Shots, Shopping, and Showing up

Ok, the last word in the title doesn’t actually make that much sense, but the first two words started with an “sh” and I really felt that the last one should too… Max turned 4 months old today! I didn’t get to do his 4 month picture yet, though, because he had his 4 month [...]

Cupcake Fail

I’ve been in the mood to bake cupcakes for weeks. Well, really, I think it’s more that I’ve wanted to eat cupcakes for weeks and I won’t go out and buy cupcakes – no that would be too indulgent. Somehow it’s better to bake a whole two dozen than it is to buy one. So [...]

Let me tell you about my cookies.

Like, actual cookies that I bake – that’s not a euphemism or anything.  Get your mind out of the gutter.
