I’ve been meaning to make those ribbon rings for AGES – maybe I’ll find some rings so we can do it today!

Dear Valerie,
You are far too skinny for fat Tuesday.
Love,
Mark

I was just starting my search for fun stuff to do today. Okay, so it’s a little late, but with morning sickness and 4 kids to keep up with, I’m lucky I’m at least doing it on Tuesday still.
Great ideas! Thanks!

What a fun time you had. I have never had jambalaya but it sure sounds good!
