Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was filled with inspiration. I had a fantastic weekend learning and growing and networking at Bloggy Boot Camp in Phoenix.

Vanilla Blueberry Scones for Nonny
This post is inspired by my grandma, Nonny. She is a fantastic cook and she shared her love for cooking (and baking) with me. She taught me to make orange rolls (from scratch) and sugar cookies. She taught me to love tea time with the girls — complete with dress up clothes and hats and […]

April Fool’s Party Re-cap

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,” […]
