Easter Joy Away From Home – Shari’s Berries

April 8, 2015

Happy Belated Easter! I apologize for the late post but being inadvertently unplugged for a week has its drawbacks. Not to mention the whole traveling across country on Easter Day aspect.

Cinnamon Cookie Brittle

December 11, 2013

Did y’all know that there are only two weeks left until Christmas?! Seriously only two weeks! Time truly does fly when you’re having fun.

I did notice something though, I seem to have […]
