350/365: my kamish bread

I think I have it down to a science now! I never quite understood how people had a "specialty" but now I know that this is my specialty because I no longer need the recipe in fact, I have even added and changed things to make it my own! It is quite a fiasco to make it...make dough in advance and chill overnight and then when baking one loaf, I am cutting another loaf and sprinkling with cinnamon and sugar to put back in the oven for a few minutes...it takes time but it is worth it! Thank goodness for my kamish bread

349/365: beautiful holiday homes

I have been admiring this Margate house for the the few weeks that it has been decorated for the holidays. It reminds me a little bit of the house from the movie Home Alone. I love the brick, the front columns, the location on the corner in the parkway section of Ventnor Avenue...and all illumincated for Christmas, it is just exquisite! Thank goodness for beautiful holiday homes

348/365: Magnatile creations


Sam has been loving these Magnatiles since getting them for his birthday and the things he creates are sometimes so amazing that I am shocked he created them by himself! He likes to play with his cars inside and he forms elaborate parking garages, "villages," and different archetectural creations. When it eventually crashes, it is always fun to see what he will make next! Thank goodness for Magnatile creations

345/365: belated birthday gifts

When Aunt Rachel and Uncle Carl came to visit the boys, they brought Luke a birthday gift since they weren't able to come to his party...this bin is sure to come in handy for toys, outgrown clothes or anything requiring storage. Thank goodness for belated birthday gifts

342/365: first time on skates

Sam did great for his first time on roller skates! He was not afraid and loved using to skate mate to help with his balance. And if that didn't work, he simply crawled over to his friends! Thank goodness for Sam's first time on skates
