I’ve been pretty MIA lately, especially in regard to this blog I started. Finding time to sleep has even been an issue for me. But, here I am back and possibly better? I’ll let you be the judge. I have always been into planning parties and love helping friends and family with the whole process… Continue reading Party Planning & Sharing

I was browsing my recipes for things to make to bring to a friends house for Super Bowl Sunday. I knew I was going to make empanadas, but I wanted something to go along with it. I came across this guacamole salsa and it’s definitely a winner. This recipe will probably change your life forever.… Continue reading Guac Salsa

I told myself and my bank account that this will be the last trip for me for a while – but I’m not making any promises.

After three stores, about 30 different costumes and a pit stop for hotdogs,… Continue reading Halloween Costume Horror

My all time favorite is just a roll of brown paper. This way I can accessorize the gift… Continue reading Wrap It Up!

Let’s be honest – we all love to eat good food. And some of us have been able to make it to Disney’s Epcot to eat (and drink) around the world. I just recently returned from a trip to Orlando, Florida where a couple of my bestfriends and I enjoyed the 20th Anniversary of Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival.… Continue reading EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
