We like baked potatoes, but not the tough skin from when cooked in the microwave. I found these Potato Bags. They are GREAT! All you do is wash the potato, put in the bag, and bake.

After a slumber party with a 3 yr old who was wound up after seeing Frozen on Ice, my brain isn’t working too well.  With this said I was looking at photos I had taken  of Missouri and will share with you. Kansas City Union Station.

I love getting ready for Christmas and can’t wait for all the excitement.  I don’t know what you do for Christmas, but ours was getting so “Predictable”.  With that said, I am bringing in some of my childhood get togethers and bring a new twist.  Normally it is dinner, open gifts, and visiting.  This yearContinue reading “Wonderful Time of the Year”
