Piña Colada Cupcakes
Were you afraid I forgot to make the July cupcake from the challenge? Never fear, here is the Piña Colada Cupcake. I really think this was one of the cupcakes everyone was looking forward too, that and last months. February’s was good too. I think May’s was the worst IMO. I have a feeling May’s…

A Week in Southern Oklahoma – Part 1

Chichén Itzá
If you would have told me that this year I would see one of the 7 Wonders of the World, I’d have laughed in your face. Not because I don’t want to, but this is the closest I’ve been to seeing one…. In 2007 Chichén Itzá was added to the list of the 7 Wonders…

Dream Big but not too big
One of my new favorite movies has got to be My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. I remember when the first one came out, it was cute but I never thought it was nearly as funny as everyone else did. When I was in grad school we learned that your perceptions of the world are…

One of our excursions were to jump on the ferry and travel across to the mainland. Our destination… Chichén Itzá. If you ever have…
