Welcome!

Welcome! My mom's mom, started a great tradition that was handed down to my mom, and then to me and my sister. Every December, we pick one night to stay up as late as we can and bake all different kinds of cookies and dessert bars to be given as gifts on Christmas. We bake into the early hours of the morning and when we're done, the dining room table is laden with platters and plates doning the most irrestible creations. This wonderful tradition is what began my love of baking, and it is something I hope to someday share with my daughter. I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog about dessert almost as much as I've enjoyed tasting and writing about dessert. Enjoy!

Hello again...for now.

The life of a mother is very busy. The life of a pregnant mother is busy and exhausting. Take into account the nausea of the first trimester and a change in appetite (particularly a drop in my sweet tooth) and suddenly three months have gone by without a single new blog entry.

Well into the second trimester...my appetite is back and my sweet tooth is mostly back, so here we go again, blogging about the sweeter side of life. I've also started a shop on Etsy.com called Baby Bling by Jen, so the time that I used to blog (10pm when the baby finally goes to sleep) is now taken up with crafting, photography and writing product descriptions for my online store. But I do love to bake, eat and write...so hello again, for now.  :) :) :)
