 Kale chips-I would eat these over regular chips any day! YUM! Once a mom always a cook



Now onto dessert! My sister Lauralyn is a big fan of cooking light. A lot of what she makes or her inspiration comes from recipes in those magazines or cookbooks. These cupcakes were inspired by this Caramel layered cake recipe.

Pink black and striped nails

I always have to have my toenails painted whether they are seen or not! It just makes me feel better. The fun thing about painting nails is there is no limit to what you can do! Any crazy color, bold design or print will look good on anyone and its just fun! So here is my Valentines inspired toes.

Pin It

To make the stripes, I had to paint the whole nail black and  let that dry. I then I cut skinny strips of tape for the stripes and stuck it on my nail and then painted over the whole nail with white nail polish. When the white polish was dry I peeled off the tape. To make the heart I pored a little pink nail polish in a tray and dipped my ball point tool in it then dotted the heart on my nail. When my nails are dry I always put clear shinny coat so that all that work will look good for weeks!
