Last night, I was a bad mom. You see, I left Kailee in our room, because I had to go into theirs to get her a fresh shirt and pajamas.  She was playing with water in our bathroom as was all wet - since she was getting sleepy, I had to change her and get her ready for bed. And so I left her in our room - alone.  I walked quickly to their room and got what I needed.  When I got out of their room, I could hear Kailee saying 'Mama!' and knocking on the door (from the inside).  Her voice was actually excited!  She kept on repeating 'Mama!' until I got to the door. When I turned the door knob, I found it weird that the door didn't open.  I turned the knob again, and pushed the door.  It still didn't open!  I tried it two more times and then I realized - that Kailee must have turned the knob of our double door lock (since it was located within her reach - near the bottom of the door, I remember her playing with it many times when she was younger) - my mind was sh

80P I just found the BEST brownies EVER!  A few weeks ago, a friend brought a batch to dinner – and it was love at first bite.  The texture was just perfect and the taste was equally wonderful!  I ate one, and then another and then another – at the end of the night, I ordered a batch. I am very particular with a brownie’s texture.  I like it when my teeth slides smoothly into the brownie when I bite into it, weird but that's how I gauge a brownie's texture!  The taste is wonderful, the sweetness is just right – I especially like the hint of saltiness when I bite into the brownie.  The brownie is rich but the chocolate-yness doesn’t overpower the tastebuds.  You can eat it right from the fridge, unlike other brownies that become tough when you put them in the fridge!  Oh, and I almost forgot - they smell soooo good too!! For those who know me, I'm picky when it comes to chocolates, as I only learned to appreciate it two years ago (when I was pregnant and sud
