Celebrating Daddy’s Birthday

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #010 Munchkin is still sick, so Daddy’s birthday wasn’t very exciting.  We still had a nice day together, and I surprised D with some gluten free peanut butter cup cupcakes.  I made some chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter butter cream frosting.  For fun, I added a peanut butter cup on top and a few candies.  We were all on a little sugar high after eating the cupcakes, but they were delicious.  We watched a movie together, and then D and Munchkin had fun making paper airplanes.  It was not the birthday that we had originally planned, but…

Looking Back at 2010

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Musings of a Housewife is once again hosting a blog recap carnival.  It’s a fun way to look back at what was going on with your blog on the first day (or first post) of the month in 2010.  You just put down the first sentence of the post.  I had so much fun doing this in 2009 that I decided to do it again.  Once again, I chose to skip review and announcement posts if those were the first posts up for the month.  I also added a picture from the post.  If that post didn’t have a picture,…
