Looks like loads of fun and activity! We are doing gingerbread stuff this week too :) Have a blessed Christmas Melissa!
Hi Melissa,
I just read your story at the Santa Beso (love that blog name, BTW) link. I knew you were a cancer survivor, but did not know any details until now. Thank you for sharing the incredible miracle and blessing you were given at such a young age. It is evident from your blog posts that you are keeping your promise to love and live life to the fullest, never taking life for granted. Thank you for inspiring so many and I will say a prayer that your story for the church youth group will touch others that hear you speak! God bless!

We just read the "Bear" book b/f naps today. Love that book too.

I love how you just keep your kids going and active. It NEVER ceases to amaze me and encourage me. I'm just thrilled that I get to call you a friend in real life.

Your family is so blessed to have you!!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
