Erin’s “Tunnel Of Love” Easter Cake. Yeah, you can stop laughing right now! I can TOO bake! Sometimes… a couple of things… the kitchen doesn’t always look like a goat exploded all over it. Angel Food Cake with a luscious chocolate filling and whipped cream to frost it all. Make my cake. Eat it. WORSHIP ME. […]
DIY St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Tree I’ve learned that no corner of the house goes undecorated in Zoe’s Holiday Reign Of Terror. When I cleared our Halloween decor this year, my 9-year-old was inconsolable until I put up the Christmas finery. No sooner was that down when I was required to present Valentine’s Day. Now […]
Kid-Tested (And Kid-Approved) Jokes. I’m not going to lie, I looked these up with my fourth-grader as self-defense. There’s only so many “jokes” that don’t go anywhere that I can take, and now that my Zoe’s ten, she is the Queen of Truly Terrible Puns- she can barely get the joke out before dissolving into […]
Corned Beef & Cabbage With Mary Helen’s Magnificent Mustard Sauce – A meal so amazing you’d leg-wrestle your grandma for the last bite.

Erin here… I have to be honest–years of hosting New Year’s Eve events as a radio “personality” leaves me with a loathing for the Big Drunken Bar Fest. It’s depressing being the only sober one in the room and trying to give […]
(Image credit: Pexels) “I Need HOW Many Lights?” A Guide To Decorating Your Christmas Tree. I know I’m not the only frustrated Martha Stewart wanna-be who’s done the Decorating Walk Of Shame to the store at midnight, buying 16 more packages of lights for the tree because I ran out halfway through. And you can’t […]
(Image credit: Bruce Mars) Controlling Christmas Expectations: Free Printable “I Want” Tags I’ve battled expectations from my eight-year-old Zoe, (and thank you, parents of classmates who give bikes for Easter and an Xbox for getting a flu shot!) and this is the time every year we start really, really controlling what she watches. Every kid’s […]
(Image credit: Pixabay) Five New Holiday Traditions To Try. I’d forgotten the excitement the twins used to show when we’d open the boxes filled with Christmas decorations. Now they’re 19 and too cool (I think they still dig it) to show it. But 8-year-old Zoe is all about asking “where did we get those stars?” And “is […]
