Jumping In With The #LuvSoFab Photo a Day Challenge

[ 22 ] June 7, 2013 |

Ever since I started baking with the #BundtAMonth group, I have been steadily feeding the cakes to my co-workers.  The cakes disappear rather quickly, especially when the word spreads that my department has treats.  On top of my coworkers enjoying the cakes, I am now getting requests for co-worker’s favorite flavors!  This really makes my heart [...]

Arm Yourself with Colgate Total Advanced for Tooth Protection @ColgateSmile

[ 5 ] June 1, 2013 |

Each morning I remind my 8 year old to brush her teeth, and every night without fail, I send her up to brush them again before bed.   But I have a horrible confession to make. I don’t do the same.  I am pretty much a slacker, when it comes to my own tooth protection and [...]
