We are going to continue start our Big Birthday Giveaway with the amazing handmade bath and body confections perfect for a spa at home. Laura developed the Baby Fizz line fourteen years ago  out of necessity  for her own children   . When she had her first baby he had very sensitive skin and Laura was always extremely careful about the type of products she used.  One day, she just decided to do some research and learn to make her own.  At the age of six her son Skylar, created the Bizzy Fizz line during a home science experiment. Today, they have put both their brilliant minds together and have created so many more wonderful products.   Bizzy Fizz Bath Treats are giving away a 'Tiny Traveler's Comfort Kit' with  1oz Lavender Rock A Baby Lotion,  1oz Tiny Tushie Powder,  1oz Tiny Tushie Spray,  .5oz Tiny Tushie Balm,  2 Oatmeal Soap Scrubbies and  1 Scrubbie Mitt.  To Enter: - Visit  Bizzy Fizz Bath Treats  lovely shop and tell me in the comments what you

One of my favorite desserts, a non chocolate dessert that is, is bread pudding. I have loved it since I was a child, it reminds me of home and warmth. I love that it is an understated dessert, sans frills plus it has bread in it.. how could it not be loved? Not to forget your home will smell delectable.  It is also so simple to make. You start with a croissant .  Tear it into medium sized pieces and place in a baking dish. I like to add a handful of chopped walnuts  Then we have our five ingredient fix. 1 cup milk, 1 cup cream (it doesn't have to be heavy), 1 cup of sugar and 2 eggs. The fifth ingredient I leave to you.. a dash of cinnamon or a teaspoon of vanilla. I went with cinnamon. In a pot swirl a few tablespoons of water with the sugar to dissolve. Then cook on medium heat till bubbles and thickens. Whisk occasionally till it starts to caramelize.  In another bowl whisk the milk, eggs, cream and cinnamon. When sugar mixture is ready turn off
