Our neighborhood got together last Sunday afternoon. We grabbed out chairs and sat around our cul-de-sac, keeping our 6 foot distance. It almost felt normal. We chatted, laughed, and ate. I made vanilla cupcakes with these spring fondant toppers to share with everyone. If you’ve never made fondant toppers, they…
It’s Easter weekend! Under normal circumstances, our family would be getting ready for Good Friday in preparation for Easter Sunday. At least our church will be streaming the service. And usually after church we head over to my husband’s parents’ house for the first of two Easter egg hunts. The…

I am trying to will spring to come. Yes, yes, I know it’s officially here, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it. There are streaks of sunlight, but it’s quickly gobbled up by ominous clouds and cold rain. Making spring cookies was my way of letting Mother Nature know that it…
