new dolly from Nonie....

sometimes nonies just know what a little girl needs..

like a dolly to "eat an egg samwich with"

(see the egg and bread..lol)

 someone to help her with her chores...

 and someone to read to...

XOXO...Thanks Nonie...

totally freaked me out

aunt bonitas birthday kicks off the birthday craziness of May...

have a happy easter weekend

the kids did a great job on the easter eggs this year..and isnt that chic my mom bought them in NY cute :)

nothing like a milkshake and french fries with my little girl to cheer mommy up..

feeling sorry for myself today

what is my problem??

I have a shredded cheese addiction..

I couldn't get my refrigerator cheese/meat drawer closed..
it frustrated me so I started pulling everything out..these were all stuffed in there..and this picture is just of the ones that were EXPIRED and MOLDY!.. I felt too ashamed to post all of them..
every time I go to the grocery store I never remember what I have so I just buy new and then get home and push the old stuff to the back and throw the new stuff in to use for recipes..
My name is Cara and I have a shredded cheese addiction.. I need help..

Hailiegirl pillows

had some fabric laying around...
hailies bed was looking naked..
40% off coupon to Hobbylobby for the pillowforms..

these are truly hailies pillows..

I finished the first one with the white roses and I had a cute idea for the pink pillow until she tells me she was having a tutu pillow in her mind to make..

a tutu pillow it is... LOVE her little mind..
