Our little sweetheart Autumn calls every American flag she sees, “pledge yous”. She can pick them out anywhere! On people’s shirts, a sticker on our fridge and all down main street on Memorial Day – she loves the flag. Autumn is 20 months old now and can say most of the Pledge of Allegiance. We […]

It was just the push I needed to bake this evening. 🙂 I had a wonderful time baking and singing along with Michael Buble.
