I got the following recipe from my grandma Una Sutter and besides this coffee cake recipe being super easy, it’s also super yummy!

Grandma’s Coffee Cake

• 4 TBsp margarine (or butter)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1 c. flour
• 1/2 c. sugar
• 3 tsp. baking powder

Mix ingredients. Pour half of batter in 8′ round or square greased pan. Sprinkle mixture of cinnamon and sugar between half of batter and on top after adding other half of batter. Bake 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

Tip: If second half of batter doesn’t spread easily over top layer, simply take a knife and swirl together.

Variation: I usually double the recipe (because it’s that good) and bake in a 9×13 pan, which requires extra baking time.

Grandma Betty with my daughter, Tatym, on her confirmation day.

We recently moved my grandma into a nursing home, and I brought home a box of old photos from cleaning out her house. My kids have been enjoying looking at the “antique” photographs, especially ones that my grandfather took during World War II. My daughter, Macy, even posted this photo to her Facebook page:

Pierce Main Street back in the day. It’s amazing what you find when your cleaning out your 88-year-old great grandma’s house.

The photographs have sparked the kids’ curiosity about our ancestry, so I have been playing around on Ancestry.com where I have been able to build our own family trees that go back for centuries! If you’ve ever watched Who Do You Think You Are? on NBC, the celebrities use  Ancestry.com which is the world’s largest online resource for family history documents, including census and military records. And right now, you can get a 14-Day Free Trial to Ancestry.com so you too can explore your own family tree risk free!

Need a Great Mother’s Day Gift Idea? Give the Gift of Family with a Gift Membership from Ancestry.com!

I haven’t discovered (yet anyway) that I’m related to anyone famous, but my friend Tricia discovered that she’s a descendant of two famous pirate women! Please comment if you joined Ancestry.com and found anything interesting to share!

I’m still a Dell girl when it comes to my PC for working, but I have to admit that I really love my 1st gen iPad for playing – anyone else suckered in by Draw Something*? I would really, really like to upgrade to the iPad 2 or even the iPad 3, so I researched and found five deals to buy an iPad 2 or iPad 3 now and pay for it later with deferred billing offers if you’re contemplating getting one as well but need to make payments.

1. Fingerhut - iPad 2 16GB Wifi in White or Black, $599.99 = $46.99 per month

2. QVC.com -spread out 5 easy payments at no extra charge when you order using any major credit card. Several iPad choices including:

• iPad 2, $709.95 = 5 installments of $141.99
• iPad 2 Bundle $799.98 = 5 installments of $159.99
• iPad 3 Bundle, $899.96 = 5 installments of $179.99

3. Home Shopping Network – iPad 3 16Gb Bundle Package $899.95 = 4 flex payments of $224.98

4. Bill Me Later – lets you pay without using a credit card and no payments are due for 90 days! The following stores carry iPads AND participate with BillMeLater (lowest prices shown) – simply provide your birthday and the last four digits of your social security number at checkout, accept the purchase terms and owning a new iPad sooner than later is reality!

• Adorama
• Apple
• B&H Photo Video
• Comp USA
• eBay – Enjoy 6 months to pay on all April eBay purchases with Bill Me Later!
• Mac Connection
• Tiger Direct

5. Gettington – They do not sell iPads, but they sell a lot of similar items, such as the Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet ($199), Coby Kyros ($100), Blackberry PlayBook ($329), Sony Tablet ($399), ASUS Transformer ($399) where you choose to make four or 24 monthly payments. Application takes under a minute.
