Almost every Dad I know enjoys relaxing in front of the TV and what could be better for him than his own special treat of a caddy filled with snacks, a drink cup, movie with some room left for remote controls?

Chocolate Cake Hug In A Mug +Free Printable Tag {Gift Idea}

Pin It Now!
I think that this is one of the cutest gift ideas ever....Chocolate Cake Hug In A Mug. It's a homemade single serving cake recipe that is cooked in a mug in the microwave.  It's super easy to make and  results in a tasty, fudgey chocolate cake. And to take it one step further, I created an adorable tag that can be printed and attached to each gift. This is perfect for any little thank you gift, teacher's gift or a party favor. {It just so happens that I found the adorable cake mug at Dollarama for $2}

The Journey To Motherhood

And although it was easy for me, I know that the journey to Motherhood is not so easy for others, as they must rely on medical science for help in creating the family that they so desperately wish to have.
