What is platform construction and why is it important? Built Environment Matters podcast with our Head of Global Systems, Jaimie Johnston MBE

Now on to the food!.

You’ve gone above and beyond!And then your daughter says to you “Mom, aren’t we going to at least decorate them?”.

The cookies aren’t enough.You need it now!You don’t have any store bought icing and you really don’t want to go making a big mess of your kitchen again when you thought you were two seconds away from a relaxing cookie break.. Don’t worry.

We’ve got this..Grab a few ziplock/generic brand zipper style bags.. You’re going to have delicious icing in a just a few seconds and no mess.

Wasn’t that easy?.

You can either make a whole lot of icing, or just a tiny bit for a few little dots and lines, whatever works for you.. You’ll need ziplock bags, large or small, (I find if you’re going to be really intense about the squishing, the name brand ones do tend to hold up better, but dollar store bags work in a pinch too), icing sugar, butter, vanilla, and food coloring.. No matter what amount of icing you decide to make, you’ll need about 1 part butter to 4 parts icing sugar, a splash of vanilla and a few drops of food coloring.You can always come back at a later time and re-test, but there’s no sense in beating a dead horse just because it works for someone else and you wish it worked for you in the same way.

If I try out a new social media and it doesn’t start driving traffic or getting me some kind of results that are useful to my business, I just let it go..I don’t over-complicate things.

If you’ve been a reader of my blog for some time  now, you may have noticed that I like to keep things pretty simple most of the time.I get to the point when it comes to writing my posts and I don’t fuss too much with my blog design or the way my pictures look in my posts.
