“Bear”-y Cute!

It’s taken all year, but it finally was Trey’s turn to provide snacks for our Cub Scout den.  So, being the overachieving den-leader-mother that I am, what snack do I choose to have him make? Rice Krispy Treats?  No.  As stated in an earlier post, I have yet to make those successfully. Chocolate Chip cookies? … Continue reading “Bear”-y Cute!

South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach

We’re getting closer!  It’s down to 1 lb…and then I’m back at rock bottom.  Hopefully THIS will be the week I can get off this plateau and get back on the losing streak!

Now, before you get all impressed and start the… Continue reading An Architectural Masterpiece

Goodness, Gracious, Great Gobbler Goodies!

This weekend is the annual Pack 303 Family Campout at Erwin Park.  We always try to go once the weather is cooler.  I think we achieved that.  With an overnight low predicted to be in the upper 30’s, I’d say it’s cooled down just a bit.  I’m still trying to be excited about sleeping outside… Continue reading Goodness, Gracious, Great Gobbler Goodies!
