Tasty Nostalgia
Nostalgia turned into a lovely meal! With everyone making plans for Easter, I remembered Mom making Chicken Waikiki Beach every year and I just had to have it.
If love were what the rose is…
I have always liked this poem. I first read it years ago in a book of love poems from Victoria’s Secret (right? I don’t think they’d ever do this now). It was a slim book in a case with a blue ribbon to mark your page. And I think it smelled slightly of cedar. A Match by Algernon Charles Swinburne If love were what the rose is,
Seeing Visions
I am part of this really cool 8 week coaching intensive program, the Live Your Dream Challenge with Jenny Fenig, success coach to savvy women-on-a-mission, and our first assignment was to create vision boards – a way of seeing what your dream looks like to better help you achieve that dream.

The base of the wreath is the same as my Winter Wreath, two circles of cardboard glued together. I got the flower
Let Me Eat Cake!
I went to a at a BBQ this past weekend and one of the fellas made these absolutely wonderful red velvet cupcakes. They were just perfect – moist, even texture and the frosting was even edible.
