#1 daughter and the little girls came over for Hallowe’en. I followed instructions from Maegan Brown to make cure and fun food. We also had cupcakes with extreme sprinkles and cute toppers. The girls dressed up in Belle costumes. They […]
It’s the last day of Pantry Week, and I got my wayward pantry in somewhat better order. I took everything out (except for the top shelf) and consolidated things, tossed old things, and reorganized for optimum usefulness. I was reminded […]
