When you buy cookies for Ukraine, this is where it’s going this time! ❤️
Meeeeeemorieeees like the corner of my mind.
Is that how it goes? My memory isn’t the best. Hahaha! With Saint Patrick’s day being in this month, I decided to make Watergate salad. It’s green, and so why not? I remember eating this “salad” as a kid and really liking it. My mom had a good recipe and in my mind, she always…
Trust the process
I made a couple of cakes over the weekend, and my theme turned out to be “trust the process”. Baking the cakes don’t bother me, it’s the decorating that always makes me second guess everything. I always think things are such a mess, and then all of a sudden it comes together! Like this. Look…
Pie Day!!!!
It’s March 14. 3.14 Pi day Pie Day!!! We ended up getting a big bag of apples through a fundraiser at church. I’m not really an apple-a-day-keeps-the-doctor-away person, so I needed to find a way to use up these apples and since it’s Pie Day, what better way to put these apples to use? It’s…
Broken hearts
I went to Ukraine the other day. Ok, maybe it’s been over 14 years ago, but still. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago. It was my second time there, and this time I flew by myself and met Andrew in the Kyiv airport in the northern part of the country. We visited…

Mini mini chocolate chip cookies

Shrinky dinky doo
I got to thinking after writing one of the earlier posts about shrinky dinks. I wanted to see if it was just as fun as I remembered. So I went to Amazon and bought a cute little Shrinky dink kit. And do you know what? It was! I had my fun little basic markers and…
Pebbles for Penguins
According to science, and/or maybe fairy tales, penguins look for the perfect pebble to bring to another penguin in hopes that the pebble will make their mate so happy that they will want to be with them forever. I think that’s the very basic version anyway, and I’m sure there is much more to it,…
Who is Carol Elaine and why isn’t she writing this blog?
If you’ve made it here from my Facebook page, this post will make a lot more sense. Ha!
