At home, we invested in some pieces of “grown-up” furniture, learned – or invented – a few good new recipes, and welcomed a new tiny human into our family. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Living it up in Fun Central. Published Friday, 23 December, 2011. Today, we made and baked holiday biscotti (biscotti with lemon zest, pistachios, and cranberries) and gingerbread.

It is so cute, Pen’s first crush! Time to go dip my biscotti in melted white chocolate and decorate with green or red course sugar!

The girls and I had fun walking outside in the snowflakes. Pen enjoyed splashing in puddles, until she fell on her hands and knees and was soaked in freezing cold water from head to toe. She was comforted from the trauma by a blanket (after her clothes were changed of course), pop-pop (popcorn), and “Cars”. 8220;Best Dinner Ever” Recipe. Girl in the Rain.
