Saturday Where Did You Go???

Sat where did you go? Man this day just seem to fly by, last night I had my sister's kids for a sleepover a almost 2 year old, 8 year old, 10 year old, plus my own 2 which are 13, almost 8 oh & a husband with a double ear infection. So I will say I was a busy mama.lol. Hockey today for both boys, I had to work & do a couple hair cuts this morning & Jakob had a birthday party to go. But with all the craziness I stayed up late last night to answer your request for some of my recipes. To let you all know I now have a Recipe Page in my Header so you can get to my recipes easier. Hope you all had a great Saturday.

Hugs & Kisses Curly.
