As I started to think about how to pen this post, I found myself wishing that I was at home listening to Munchkin play with her friend. I would have loved to be relaxing in a comfy chair, sipping on some cold lemonade, and reading my new magazine.

Project 365 – #111 Since we’re going to be home on a regular basis for the spring/summer this year, Munchkin and I decided that we would go ahead and plant a garden.

Project 365 – #108 With each birthday, my baby girl gets closer and closer to becoming a teenager. One more year and she’ll be at that magical age. For now, we’ll just enjoy spending each day with our precious little girl who is nearly as tall as me. lol! (Goofy girl didn’t want to smile for the picture. Right after I took the picture, she started laughing…) On Saturday, we headed over to Phoenix for the Gluten Free Expo, so we decided to take advantage of being near some gluten-free restaurants and celebrated Munchkin’s birthday with some yummy gluten-free pizza…
