    No, I read that. Melting chocolate wafers and then piping that seemed much more difficult to me, someone with no cake decorating skills. Either way the results would have been sloppy, at least this way was half the work.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Or Not

My mom just showed up out of the blue and took the cherubs to her house to swim. Which is good because I’m currently knee deep in planning a certain male cherub a birthday party for Friday night and a baptism for Sunday. Yeah, I’m a little behind on things. In my defense, I haven’t...

    I agree, my blog is mine, too, and I think I am going to kick BlogHer to the curb. I mean, you can’t really tell me I can’t do a giveaway if I want…I LIKE getting free stuff that I wanted anyways to review from time to time.
