Recipe: Hayley’s Flapjacks
We tried a new pancake recipe tonight and everyone gave it a thumbs up. Jeff declared them ‘moister than normal’ and Hayley just ate them with her hands without butter or syrup she loved them so much. We had a good time making them too. She flipped some herself tonight and was in heaven doing.. read more →

Photo Gallery: Marbles
My next door neighbor Jen and I took the kids to Marbles on Friday since we are all tracked out from school. It was a good time – I think we enjoyed the international section most and really got into the Marrakesh part. We did henna designs on our hands and made ‘plates’ to sell.. read more →
