A springtime fresh tablescape is one of my favorites to pull together, and usually the easiest for me to conceptualize as well.

In the heat of the Summer, I want everything frozen. Everything. And since I’m trying to eat healthier and cut my sugars back, ice cream and ice blended coffee fraps are not necessarily on my daily intake list, though I wish they were! When we returned from our hike the other day I just wanted …

As much as I’ve been desperately trying to cut back on sugar {not because it’s trendy, but because I got a high glucose reading last year :/}, I sometimes still have to splurge. And let me just say, these cake pops are the thing to splurge on. Cake Pops have been THE cute go-to dessert …
