Have you ever noticed how there is not a holiday where chocolate is not acceptable? Why is it that chocolate goes up in cost at the holidays? Hi good morning welcome to Its A Mom Life, I'm Kandis and I love chocolate. Well sweets for that matter, when it comes to will power I have none, when it comes to sweets! I love baking which does not always help. The only good thing is I can say it's healthier as I'm stuffing my mouth lol! I thought I would share how I made very easy, basic chocolates for Easter this year. This is how I melt all chocolate for baking also. I use a double boiling pot method! I do this way as chocolate burns easier then one thinks. This just makes it a little more fool proof as you melt the chocolate. For this method simply take 2 pots, one that will fit in the other. Add water to the bottom pot, place smaller pot in water. Heat on low to medium heat. Add your chocolate to the empty pot, stir while it melts. For these chocolates I used white ...

Good morning everyone and welcome to Its A Mom Life. Today's is Tuesday and just such a busy one at that. Today in thought I would share my supper with you! It's a busy evening again here in the Blask house. With there being basketball practice and parent teacher conferences before supper, I thought why not run to the city also this morning to get a couple things for Easter, and do a quick grocery pickup! Have you tried grocery pickup? It truly is a game changer I think. With all this happening all before 5 pm, there isn't much time for much in between. So when in doubt bring the slow cooker out!
