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…
Is it officially spring yet? I’m so over the cold and the dreary weather. These St. Patrick’s Day cookies were so fun to make. Ironically, the ones that took me the longest to make were the mini and standard pot of gold cookies. While the sprinkles were easy to scatter…
