{November ’08 ~ their first visit} Getting our plan of attack together for tomorrow… Celebrating Popsi’s milestone birthday with Mickey & Minnie! Looking at these pictures from 3 and a half years ago reminds me of how time flies. Make today {and every day} great!
Lately I’ve been at a loss of what meals to prepare…trying to eat healthier, but keep the menu exciting. I also haven’t been spending a lot of time on Pinterest, but remembered that I have oodles of recipes just waiting to be tested. I clicked around and was reminded of two which I made this [...]

They come together so quickly and are very inexpensive, yet have that personal touch. First, pick up some terra-cotta pots {I used 6″}, [...]
