For my birthday, my husband got me a KitchenAid Mixer. This is something I have wanted for a really, really long time. I didn’t register for it because it was so expensive. Instead, I registered for a cheaper mixer that quite wasn’t doing the job in the mixing department. When I saw that Costco had [...] [...more]

Where did the time go? It seems like Christmas was ages ago but it was really only two weeks ago. As you may recall, Lil B woke up with croup the day before Christmas Eve. He laid around for two days and wasn’t too interested in opening his presents so his dad helped him. I [...] [...more]
