This post brought to you by Silk. All opinions are 100% mine. Did you have a nice Mother's Day? We had a wonderful weekend. We had nice weather with some sporadic rain and my tulips came up.

by Carol Arroyo TheBakingPan Recommends: The BEST instant read thermometer I've used for cooking and baking; the ThermoWorks Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is incredibly fast, accurate, and well worth the investment.

This sure has been a week straight out of a Disney fairytale, hasn't it? The prince got his princess, the bad guy died. And while I can't celebrate the death of a person, it does give me a sense of peace to know that he can't do any more harm.
Who wants to hear me complain about exams and school life? *Nobody puts their hands up* *One of those ball of twigs that blows around in cowboy films blows around here right now* What's that even called? Is it tumbleweed?
