Slow down. Enjoy lost arts, food, nature and each other. Trade frenzy for fun. Reconnect with that part of ourselves and our families that can get lost in the shuffle of our busy lives.

Can you share an easy, crowd-pleasing birthday party cake or cupcake recipe? (please include a link to a photo!)

One of the most crowd-pleasing birthday cakes I made for my daughter came from the Disney Family Fun book. It was a Sleepover Cake made by cutting Twinkies in half the long way and placing them atop a sheet cake, before frosting the whole thing to look like one big bed. Each Twinkie-shaped girl then gets a Nilla-wafer head and squeezed-frosting hair. We decorated the bed's blanket with frosting flowers and gave each girl a designated guest's correct hair and eye color. The cake was a huge hit and pretty easy to make. There's a picture of one here:
