Living Simply

I love to make things. (Could you tell?) While recently chilling pool-side with some friends, the kiddos were snacking on goldfish crackers. Which reminded me that I had bookmarked this recipe and I decided it would probably be cheaper and healthier.

My take:
The cheese puffs only have a few ingredients, which makes them really great. I used colby-jack cheese, and they came out really yummy. Two of my siblings and I ate half a pan when they came out of the oven. =] The hubs loved them too. Ziva took one bite and threw hers on the floor - but maybe she'll like them next time. ;] I think I added too much water, and may have rolled them out a little too thick because I was hoping they'd be crispier. Next time I'm going to try making them with some whole wheat flour which should help to dry them out a bit. =]

And because I feel bad about neglecting my blog...





9 Months (Really late.)

In the midst of our move to a new place, and saying goodbye to a beloved Aunt, Ziva turned 9 months. So as a result I took some kind of lame photos and neglected to update my blog for a few weeks.

When we received the news about Aunt Nancy, Ben was busy putting together Ziva's crib, and Ziva (who was "helping" him) was a our sweet ray of sunshine on an extremely cloudy day. This resulted in some candid 9 month photos, that turned out to be a blurry mess probably due to me crying behind the camera and not really thinking about the fact that these would, indeed, be her 9 month photos. So here we go!
