Life In Pleasantville

Easter Brunch is one of my favorite things. I think because it is an official sign that summer is finally on it’s way. The colors of Easter are pretty and fun. Brunch in itself is FABOOSH because it is served late enough in the morning it is more than acceptable to have a cocktail. After …
I love a few things in life. I love coffee, and chocolate, and…oh yes! I love my kids, and dessert, and also coconut. It’s pretty easy to make me happy if a day can somehow involves all these things. We’ve been trying to eat a healthier diet here at my house, and since cold and …
