Locks for Love

I've been letting my hair grow and grow...two weeks ago, I decided it was time for a good cut...and by a good cut, I mean 12 inches!  With that big of a cut, I decided to do Lock for Love.  I hope that someone will be able look in the mirror with confidence to face the day and fight cancer...and my hair will be a part of it!

Pinterest Meal

I am in love with Pinterest.  I have tried LOTS of recipes.  Here is Pizza Casserole. It was really, really good!

Homemade Baby Food......

We have ventured into the world of homemade baby food.  I'm still just getting into it, but it is going well so far!  We have made sweet potatoes, bananas, apples, carrotts, and butternut squash.  This weekend I'm taking on rice and chicken!  Here are some pictures of the process.
