February Marks 1 Year Blogging + Favorite Recipes

by 14 Comments

February marks a year of blogging for me!

I’m geeked that I’m actually getting a few visitors and comments now

Thanks to all of you who have commented….it really can just put a pep in my step throughout the daily grind, of parenting, cleaning, cooking, laundry and all the in between things that I have on what seems like an endless to-do list, to hear an adult voice is great, even if I have to just imagine it while reading your comments! :)…

My camera came with a bunch of videos and manuals, and when I first got it I went through and watched most of the videos, I learned a lot….but now it seems I’ve forgotten a lot.

Now let’s talk about these pics of my (not so tasty looking)tasty dishes….
