Shoutin’ from the Rooftop

OK. I will admit it openly that I have a sweet tooth. I love ice cream. Blame some of it on my husband who worked at Dairy Queen all through college. So I was excited to see Skinny Cow’s new ice cream cups (click here to view all varieties of the new cups) in Meijer & [...]

Saturday afternoon, the girls & I baked cookies. We were having company for lunch on Sunday so we thought that it would be a nice treat for our company. I knew those stinking cookies would be a temptation but I did pretty well with them over the weekend. But something snapped in my yesterday morning. [...]
