1 thing I want to remember about today
I enjoyed watching my girl's be with family. It's been a long time since I'd seen them be so free spirited and just relax and have fun. Something I need to do more often.
How about you? What did you do today?

It sounds like your having such a good time on your trip. I love the way that you numbered things. I'm going to have to remember to give that a try. Cookie dough sounds yummy to me!
Cute post, Michelle. I love chocolate chip cookie dough, too. Whenever I make cookies I always double the batch and keep some dough in the freezer. There have been a few times that I think we have just eaten the dough from the freezer before they ever get made into cookies. Mmmm. Sounds like you are having a great vacation!
What a great post.
Cookie dough is very yummy!!!!
Fun post. I would have to say Diet Coke counts as a food for me. I NEED it everyday. :)
It's Monday night here, and Sunday's already a blur for me! I just remember our vicar's sermon talking about guilt and him asking us if we carry around a classic piece of old guilt with us, to which he hypothetically replied: 'Oh yes! I take it out every Sunday and polish it!'
It made me chortle!
Cute idea for a post. I too think about starting my own non-profit but for now it's enough to volunteer for one.
What a list!
Thank you so much for your sweet card. It made my day today!!
And my first international good mail.:)
