I've been thinking of closing the blog but I guess I haven't given up the idea of putting my thoughts out there into the abyss that is the internet. So here I go with an update that I hope to continue to do monthly for those interested (leave some comments so I know if you're interested!). I'm hoping to keep reviewing books and such (less though) and do a monthly or bi-monthly family update (my friend Kaila does a monthly update of her family much more beautifully).

There was a headband making station. This girl's bald head is going to be beautiful!  A pink ombre cake. It was SOOOOO yummy!!! and beautiful! Baby naming game. Not sure...
