12 easy desserts Mom will love


Hi, Reader!

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with something sweet and homemade.

We’ve gathered 12 of our favorite desserts that feel extra special, but are also super easy.

The fancy looking chocolate dessert you see pictured above? It's our Magical Melt-in-Your-Mouth 5-Minute Chocolate Mousse. I know what you're thinking... "Really, 5 Minutes? 🤔 It can't be that easy".

Really, it is! And if you're still a bit skeptical, here's what one of our readers had to say after making it:

This is the most delicious dessert anyone can make with minimal effort! I made it for the second time this afternoon so my husband and I could enjoy it for our Valentine’s Day evening dessert! It is so easy to make! It is so delicious….so smooth with a rich chocolate flavor. Julie

All of these recipes are designed to impress without keeping you in the kitchen all day. So whether you’re planning a brunch, lunch, a simple family dinner, or a fun little dessert party, these sweet-treat recipes are the perfect way to celebrate!

Three cheers for all of the Moms out there! 🙌 🙌 🙌

Hi, Reader! Welcome to September's edition of Things We're Loving Lately! But, before we dive in I wanted to give you a little update after last week's newsletter. So many of you kindly responded to my request for naming ideas for our ever-growing volunteer pumpkin- thank you! Here are a few highlights.... Jeanne (from Australia!) came up with 'Polly the Pumpkin' Rodney hilariously shared 'AC-PB, similar to ACDC, but with flavor' 😂 Eva (from Germany!) suggested Soleidad, which apparently...

Hi, Reader! Fair warning: I’m about to take you down a little rabbit hole.
