New Member of the Family


My husband and I decided to spend the afternoon on Valentine’s Day getting our first pet. At the pet store, we picked out a beautiful betta fish and a nice plant and some gravel for him. He’s red and turquoise, one of my favorite color combinations right now. He really shines in the sunlight. We decided to play off the alphabet theme in naming him.
Introducing Romeo the Delta Betta!



Romeo lives on top of the TV armoire. He’s very lively for a betta, and we think he’s happy!

We love him.

Polar Bear Cookies



A new blog calls for…cookies! I baked a batch of sugar cookies shaped like polar bears and sprinkled with white sugar. Aren’t they adorable?!


I received this cute polar bear cookie cutter along with my membership to the Alaska Wilderness League for Christmas (thanks Grammie and Granddad!).
