Rats....they're back

This feels like déjà vu. Almost one year ago we had the same problem. This time we just can't figure out where they are coming in from. We have been having issues in the garage and the back yard with both mice and rats, but none inside till now. Luckily we caught them day one, so there isn't much damage... yet.

I am including these for our personal history. Feel free to not look at them, it's gross.

There are lots more, but you get the picture...

Anyways, I was really upset at first but now am more calm. We got rid of them last time, so it should work again. My question for you all is, have you ever had rats or mice in your rental homes and would you continue to live there is it was a repeat problem? What does it take for you to say, "that's it we are outta here?"

Mammoth 2012

Going to Mammoth is like going home. I spent my younger years vacationing there every summer. I have so many memories of playing in the creek, hiking around Horseshoe, fishing camping that sometimes they all blend together. The last two times we have gone I have been able to take Ella. It fills me with joy to see her experience these same things. I love the outdoors and the mountains and love sharing that with Ella. Charles unfortunately has had to work every time we go. Next year though, he will hopefully be there too!

Ella was so sad to leave. I am guessing she is going to ask me everyday if we can go back. :)

New Cookbook!

This delicious book comes out September first. My friend Elizabeth wrote it and I cant wait to try all of the recipes tucked inside. The best part is that you can buy it before the Fall and Christmas holidays. Now you can amaze all with your candy making skills!

You can check out her personal website here.

She has some great music. I also really like the "Lord of The Rings" song. Check it out.
