Munchkin’s 11th Birthday Party

Posted in Family, Holidays, and Homemaking

Munchkin hasn’t had a big birthday party for herself since she was in kindergarten, so we decided this was a good year to have a big party.  Munchkin has been blessed with great friends at this location, so we wanted to take advantage of that before people start moving away. Let me introduce you to Sahara, Munchkin’s birthday camel.  Instead of a traditional card from Mommy and Daddy, we gave this to Munchkin.  She received her birthday camel as well as her other presents from family prior to us heading to church on Sunday morning. We tried to do most…

Dr. Lucy’s Gluten Free Cookies Review

Posted in Gluten Free, and Reviews

We were given the opportunity to try the four varieties of Dr. Lucy’s cookies: chocolate chip, cinnamon thin, sugar, and oatmeal. Munchkin’s favorite cookies are the chocolate chip cookies.  They are crisp, delicious cookies that are not too sweet.  Her second favorite cookies are the oatmeal cookies.  While…

Birthday Girl: Munchkin as Molly

Posted in Homemaking

Munchkin’s birthday party was an American Girl Molly Mystery party.  She decided that she wanted her Molly costume to be Molly as Miss. Victory.  Munchkin’s pink birthday skirt was the trial run for this costume.  We had purchased a pattern for a skirt, but once I got it home, I realized it was way too complicated for the time that I had.  I decided to just design my own.  This was the end result….

Time to get caught up…

Posted in Family

This week will be a week of catch up on my blog.  I have several reviews that need to be posted.  I need to post more Grand Canyon pictures.  Munchkin’s birthday pictures will go up.  I have a winner to announce.  I need to try to make it around to several blogs this week as I’m very far behind on my reading.  I need to respond to comments…  You get the idea.  We’ve had so much fun the last two weeks with the Grand Canyon and then all of the party preparations, but it kept us very busy (fun busy). …
