Oh Laduree, you are a treat for the senses In 2006 while watching the film, "Marie Antoinette" for the very first time I sat amazed by the colors, costumes but most of all the confections. The pastries and macarons for the film were made Laduree of Paris. Since then it has been a dream of mine to visit Laduree in person. Years ago I could only dream of going to Laduree as Keep Reading >>

I never know what to say when Keep Reading >>
Sorting Hats or Demonic Poop Emojis? You decide.
File this under #nailedit. The 11th birthday is a very Harry Potter one in our house. That was when the story began for the Boy Who Lived. So while my son didn't want a full-on Harry Potter party for his 11th birthday (we got that more than covered with Camp Mama,) he did want a Harry Potter cake. A Harry Potter birthday cake is easy enough. Messy is even a plus, assuming you've read the books Keep Reading >>
