I hope your New Year has started out wonderfully! We spent NYE at a friend's party and were out until 1 am(!!!!) I cannot believe all my kids stayed up that late and no one was grumpy or mean, I guess it helps to have 17 children from ages 3-14 to play with to keep everyone in good spirits! ;-) Yesterday we spent hanging out at home, recuperating and relaxing, and I got to … [Read more...]

We thought since we love making (and eating) chocolate fondue so much that maybe they would too! And so … [Read more...]
