American Girl Tea Party Birthday
After begging for an American Girl doll the past three years, my daughter's greatest desire was granted her last birthday with the gift of a green-eyed, curly blonde haired mini-me.

Genius Golden Grahams Smore Bars
A couple housekeeping items before we get to the deliciousness here. Notice the new watermark gracing the corners of my photos? Isn't it lovely?

Robbed, Impersonated and Pissed Off
