Babies, blondies, and Puppies...Oh my!

After a hectic week at work, I was glad to have the weekend off. I spent Saturday doing chores around the house and just hanging out.

But on Sunday I went to my friend Rachel's baby shower, which was really fun. Instead of the usual baby shower food fare of tiny sandwiches and salads, they had carne asada tacos which were really good. You can't tell in the picture, but she's 7 months along and due in December. I could feel her baby kicking when we took the picture.

Before I went to the baby shower, I decided to bake some Reece's Peanut Butter Cup blondies. I saw the recipe on Yumsugar a few days ago and knew I had to make it. Never making blondies before, I wasn't sure how it was going to come out or even taste.

But I have to say, they were really good. Especially with a cold glass of milk. :-) I put the whole batch in a plastic container before I left, and when I came home only three pieces were left. Definitely going to keep this recipe.

Also last week we got a new pup. Her name is Carrie and she's an Australian Shepherd. She's too cute and she likes to run around and play a lot.

How can you not resist that cute face!?
