Our bake sale was a success! Our humble bake sale raised $87.75 in 3 hours! Many thanks to all who stopped by and supported the cause:  Share Our Strength’s Great American Bake Sale .

Special thanks to a great customer, Mayra, and her daughter for baking some extra goodies and volunteering their Saturday to help out during the entire bake sale.  It was extremely hot out there today; nevertheless, we had a good time and it was well worth it.

My little one made this sign…

Something New for My Blog: My Day

From time to time I will be posting “My Day” at the end of posts–quite simply a rundown of my day for those who have asked and wonder how I manage as wife, mother, educator, bookseller, shop owner, domestic diva, sewing enthusiast, and more.  I must admit that when I take stock of my days…I even wonder how it all gets done.  From here on out on my blog, I plan to share ideas, tricks, tips, and things I do to manage my wonderful but crazy-at-times life.
