    I’m currently consumed by what’s going on in the Gulf and at a loss for ways to help. I’m writing this today to ask you for help. If you know how to help the victims of the Gulf oil spill—both animal and human—please post links or let me know what your thoughts are. This is…

    Today I “Deactivated” my Facebook account. I wanted to delete it but apparently that’s not really an option over there. So, yeah. Deactivated. Let me begin by stating that I am by no means someone who holds back when it comes to sharing personal information on the Web. (How old is this website?) But I do…

  • Support American Soccer! Great Family Fun.

    On Saturday my family headed to Harrison, New Jersey to watch the New York Red Bulls take on Philadelphia Union. The Red Bulls won 2-1. It was a great game. I was initially a little worried about taking Emory to a place where he might need to sit still for longer than 10 minutes. I…

  • Style Lush

    My Lollipop shop was featured on the Style Lush blog, which is awesome. If you’re interested in entering to win a batch of lollipops, stop by and leave a comment. From their site: “all you have to do to enter is tell Style Lush which of the flavors would float your boat.” Also: I should add that just…

  • I'm On Alpha Mom!

    Check it out, my friends! Alpha Mom featured my tutorial on how to make homemade lollipops! Stop by and say hello! Is it OK to be super geeked about this? Because I am. I’m thrilled. A big thanks to Alpha Mom for the opportunity!

  • The Flootbeer Roat

    I met this little feller on Saturday. He was orphaned, but some caring humans took him in. Once he’s rehydrated and old enough to eat on his own, he’ll be rereleased back out into his home. I hope to have more information on this little dude soon. But totally wanted to share just how small…

  • Mom It Down: Chai Lollipops (For Sale!)

    I love chai. My love for chai is actually why I took up candy-making again a while back. I wanted to make a chai lollipop for myself. Unfortunately, I realized right away that I wouldn’t gain instant gratification; I’d have to make an extract first. So, I revisited my homemade whole wheat chai muffin recipe and…

  • Lollipops By Mihow (What I've Been Doing.)

    It may seem like I haven’t been baking much lately. But that’s not the case at all, my friends! I’ve actually been in the kitchen more so than ever. You see, I’ve been making lollipops. The whole adventure came on suddenly but has proven to be rather amazing. And, get this! I’m going to be…

  • A Big Etsy WTF.

    I admit, I have an addiction when it comes to Etsy. I just can’t stop buying things, they’re not pricey things, but they’re things nonetheless. (Once I receive said things in the mail, I will definitely share them with you.) But this thing? Even as an addict, there’s just no way. Even I can’t find…
