Quick and easy recipes that kids can help with are always welcomed in our household, especially when they are for a class party for said kiddo.

King cakes end just in time for those Valentine's chocolates! So if you are at home enjoying the day off and looking for something to do, a Valentine's Day recipe may be just what you need.

I'm going to tell you a secret-my secrets, the secrets of a semi-professional occasional photographer who thrives on lifestyle and editorial imagery- on how to achieve a picture perfect holiday to make your friends and followers wonder if you have a pro on retainer for the holiday.
Here's the secret: Most of those pictures are staged. Yep. Totally fake. Curated. But you can still make magic on a more realistic scale. But first, a teeny tiny, itty bitty disclaimer: I do not subscribe to the idea of presenting a false narrative of...
