Pineapple Coconut Carrot Cake

By Jean Genie

decorated Pineapple Coconut Carrot CakeA very sweet, moist, and fruity carrot cake, that is based on this recipe. Carrot cake can be dry so I am glad that the pineapple helped solve that. I am doubling the baking time because it literally took twice as long as what the link said.

Birthday and Christmas Gift Lists

By Judy

A wish list for a girl named Amy.Children want a lot of things. When my children were growing up, I would put everything they asked for on a list. Items had to be in our budget to be included on the list. A few weeks before their birthday or Christmas, I would have them look at the list and circle the 3-5 items they wanted the most. This way they would get something they wanted and still have an element of surprise.
