Wednesday March 31, 2010We’ve enjoyed a nice weekend with Grandma & Grandpa and I’ll get around to posting the pictures soon. I just wanted to share a little funny anecdote before I forgot.

Thursday November 26, 2009But I do LOVE her site and her creativity. And her gift for making adorably scrumptious treats. I was inspired by her gorgeous cake pops to make some for my daughter’s birthday party, as favors. After all, wouldn’t you be proud to send home something so deliciously cute?
