It’s sad to say goodbye to
January—it’s my favorite month and my birthday month. However, February is such
a fun and unique month too.
Along with being national American
Heart Month, American History Month, Black History Month, Cherry Month, Embroidery
Month, Grapefruit Month, International Friendship Month, Pet Dental Health
Month, Responsible Pet Owner’s Month, Snack Food Month, and Wild Bird Feeding
Month it is also Bake for Family Fun
Month.
Doesn't that sound awesome? There
are so many reasons to bake this month: groundhog day, Candlemas, Chinese New
Year, Bubble Gum Day, Wear Red Day, Valentine’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Fastnacht
Day, Mardi Gras, etc. So grab your mom, step-mom, grandmother, aunt, cousin, best
friend, etc. and hit the kitchen with your favorite recipe (or Pillsbury
refrigerated cookie dough). This is one of my favorite recipes from my Aunt
Lanie—Fudge Krispy Treats—very tasty! Super easy to share and great with a tall
glass of milk or a hot cup of tea.
Yesterday I promised you a
picture of the hair clip that came with Coconut’s Best Friend Outfit. I found
the clip and also found a clue as to why the contents of my outfit are
different from that listed by some sites.
This outfit is from the time
of the blue American Girl Today boxes. Quite different from the Historical Girl
boxes and very pretty; they catch your eye like the black boxes did. (Sorry about the glare.)
Anyway, on the bottom of the
box is the item code, item description, and UPC code. This one reads Coconut T Outfit. Just a slight difference, but
maybe enough to explain why the contents don’t match precisely. Can you see the
watch around the top of the hanger?
This is the hair clip. Isn’t
it cute?!
Works really well too! Quick
and easy up do.
So for future posts I will
try to locate the original box (most are in the box) and give you all the
details. In the beginning, Xyra collapsed the boxes (still keeping them) and
stored my clothes in my arrival box. As my wardrobe grew, Franz convinced her to
keep the outfits in their original boxes. Now Xyra uses Thirty-One Gifts’ Large
Utility Totes to keep everything together.
Isn't that cool?! I’d like
to have a real wardrobe to store things in too, but don’t know where it would
fit.
Book review tomorrow. Until
then have a great day and night!
