a little blueberry pickin'

We spent the day at Nathans family's house. His dad has a blueberry farm. We were just picking away. We pick for hours and we don't even make a dent in the field!
Its a nice weekend adventure we do a few times a month.
Can't wait for next years season.

yo gabba gabba cookies!

a good friend of mine approached me and was telling me how she couldn't find a place to make cookies for her daughters 1st birthday party etc etc. without being outrageously expensive. so to make a long story short, i offered to try to make the cookies for her. (mainly the fact her daughter is my god-child! haha.) oh by the way did i mention i have never made sugar cookies before, let alone decorating them with faces. oops
needless to say they turned out to be a success for my first cookie decorating attempt. the end results featured each cookie in it's own little clear bag tide with a ribbon attached to a small tag sticker that i made featuring some images I found online of yo gabba gabba characters and a line of text : happy 1st birthday isabella
they ended up being a hit at the party as well, made me feel nice and accomplished i might say :) maybe i will try more decorative baking in the future. christmas is just around the corner
