After six years of blogging, I finally created an Amazing Gracie Facebook page. Better late than never, I suppose! Please like and follow the Amazing Gracie page. Thanks!
Birthday Girl
Gracie turned 6 a few days ago. We celebrated at home with her favorite dinner—steak, cheesy fiesta potatoes (my homemade version of her favorite Taco Bell delicacy), and strawberries—and enjoyed watching Gracie’s glee as she opened her presents. She didn’t get … Continue reading

Dreaming
