This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carapelli for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. A few years ago, I was traveling with my husband in Boston. He was on a business trip and was working during the days, and I was working from the hotel in the mornings and then…

I love bundt cakes… They are kind of like the tom boy of the cake world, but in a really good way. It’s not much of a secret to anyone who knows me that I can be a bit high maintenance. I’m not much of a tom boy at all. I am the girl who…

Things are a bit slow around my house at the moment.  My husband is doing a great job helping me out in the kitchen, and I have even mustered up the energy to do a few (small) things myself. Baby steps! While I have managed to put a few dishes in the dishwasher, chop some…
