I took the opportunity to do some shopping, and later when we were driving to our next destination, my husband said that Sophie's new friend asked for her phone number. Suddenly, I thought of "calling cards" for toddlers and kids. I started laughing: "Oh, you should make Sophie a card with her picture on it and phone number." We had fun thinking of what her title could be, and came up with "Play Artist," since play is really a kind of art :)
We stopped at the library before going home, and by the time we got home there was already a message on the phone from Sophie's new friend. Cute!!

My husband brought those flowers home to me last night. They are, to say the least, extremely beautiful. That particular hue of pink is really quite amazing. I am thoroughly enjoying them.
Because, clearly, my daughter didn't do it. She loves to clean and help.
If you do your research, you will find that most people agree that new year's resolutions fail because the person has set their expectations too high or have made too many resolutions at once. I have a different take on this and a solution to the dreaded new year's resolutions.

I was enlisted to make 24 cupcakes and one birthday cake for the daughter of my mom's friend. Besides being gluten-free, the desserts also needed to be egg free and dairy free. As I was making them, Sophie wanted to help. My mom quickly grabbed some ingredients and got to work with Sophie to create something that she could eat too. It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good either.
Her favorite thing was to "organize" them by taking them in and out of the cupcake pan and putting them into a dish and then back again to the cupcake pan!
Here are the cupcakes and cake that I made:
