I asked Bob to build me a raised bed to grow a salsa garden, and wa-la! He built this in 3 hrs!
He’s super handy when he wants to be! It’s built into the slope next to the driveway, 4×6. Now if the weather would just shape up I could get started. (and maybe I can talk him into doing the sandbox….)
We were going to a friend’s for dinner Friday and I was dying for Key Lime Pie. I bought everything, prepared the pie, and was going to top it with meringue. The consistency was never quite right, but I just slapped it on anyway and headed out. We finish eating dinner, I slice the first piece of pie still wondering why the stupid meringue doesn’t look right. I took a little swipe, a lick, OH DEAR GOD. When I labelled everything in my pantry, I mixed up the salt and the sugar. So I was stuck with a Key Lime Salt Whipped Pie. My mom is still laughing at me, she took a taste to be funny and said, “it tastes like a margarita!”. Yeah, FUNNY.
I take what I can get. (disclaimer, pictures were taken without permission)

Are bloggers who proudly identify as “bad moms” challenging ideals of motherhood or reinforcing them? Kara Jesella April 3, 2009
The bake sale Bonanza is on!
Twice a year Brinn’s preschool does a bake sale fundraiser. I blogged in the fall about all of the pies I made for before Thanksgiving, so this Easter I did cupcake baskets and bags of cut outs!
I bought cupcake papers with bunnies on them $1, snack bags were .29 cents each (8), Michael’s had photo boxes on sale 3 for $5 and I recycled the Easter Baskets that the Easter Bunny left here last year.
The yellow cupcakes above are lemon, and the white are almond.
Bunnies with marizpan noses. I’m not a huge frosting fan on cut outs so I go light.
Ducks with marzipan beaks
Tulips, and those are the cookie bags
Brinn did her own cupcake
Maeve taste-tested
and the final product, treats in boxes
and baskets
I was up until 1am because my sugar buzz was out of control
