Still kind of house hunting, though we think we’ve settled on one, just waiting to go through the inspection process again. This house is only 13 yrs old so hopefully no big issues, but we were...

Loved your dessert suggestions from last week, the rice crispy cake pops idea was awesome, we’ll have to try that sometime. We went easy with cookies and blondies, the lemon brownies “sold out” first....
