Playing With Rice Krispies for Halloween
One very popular treat all year round is the Rice Krispies bar… a simple but tasty combination of crispy rice cereal, marshmallow, and butter. The sticky, mold-able quality of the cereal and marshmallow mix make it fantastic for creating fun and unique treats...Birth to 3 to Layoffs

Two years ago today Xander was born! It was almost three weeks past his due date. Labor was pretty rough and when he was finally born her had to be rushed to the hospital because he wouldn’t start breathing. Three weeks and a lot of stress later… after...{CI2PI Challenge} Day 42
There are no screenshots to share with you today. My day was filled with making arrangements for my son’s second birthday party that is on Saturday. I did some furniture rearranging, tackled a few cleaning projects, dealt with the laundry, and hung some...{Birthday Preparations} M&M Cakes
Xander turns the big 2 tomorrow. Yep… it’s already here. I can’t believe it either! It still doesn’t seem like he’s been around that long, although there are days when it seems longer. 😛 We are having a small gathering of close family and...{Witty Wednesday} Banana Slicer

I am sick of being in pain. Ever since that fall down the stairs almost two years ago, it seems like it takes very little to have me aching all over again. I never stopped being sore from our walk through the nature preserve. It’s ridiculous. Just pushing a cart...5 Beautiful Drill-Carved Pumpkins

Ross and I have had mixed emotions about some of the pictures we’ve had taken of Xander for his milestone ages. The pictures are okay… and that’s about it. For the price you pay, it would be nice to love your pictures. So we decided to head out with...Ghostly Crafts
