I'm a mother of two great kids, Kitty & Matthew. and trying to catch up for the lost time that I didn't make cookies and cakes for the kids ( or even a decent meal for my husband of 15 years Doug) while I in school studying to be a Nurse Practitioner. My 2008 New Years Resolution is to make dinner at least 3 times a week (no more yuckky take out..Be gone McDonalds!) .
