DIY: West Elm Tree Stump Side Table
DIY West Elm Tree Stump Side Table Yes, you can make this yourself! About 4 months ago I had the Best Birthday and Bryce and I built a tree stump side tables or stools for our living room. The inspiration came from living in a cedar home and loving wood – and having a few down trees in the yard that were dry and ready for a project. Now, why would you want to order this stump from West Elm? I can see that you…

Noah’s Ark Waterpark What a fun place to spend a day (or two). When I was little we went to Noah’s Ark on vacation. I’ll never forget constantly asking if my brother, who’s name is Noah, could get in for free because of his name. I was so proud of him and thought he should be rewarded! The sun was out, the day was 32 degrees C or 90 degrees F, and it was September 1. Thank goodness for the heatwave that moved in to…

Milwaukee Eats
Milwaukee Eats Yes, I love food. I love good food, creative food, and even exotic food. On this trip to Milwaukee we ate at two special places. Neither exotic, yet both very good. First up – Transfer Pizzeria. What got us into this adorable and trendy place? A quick gluten free yelp search. Oh, and this article from Serious Eats. The best part about their menu – every pizza can be made gluten free. This is the margarita pizza. Fresh and simple. The basil is…

Milwaukee Zoo Milwaukee Zoo. What a place. We’ve been to a few zoos – the Dallas Zoo, the LA Zoo and then some animal places in Las Vegas. This zoo is great. Different from other zoos, yet still just as fun. One of the best parts about this zoo – the cost is only 14.95$ a person. What? So cheap. Okay – being from Canada, I just loved these lazy grizzly bears. Not only were they adorable, but their claws – look how big they…

Recipe: Homemade Snickers
Homemade Snickers. What? Yes. I remember when I was working at Cedar Point (I worked in Camp Snoopy and the Gemini the summer of 2002) and I would walk to the back of the park before it was open to get to the rides I was working. Along the way there were these chocolate bar vending machines which served cold chocolate bars – not frozen, just cold – for a dollar. Oh man, I must have eaten about 30 cold snickers that summer. They were…

Recipe: Billionaire Bars
Billionaire bars – I have no idea where it started. All I know is that it’s a complete combination of 4 awesome treats: shortbread cookie, salted caramel, cookie dough, and chocolate ganache. There are many recipes floating around Pinterest with regards to billionaire bars, but these ones are amazing. You need to try them. I’ve yet to make them gluten free, but I hope to soon – it was hard to make them and not sneak one. Ingredients Shortbread Layer 1/2 cup of brown sugar…
