Katrine’s 7th Gotchaversary

Okay, I am very tired from being home with sick Katrine and Elspeth, and not having enough sleep that I am looking for an excuse to avoid working.

Snow Cakes anyone?
Just in case you are feeling hungry for a frosty, snowy treat with just a hint of salt and a dash of dirt thought that we should pass on their newly released commercial. Gotta support those small business incentives right?
Welcome to the Year of the Dragon! xin nian kuai le

Cute photos
I had a great birthday this year. I usually hate having to bake my own “free of everything” cake but this year was different. With two helpers the work gets done slower but is more fun. Didn’t look half bad and tasted awesome. As you can see, I also had plenty of help blowing out [...] Continue reading
