souffle vs. Chocolate Molten Lava Cake
It’s a great day. Not only is it Taste Test Tuesday, but my Dad is here for a visit! I knew that there needed to be CHOCOLATE for him. And he agreed to be a taste test panelist. (I may have gotten my love for taste tests partially from my Dad…we have been doing taste […]
Easy Mother’s Day Card
Mother’s Day is right around the corner! I can’t believe how fast these days are flying by. But I was inspired to create a Mother’s Day card by something my grandmother always tells me. She is in a nursing home after having a stroke and heart attack. She is such an inspiration to me because […]
Cinco de Mayo free printable
Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo, which for us means homemade Mexican Food! I have been out of town so I haven’t had much time to prepare or plan this year. But that is not going to stop me from still having a delicious menu and bright colors to decorate with! If you are prepping last […]
Dose of Sunshine Monday — Earth Day Free Printable (Do not print)
It’s Earth Day! And to celebrate, I thought I’d make you a free printable! But for Heaven’s sake, don’t print it. Because that would take paper, which is made from trees…and that might completely negate my good will toward Earth on this very special day. So, maybe it’s not a printable. It’s just a little […]
April Fools Day — Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk
Well believe me, I cried* plenty over this one. And because of my anguish, I wanted to share my findings with YOU so you don’t have to experience the same trials.

April Fool’s Party Re-cap
When my husband told me the next Events Planning Meeting for the Arizona Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America was going to be on APRIL FIRST, I just knew we had to play a few jokes. I mean, those members are way too serious, right? So I set about researching and plotting for […]
Dose of Sunshine Monday — Happy April Fool’s Day
It’s the first of April and a beautiful time of year! Oh, how I adore Spring. But it’s also April Fools Day. A day of trickery and jokes. I am not a big fan of playing jokes or having jokes played on me; however, this April Fools Day is a special day. Because it’s a […]
Easter Burlap Bunny Bag
This is the first Easter where I have not put together Easter baskets for my kids….I usually have a basket for at least one of them! But this year they are ALL adults and all out on their own. And I’m not liking it one bit. Nope, I do not particularly enjoy the “empty nest,” […]
Easter Surprise Rolls
These Easter Surprise Rolls are simple to make and delicious! I made these growing up and I think since they are SO easy to make, we actually made them more often than just Easter time! They take only minutes to put together, and are so fun to make with kids (I know, I made them […]
Hi I'm Kari. I'm a creator, a card maker, and a day maker! I am Lucky in love to a supportive husband, blessed to raise 3 kids (all moved away now!), and happy to be watched over by 2 dogs. I originally started this blog to remind me to be happy amid adversity, and I hope it inspires you, too!
