    With Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought I’d share something we did on New Year’s Eve that was a lot of fun. I think it quite easily lends itself to a fun grown-up Valentine’s activity, as well. My husband found a chocolate and wine pairing box at a local store. The box contained a variety of…

    Last night my son saw a sweet potato on our counter and asked me what it was. I told him it was a sweet potato. He told me that when two regular potatoes are sitting next to each other, almost like they are kissing, then they are sweet potatoes. Hmm. I never knew that!

    I’m sorry my blog has been s-l-o-w lately.  Believe me, it has been frustrating on my end. The good news is that I’ve called in the professionals at Crush Labs and they have been super helpful and really reasonable.

    Lately I’ve received a few emails from a yahoo group I participate in about Christmas card logs. I’ll admit I’m not the best Christmas greeting sender. I still haven’t even designed our card from Christmas 2008… and this won’t be the first year I send Valentines instead of Christmas cards. I keep a rough list…
