Chris' subscription to Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion has come to an end. I AM SO BUMMED OUT. I so looked forward to each and every issue of that magazine. And to you, "R. Fontaine" (if that's even your real name) while you may be 'delighted' to send me more Martha, all I really want is more Mary. Boo. The only thing that's bringing me the least bit of comfort are these:

 Gah. How about this guy:

All made by the wonderful Naomi, She has such a great flickr account. Check out her cakes, cupcakes & cookies.

Reminds me of a new look that this blog is gonna get in the next few days. You just wait. You are going to love it.

The sickness that has been ailing the family this week has finally come to and end and Chris is back in town. Hooray! We've got valentine meringues happening this weekend so we'll share those Monday.

Happy weekend!

    The other day Helen was complaining that Daddy had to work so long. I told her that we just have to be glad that he has a job. Then she said Mom something is really wrong with the economy, somebody needs to fix it. It really is sad that so many good companies and stuff are closing. We know so many people out of work, it’s getting scary!

    are you going to write back? that’s no fun at all. I sent in a letter saying we wanted them to set up a real simple family as a monthly and were declined as well.
    boo to them for sure!
    hope everyone’s feeling better.

    Well, just think of me…….Mary is no longer coming to my house either and my other favorite magazine ended at the same time, Cottage Living. I am really tired of hearing “It’s the economy”…..give me one more excuse please! What a sad month it has been!
