If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen a tantalizing picture of Hot Fudge that I had just whipped up. Well the other day I had a hankering to make something delicious and I wanted to try making Hot Fudge. My grandma had a simple recipe that I followed. The only problem is that I used Fat Free Evaporated Milk instead of the regular kind which meant that there was no fat in the mixture. Sounds healthy right? Well no fat also … [Read more...]

Who do you think is the easiest person to shop for? Your kids? Your spouse? Your Mom & Dad? How about the hardest? Typically I think most people would vote that the hardest person to shop for is the menfolk. We always want to be able to give gifts that are special and meaningful to the recipient, but sometimes giving your husband another new tie just doesn't really have that impact.

**Stop reading if you are my oldest sister! As Christmas day approaches, I found myself wanting to do something special for a deserving family. And right now, I can't seem to stop thinking about my sister's family. My sister, her husband, and all the kids really, are such amazing examples to me of patience, love, and hard work. They have had such a rough several years, ever since my sister gave birth to her youngest baby at 23 weeks. … [Read more...]

I pretty much adore everything about Christmas, but something I think is a really cool tradition is neighbor gifts. It's … [Read more...]
I got the opportunity to try out this new app that is interactive with cards, courtesy of Cypher Kids. We got these learning cards, each in a different pack: letters, numbers, and animals. With each set you download a free app through itunes. Then you open the app on your ipod touch (the ones with a camera), ipad, or iphone and scan the special coded square on the back. It will bring up a 3D and interactive picture on your device. … [Read more...]
This is the first year that my son will get to experience going back to school. He started Pre-K with 9 weeks of school left, so this is the inaugural Back To School time and I'm not sure that I'm ready for it. My Luke has been excited for this all summer, it's just the momma in me that's have the tough time with the thought of my baby leaving for his first full year at school. As much as I'm not ready, I still want to make sure that his teacher … [Read more...]
Hi Honeybear Lane Readers! Rebecca here from B.Life (the life behind the bags) with a sewing tutorial for all your seamstresses out there. It's beach time in America. Lots of travel, vacations, and relaxing amidst sand and water. And since no one reads real-life books anymore, e-readers have become the beach companion of choice! Only problem is, they cost so much, you want to do everything you can to protect it. Especially my husband's - he's … [Read more...]
