Our editor Melissa's birthday is this week so we decided to surprise her today with a little office birthday celebration. We had Jon occupy her in a "meeting" while we set up the conference room for the big surprise. I made a few gingerbread cookies for the occasion and decorated them with a festive twist!

Celebrate This: National Ice Cream Sandwich Day
The Earl of Sandwich couldn’t have possibly predicted that his name would go on to be attached to such amazing things.

However, lollipops reserve a special place in my heart not only for their simplicity, but also for their ability to transcend time and [...]
