Ramblings of a Stay-at-Home Mom

Has it been a year since I started this project? Geez. Unfortunately, I kind of forgot about this project after Zach was born, due to taking time to heal up, and when I looked at the calendar, I realized that I hadn't looked at my list in almost 6 months!

Dominique pretending to fix Zach's high-chair Dominique "helping" Daddy clear all the fresh snow off the driveway. Violet enjoying Daddy's homemade cheesecake. Think Dominique likes it too. My treat when I got back home from the gym one evening. It had been a rough day all around and Keith knew that I needed something to cheer me up. His cheesecake does the trick!
