Whine over , I wanted to show this totally gorgeous caddy , I have wanted one since I saw one on Pottery Barn , but it was pricey at over $79.00 , yikes, then I found one at Michael's craft store for $50.00 and with my 40% off coupon a steal, but they never have them in stock, so I gave up , but found this one at Winner like TJMaxx for $29.00 , and even nicer than the Michael's one , I love it , the perfect organizational item.
Mason has been stealing my camera , I found all these self portraits of her , many are too fuzzy , I will have to explain the settings to her. Pretty girl , growing up so fast , too soon.
Look who is cooking , roasting actually , my new range is sublime, the settings are so clever, the convection cooks everything so much quicker, I love it , like these veggies 1 hour and 12 minutes , would have taken over two hours with my old oven .
This is my first batch of baked goods , with convection as well, these are for a bake sale to raise money for a class trips bus costs.
I needed to try baking in my new oven before baking my mother's wedding cake on Friday , everything is a go.
