Something new for 2014

I have recently begun decorating cookies for holiday fun, and I have decided to continue for a while and randomly give them away. I plan on adding it to my repertoire of Acts of Kindness....Something new for 2014.

Homemade Love

I made a huge batch of cupcakes and brownies for my daughter and her roommates

Butterflies in the Garden

There were so many butterflies in my yard today, mostly monarchs, it must be time for them to start migrating. I hope the wildflowers in my yard helps nourish them for their journey.

My dogs bring me such joy and happiness.
