Have you ever made a cake only to have to shave part of the top off because you can’t seem to bake a flat cake? I know I have! I had to make the little man’s birthday cake today, so I knew I was going to need some help getting my round cakes to bake …

I’m not a fan of sponges and washcloths. I would much rather use a paper towel that I know is clean and can be thrown out after I’m done using it. I’m not a big germaphob either, but salmonella really freaks me out. This tip makes me feel a lot better about using sponges though. …

I’m not a huge muffin person. I will always pass on those big, sugary muffins that most places sell. I’m very sensitive to sugar in the mornings, so I can’t mess around with those.

As many of you know, I love my Mexican food. I use a lot of taco seasoning, but that stuff is loaded with all kinds of unnecessary ingredients. Why not make your own? Ingredients: 1 part chili powder 1 part ground cumin 1 part garlic powder 1 part onion powder 1/4 – 1/2 part crushed …

Our poor little man has so many magnets and nowhere to put them. Our refrigerator isn’t magnetic, so he’s out of luck there. I made him a great chalkboard wall in his playroom last year using chalkboard paint. That stuff is great! Do you know what isn’t? The magnetic paint that I put underneath. That …

Have you seen this one? The pin claims that you can unlock a car door using a tennis ball. Does it sound too ridiculous to be true? That’s because it is. I decided to give it a try because a friend of mine, Karen, wanted to know if it worked. I was curious too after …
