7 Easy Birthday Cake Designs
This next week we are hosting my daughter’s birthday and I decided to make the cake this year. I am always astonished at some of the cake designs on Pinterest. They are so talented! But I am not that talented by any means, so I wanted to find cake designs that could be done easily but look great. I think I am going to make the chocolate cake recipe again (go here for the recipe) and make some cupcakes. Here are some of my favorite cake designs.

Ideas for a Dragon-themed Party!
A few years back when the previews were showing for the new How to Train Your Dragon movie my daughter and I couldn’t wait to see it! We even hosted a dragon-themed birthday party the year the first movie came out and have some fun ideas you can use for your next party. This past month, Netflix aired their original series Dragons: Race to the Edge and introduces some of the most exciting dragons yet, each with its own amazing abilities — shock waves, cannon balls and fire blasts, just to name a few. With the magical Dragon Eye, an artifact Hiccup finds aboard an abandoned ship, Hiccup learns there is more outside the confines of Berk, and that…

Create an Art Journal
I love how coloring is bringing so much joy to people. From children to grown ups. Everyone has the potential to be creative. To color is a stress reliever.

I cannot imagine a day without artmaking, a day without color. This is how I unwind and de-stress. I often end my day with drawing, coloring and painting in my art journal. Have fun with this page! Use any materials you like,…

Movie Review :: All Creatures Big and Small
This past weekend my family and I attended a screening of the new animated movie All Creatures Big & Small which recently debuted on Google Play and in select theaters.

This fun and imaginative story includes a few made-up creatures like the Nestrians. As the flood arrives two young animals are left behind and are forced to learn to work together to overcome the challenges of survival. They find friendship and learn a few things about themselves along the way. My kids laughed at the humor and…

Amazon’s “Capture Their Love of Reading” Kindle Giveaway
Last year I had a chance to check out the new Kindle Fire HDX Tablet courtesy of Amazon and absolutely fell in love with it. I use to be pretty adamant about only reading book books but after trying out the Kindle I liked the ease of which I can order a book immediately in the comfort of my home. This has been really convenient when I am reading a series and can’t wait to start the next book. You know how that is when the author leaves you on a cliffhanger and you must start the new book immediately! Plus, I love all the deals they offer such as free books for…
