It would be a fabulous gift and would be a great addition to your Christmas decorations because it adds light and a festive atmosphere wherever you put it. It can […]
Putting the Candy in CandyLand
Why haven’t I thought of this before? I’ve asked myself that question 20 times this week. While traveling in San Diego I found and bought a “chocolate” version of the popular children’s game, Candy Land. I bought it from the Candy Bandit in a boutique called: “Lucky U” in La Jolla. Anywho, as the mother of […]
Unite To Fight
We began our last blog entry with the sentence, “We’ve had quite a year “….Well we HAVE. We’re two sisters. We don’t live particularly close to each other. My mom would call us “G.U.’s.” which means: “geographically undesirable”. I’m Laura, the oldest, the youngest is Christi. We are 15 1/2 years apart. My kids are […]
“Tic Tac You” Is Finally Here!
After much waiting, Tic Tac You is FINALLY here. We’ve had quite a year. Really. We LOVED starting a blog and creating ideas. We loved other people’s ideas and meeting together to plan what we’d do next. We don’t live particularly close to each other. My mom would call us G.U.’s. which means: “geographically undesirable”.

This ones a cinch to put together and hopefully will NOT be needed anytime soon. This emergency fire starter kit can be kept on hand […]
Sixth Sense Cookie Butter Brownies
These are delicious and very easy to make. We got the recipe from Lauren’s Latest and from the moment I laid my eyes on these babies, it was like I knew they were going to be sinfully delicious. I highly recommend the frosting. Another use for the Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter besides eating it […]
The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie
Look closely at this picture. Is this cookie literally winking at me? Yep, and it tuns out I am quite smitten as well…Now get inside my belly! This chocolate chip cookie may be the best we have ever come across. We make every recipe before we put it on our blog, so obviously we MUST […]
Memory Plates
Wish we could say we thought this up, but it’s floating around the internet from school and crafty websites, to personal family blogs. LOVE it though. Did you know your child’s artwork can become permanent on a plain glass plate? (We even bought ours from the dollar store, to see if this DIY worked […]
Quinoa Kick
We were salivating by the time this salad was finished. Not only is this quinoa salad gorgeous to look at, it smells heavenly. The dressing is easy to make and has some sass and kick. Quinoa is so versatile. You can make any flavor or theme from Southwestern to Chinese. You can add nearly […]
