all things edible. yes please.

 Today we met our hairdresser, photographer friend {do you like the way we introduce you, Candice?} in Seattle and visited the Gingerbread Village! It was so neat to see the way all these bakers created these amazing gingerbread houses and more! Every single thing on these displays is edible.
To me that was the most amazing part. Because they had to get really creative with some of the things they used. I think there was a large amount of fondant that was used :)

 The Little Mermaid


   Aladdin.



 Beauty and the Beast 



 Brother's Grimm. 



Narnia. 




Alice in Wonderland. 





 The rainbow tower was made with lifesavers. 
It was my favorite. 



 Anyone have a guess what the tops of this house are made of? 
I couldn't figure it out. 



 the outside mall area. 


   Kara had an attitude, hence the back of her head only.

    Came out of Rite Aid around 3:30 and noticed the storm had passed.

The Beast's castle is incredible. The jelly beans?! SO COOL. I agree that the lifesaver tower on the other castle is awesome, too.
It that Alladin, with the bulb tops you are asking about? I think those are probably blown sugar. Which is crazy.

The kids loved looking at all those! Even Doug was amazed and would like to see them in person :).

We're thinking the 'bubbles' on top of aladdin's castle are blown sugar - like blown glass is made from hot, liquid sand?

We liked Narnia and agree the rainbow tower of lifesavers was cool :)

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
