Hot Nutella...in April?

We interrupt your regularly schedule spring to bring you a few cold, damp days.

Look on the bright, warm, creamy side...

Hot Chocolate Nutella!

Perfection! And the kids loved it too (a saving grace for my daily calorie intake)!

Buttercream's Not Just For Cake Anymore...

Driving home from dinner, my 3 year old let out an 
"Oh SH#%!"

Insert gasp. 

What now? 

Though I'm no behavior specialist, I got this!

*Contain your laughter.
*Drive home, making no contact with those giant brown eyes.
*Kiss the little foul mouth goodnight.
*Dip into the left over buttercream (spoonful, fistful, who am I to judge).
*Pour yourself a glass of wine.
*And THANK GOD it wasn't the F word!
