Life is funny and in my kitchen it is frequently ugly too. Inspired by such domestic greats as Martha, Paula, The Pioneer Woman and Bakerella, I am continually humbled by my lack of culinary skills and stretching those grace muscles! I invite you to giggle along with me and hopefully avoid a few disasters.

The Importance of Reading Instructions

Pinterest is great. I love it and waste spend many hours a week scrolling through and pinning wonderful ideas. The problem is Pinterest tricks me into thinking I can do all of these beautiful, creative things. I am sure many people can, at least a few do, but these people possess gifts I do not. Like the ability to read things through. READ not skim. All the way to the end. And to do so {before} it is a major fail.

Case in point:

Valentine's Day - Reality





Like lipstick on a pig, it might not look good but it was still pretty tasty. Kind of.
