We had a blast at Chuck E. Cheese’s! Miss Petrie and her friends played really hard, ate pizza and enjoyed a delicious horse cake. This cake was not only tasty, but beautiful as well. I felt a little guilty cutting into something so pretty. She loved the gifts she received from our generous friends. If [...]
I am so thankful to have a life that I love. I had lots of exciting expectations of life when I was a kid, but I don’t think I could have imagined how rich and challenging life would actually turn out. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and enjoy some relaxation with friends and [...]

Miss Petrie’s birthday is coming up very soon and I’ve started working on some of the small details for her party. I bought these photo pins at Hobby Lobby this summer. I cut out some denim-polka dot paper to use as the background for the stamp. I stamped a horse onto white cardstock and punched [...]
