You may have noticed a whole lot of junk food we normally do not buy. Michael looked at me funny when I was putting things in the cart. He lovingly looked at me and said- "We don't eat these things anymore. Why are you putting them in the shopping cart." This Sunday, we are driving into Maryland to my mom's side family reunion. We are bringing Pasta Salad, Pink Suprise and very cool looking cupcakes- hence the need for all the junk food. I will post pictures of all these neat creations with the recipes later in the week:)
This shopping trip has been added to our September Monthly Spending post, where I keep track of what we spend for the month of September.
