Baby Come Back Age Defying Creme by Painted Earth
I’m going to sound like a broken record here but, growing older is NOT for sissies!! I don’t like these bags, sags, spots, dots and wrinkles!! I do NOT like them here or there, I do not like them anywhere! I do not like them at ALL!!! I saved my review of Baby Come Back Age Defying Creme as my final review from Painted Earth because you always save the best for last right?? This little jar packs a powerful punch!! Just like all of Painted Earth’s wonderful products, this one is all natural and organic. Baby Come Back uses a deep penetrating fruit based Alpha Hydroxy. This one battles…

CONTAGIOUS OPTIMISM by David Mezzapelle
I don’t do a lot of book reviews because, honestly, I don’t have a lot of time to sit still and read. But, when I saw the title for this book Contagious Optimism I knew this was a book I HAD TO HAVE!! I use to be the most optimistic person!! I use to be ridiculously upbeat and happy all of the time! Then my switch got turned off one day and I’ve been searching for my way back ever since!! Contagious Optimism isn’t a book you have to sit and read in one sitting. This isn’t a book you even have to read in order. You can read page…

The “Mom” Moved IN!!
I don’t know about you guys, but for me time is going so FAST!!! I was going through old paperwork the other day and realized it’s been three years this Christmas since my Mom came to live with us. Now, by live with us, I mean in her very own apartment. We did things right! For the sake of all our sanity, we built an addition onto our home. This addition might be attached to our house, but from inside of her apartment, or inside the main part of the house, you would never know it. From the outside Mom’s apartment looks like a little California Bunglo. From the inside too…

Batter Babies!
So, what are Batter Babies? Only the coolest baking gadget yet!! Batter Babies are cake batter separators that are made just for cupcakes. Two year old Alice and I set out to make cupcakes for Halloween. Alice requested green and orange cupcakes. This was SO MUCH FUN!!! Alice made sure each of the yolks was popped before she stirred. She was crackin’ me up!! On the Kimber Cakeware site, I noticed that they used squeeze bottles to put different colored batter in each side. This would have been soooooooooo much easier!! I will pick up bottles on my next shopping trip. Spooning cake batter with a two-year-old?? Yummmm fun! But, SO…
