This is what our cart usually looks like when we make a Costco run (LOL)! Most of these groceries were for Amanda’s graduation party! I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying that Costco is the $100 store – as in you can’t get out of there for under $100 (LOL). …

One of my friends was telling me about the chocolate fondue she served at her dd’s birthday party. It sounded like SO MUCH fun that we decided to do this at our dd’s graduation party. Of course, we *had* to give it a try before the party (LOL). We discovered …

After graduation was over, Amanda opened all of her packages and cards. She was SO SURPRISED that we bought her a new laptop. She *really* needed a new one since Josh dropped hers awhile ago and put a dent in it and some other unknown person took a few of …
