Project Toddler Runway – Finale and Recap

Voting is on the finale at Project Toddler Runway is over, and the winner is….

“Trucky” Boy Apron

I received a special request for a “trucky” apron for my friend’s three-year old who likes to help out in the kitchen.  This was a good kick in the pants to get me back at the machine; I’ve been seriously un-motivated as of late.  Just tired, tired, tired!!

Not only is today Valentine’s Day – it is the 6th anniversary of our First Date!  Sort of an accidental Valentine’s date; I was dating somebody else but knew it wasn’t headed anywhere and accepted Dave’s invitation for coffee.  Coffee led to dinner, and dinner led to drinks.  I broke up with the other guy {…Continue Reading}
