Crepes are one of my favorite ways to have a more formal or fancy dessert without it being too heavy in the hot weather. Add to that my love of chocolate, and you can see why these Chocolate Cream Stuffed Crepes are the perfect summer dessert for me! Chocolate Cream Stuffed Crepes These elegant ...
David Gray’s Mutineers – The Soundtrack to your Summer
I've loved music ever since I was a little kid. For me, music plays as big a part in many of my memories as the sights and smells I experienced. My husband loves listening to 80's music and I can just about name the year for each song that comes on and tell you what I was doing when that song was popular. Because of this, I'm always on the hunt for music that will create the mood and memories ...

Make your own flavored water – cucumber, watermelon, and basil.
Don't buy vitamin water or other flavored water! Make your own for just pennies... Last week, I shared the recipe for citrus and mint water. Today, I am trying cucumber, watermelon, and basil.

We returned a few times over the years for different exhibits we wanted to see, but once we had LJ I never really thought about bringing him to the museum. Earlier this year, his ...

For folks who live on either the East or West Coasts, deciding whether to vacation at Disneyland or Walt Disney World isn't too hard - they generally go to whichever park is closest. But for those of us living in the middle of the country, we really can access either park pretty easily which then presents a dilemma: which Disney Park to visit to express our Disney Side??? I grew up on the East ...
