If you need an easy last minute Easter themed snack to take to your kid’s school or work this is for you!

DIY Valentine’s Felt Heart Wreath
For the last couple of years I’ve wanted a cute Valentine’s wreath but didn’t want to spend a ton of money for something I’d use one month of the year.

What You Need: -Styrofoam wreath in the shape of a heart (I got mine at Hobby Lobby in the biggest size they had) -1 yard red felt…

Save the Cake: Turning a one layer cake into two
Yesterday I told you I baked a cake for J’s birthday last week. See how beautiful it is. If you recall, this was the same cake just 10 minutes earlier. Since Google wasn’t super helpful in telling me what to do with this little disaster, I thought I’d post my own tutorial in case you find yourself in the same predicament. What You Need: -3 to 5 toothpicks -2 cans of frosting (or you can make your own) -Candles or Bunting (helps distract people from the look of your cake 🙂 What To Do: 1. Take a deep breath and get over the fact that you just f’d up your…
