Just a couple weeks ago I found myself watching some old family videos with my mom and husband. We saw lots of choir performances, tumbling classes, basketball games and birthdays. With each birthday there were a few things that we could always count on: a birthday plate being used, a birthday tablecloth on the table, and…
Puzzle Races
As you can tell, we like games over here. And my husband and I especially like puzzles. I’m not sure what it is about them – maybe the fact that it is something to sit and do together while we talk and we can work on it for a several days. Unless my husband decides he…

Caramel Apple Bar
One of the 10,000 things I love about fall is apples. And with apples usually comes caramel apples, right? Today we have an awesome little twist on the normal caramel apple.
