    Stopping at Wall Drug is a must if you are in South Dakota. I had never been before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. When we arrived, immediately I felt overwhelmed.

Four Kinds Of Apps Everyone Should Have On Their Phone

There is something of a - slightly snobbish - tendency to assume the worst of someone who frequently has their phone in their hand. Either they must be addicted to social media, or they’re texting someone, or it is for some other “bad” reason. However, this is deeply unfair, considering just how pivotal phones are to a human life these days. That person with their phone in their hand could, just as easily, be doing tomorrow’s grocery shopping, paying their bills, making a doctor’s appointment, ...

Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

I love chocolate and candy canes together so I thought a double chocolate chip cookie with a little bit of crushed candy canes would be a total hit. And it is!

To make a batch of these double chocolate peppermint cookies you will need the following - 1 1/4 C Flour 1/3 C Cocoa Powder 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Baking Soda 1/4 tsp ...

Accessories Add The Perfect Finishing Touch To Your Home

We don’t know about you, but we think finishing touches make a home! Sprinkle some glam with accessories, including rugs, mirrors, pictures, wall art, ornaments, and more.  Once architects, like https://scenarioarchitecture.com/lp/architects-sevenoaks/, have created the perfect design, it is up to you to add the finishing touches. For the fashionistas amongst us, wall art makes all of the difference, including Coco Chanel designs and prints inspired by a woman’s best friends – shoes and ...

Snowman Cake Pops

I think cake pops are my new favorite treat to make! They are fairly easy to make and you can spend as little or as much time as you want to decorate them. This snowman cake pop is a very simple design but looks super cute and festive for the holidays! You can choose any flavor combination you would like for the cake and frosting. I chose a hot cocoa cake and a peppermint frosting because I thought that just screamed snowman. But feel free to use whatever you would like. To make these ...
