I feel super honored to have been asked to bake and decorate 14 dozens of cookies for the end of the year Tea for The National Charity League. Although, I have a lot of things to learn when it comes to decorating and I'm still learning the tricks or the trade. Practice makes perfect, royal icing is hard to get perfect. I'm trying and will continue to practice. I was happy with the way they turned out. I was also excited that I was featured on Ernstopia blog, you can read her blog post HERE. Alyssa, did a whole post about the Tea Party and shared how she LOVED my cookies. Thank you! … [Read more...]
Pizza Weekend
My Brother and his family came into town for the weekend. His wife and two daughters stayed with us. My nieces are the sweetest little things. We watched the movie Moana and went to Target for a little shopping experience. We had such a packed fun filled weekend once everyone left on Sunday afternoon, I knew I didn't have the energy to make dinner so we decided to get Pizza takeout. MOD Pizza is newest/closest to our home, so that was the Pizza of choice. Don't you just love a good Pizza night? Seriously, I'm obsessed with my PIZZA sweatshirt... I was already wearing it, I must have had Pizza on my mind... Hope YOU had a wonderful weekend! … [Read more...]

Sweet Brenna
A week ago, I had to deliver horrible news to my daughter! I woke up to a phone call from a family friend letting me know that one of my daughter's friend had been killed in a car accident. I knew my daughter would be waking up soon... to beat any social media posts, I hung up the phone and ran downstairs to her room. Luckily, I told her before she saw anything online. Sitting in utter disbelief, we cried. Brenna Marissa Collacchi is now a Angel in Heaven. She was a lovely young lady who filled any room she entered with joy and happiness. Ellie and Brenna danced together at Clackamas High School and shared some amazing memories together. WHY? … [Read more...]

The Power Of Blogging
I can't believe it... I was asked to speak! Wait, What, You want ME? Out of the blue I received an email asking me to be a speaker at The Together Experience. A conference for creative women business entrepreneurs held in my home town Portland, Oregon. Feeling uncertain of WHAT I would speak about I accepted and couldn't have been more excited. Lucky for me I have friends who could help. My friend Jessica Rasdall help write my speak with me and my other friend Illiah Manger turn it into a PowerPoint presentation. Seriously, without them I wouldn't know what I would have done! Both Jessica and Illiah and I met at a conference last August … [Read more...]
The Nines
I am so excited to be at The Nines Hotel in Downtown Portland. This is where my conference is being held! A group of us had drinks and appetizers last night and ventured over to the roof top for a few photos. I was a bit chilly to sit outside but in the Summer time I'm pretty sure it's a awesome place to hang. Even though I live in Portland, I haven't ever stayed at The Nines Hotel. For me this was a FUN staycation! The suites are so CHIC... I love my room and wall paper on the walls. I'm so happy to be able to call this home for the next few days while I'm attending this conference. Happy Thursday sweet Friends! The weekend is … [Read more...]
