This year Parker is going to be an airplane for Halloween… Well let’s hope he is an airplane because he refuses to let us put the costume on him. It was sold out in his size online, so I called all the PBKs and apparently landed the last airplane costume…

IN THE COUNTRY.

So please keep your fingers crossed with me that he wears his sweet, little airplane costume?!

Yogurt is such a tasty alternative to using cream in sauces AND it packs more protein and calcium for the win.

    Such a great combo of ingredients, Kristina! My mouth is watering right now! Is it possible to use honey instead of maple syrup?
