July 16, 2013 Amanda Plott

It's all about the crock pot for me right now! I'm not supposed to be on my foot any more than I need to be for another full week. And let me just say, I cannot wait to get out of this boot and be able to shower again!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... dry cake mix can be so much fun to play around with!

It's been a really busy few weeks, and the next several to come aren't looking to be any less daunting. Fun. But, exhaustive. I think that must be how we all feel about the summer though, right?...
