A Castle for a Princess #DisneyPrincessWMT
It's exactly two weeks away from Christmas and usually by now, I am in a panic. My daughter is not the kind of kid that asks for many different things.

This Christmas, all she wants is Mattel's Disney … [Read more...]

This being the holiday season, I often think back to all the treats I have been able to have over the years and I remember one I tried with a friend long ago. It is a different dessert, because it's from South Africa, but … [Read more...]
