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..
