Cross-posted at N of Two. Although the babies’ first trip to a chocolate shop occurred at 24 weeks old, it was not their first encounter with chocolate. That happened when they were 2 weeks old, in t...
Destination: Corn Muffins 12 Sep 2009 | 03:39 pm
Once again, sorry for the egregious lag in posts. Since I’m currently in the midst of a month-long (give or take) hospital stay, I have more time to blog. I realize they are not chocolate, but these ...

Festival of Treats 9: Peanut Butter Balls 10 Jan 2009 | 06:01 am
