Where did summer break go?! It just zoomed us by like a feet of cars in a NASCAR or Formula 1 race, faster than you can say hyundai sonata custom floor mats! Whew! Tomorrow already marks the 10th day of school. We’ve pretty much already gotten into a comfortable groove.  I am back preparing school lunches for my daughter.  Here’s the lunch I put together for the first day of school…

It’s Sweet and Spicy Shrimps with steamed brown rice and fresh cherries.  I always make sure I involve my daughter in planning her school meals.  She’s the one who will be eating them anyway!

It’s going to be a good school year. I already know it!

Cheers, y’all!

PS:  More school lunch photos from last week HERE.

My darling daughter celebrated her birthday a few weeks ago. We surprised her with a Dance and Glitz and Glam-themed birthday party. One of the day’s biggest surprises was THE ride that took her and her gal pals to a surprise location…

This ride needs no handheld gps. Hee hee. The surprise location was a kiddie salon, where the girls had their hair, nails and make-up done. They also got to play dress-up and had a mini fashion show at the end their hour-long make-over. I still feel tingly all over when I think back to that special celebration. Thank you, dear God, for all the blessings!
