Mommy Musings

I'm excited to be linking up with some of these fabulous ladies for their Dog Days of Winter today! Today's challenge is Make It!  So this week I decided to make some recipes I found on Pinterest.  I've been trying to expand my recipes lately and Pinterest is a great place to do it. The other night I decided to tackle these two recipes, Olive Garden Alfredo sauce and Mini garlic monkey bread.

How long have you been blogging? I started blogging back in January of 2009.  Emmy was four months old and I was the first of my friends or family to have a kid.  I was feeling lost and was hoping to connect with some new moms, along with documenting my baby's first years!  2. Did you go to college? If so where, and what did you study? I went to a non-public school in Connecticut and absolutely LOVED it.  Some of the best years of my life.  I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and wanted to major in education.  However, in Connecticut you have to major in something else, and have a concentration in education {which is just about as many credits as a major}.  So in theory I kind ...
