Spring and Summer bring out the fun, sweet and berry-infused desserts in me. I want color and fresh fruit featured in so many of the treats I create for my friends and family. COOL WHIP Whipped Topping is a great way to top off or compliment the dishes that I make too. … [Read more...]

Small children tinker in corners, scattering toys, chucking sippy cups half full of milk and spraying it around the room. The dog walks by and poops on the floor.
