Valentine Subway Art

Valentine Subway Art:
I found this one HERE it's super cute if you have time to do it, but if not I thought of another way to do it that would be just as cute...
Just use scrapbook paper and add the vinyl letters then frame it with the glass. I'd prob. add a coat of mod podge too. wahla. I'll have to test it out:)

Recipes, ideas,update etc.

So I made some pretty brilliant discoveries and ideas lately.

One being fruit ice cubes. Blend Orange Juice, Banana's, and a bag of frozen mixed berries (usually they have strawberries, blackberries and raspberries in them). It's good fresh, but also very yummy frozen in an ice cube tray (good for putting in alli's little food contraption. You can put like oranges, ice cubes, etc. in it and it has a little mesh type thing so that they can bite and suck the juices out but can't choke on the actual object. Messy but brilliant). Alli loves them and they don't have any added sugar, etc. I put the fruit cubes in some lemonade and oh boy was it YUMMY! Think raspberry lemonade only better! If that's possible. Would be good as a punch at a party.

Christmas:)

So we had a very good Christmas. I posted a bunch of pictures on facebook already, but I figured I needed to update my blog:) So, I will start from the beginning and work my way to the present day. It's now Jan 8th, 2011 so as you can imagine I have a bit to blog about!
Okay!
So, Christmas Eve we got PJ's from mom (all matching and everything with little monkey's). Even the kids had all matching PJ's. Here are a few pictures from that:




I'm doing this a little at a time so bare with me.
