Cupcakes and Commentary

My husband went for not being able to join us on our family vacation at all, to being able to stay the whole week! It was a great surprise and I was so glad that Super A was able to celebrate Father’s Day with his Daddy. They look so alike here! Especially those blue eyes! [...]

I can’t believe we have done five weeks of these! My sister should be back for posts in a week or two, she’s got a birthday to plan for Little J this week!! This week of meals is going to be very out of the box because this past week we were on vacation in [...]
