Such an Inspiration!

 Did you catch Nie Nie on Oprah last week? I was so excited when I heard she was going to be on. I had just started blogging when she was in the plane crash.

Ooey Gooey Fall Goodness

Growing up in Michigan, one of my favorite childhood memories is going for long drives as a family to see the Fall leaves. We would drive into the Amish Country and stop at a huge barn where we would buy hot steaming sugared doughnuts and fresh hot apple cider. Those hot doughnuts were so heavenly. And for some reason sugared donuts always remind me of those wonderful Fall excursions. So to … [Read more...]
