Babycakes Makes This Oven-less Mom Happy!

When I say I love to bake, I am not exaggerating.  I love everything about baking from the mixing of the ingredients, to the smell of the chosen treat, and of course the biting into the tastiness when the project is complete.  Unfortunately for me my love of baking was put on hold for about 6 months since our oven died and we have yet to replace it.

Carving Time Out For Family Dinner {Stouffer’s Prize Pack Giveaway} closed

Now I love candy just as much as the next person (Okay possibly a little more).  While Halloween is fun, candy, crafts and parties we can't let it take over family time.  Welcome to Day 4 of my week long Nestle Family Halloween Party.  Today's Giveaway is courtesy of Stouffer's. As a parent I think it's very important to spend time with each other and talk about your day really just visit and Read More »»
