Road Trip Today and 2011 Ending

As 2011 comes to an end, I can't wait to share with your my favorite posts of 2011, the most popular posts and some that got lost in the shuffle! Today, however, the kids and I are driving 2 hours North to our Best Buddy's House! Our camping cohorts (pic below, my family to your right, Tina and Family on the left)! My friend, Tina is very pregnant with her 3rd boy (has 2 already) and I can't wait to share the day with her. The kids all get along so well and with Christmas just passing we are excited to see what Santa brought them!

Be watching over the weekend for my wrap up post and some goals for 2012, exciting!

Drive safe all if you are out on the roads these next few days!

Blessings

Looking back, it was an amazing road trip. The photography is amazing too. I look for the same in my own road trip this 2012. If you have the time, please visit my blog: thailand villas.

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
