About Me

My photo
I would say that I am curious, vivacious, gregarious, sometimes funny, intelligent, easy going, very passionate about the things I love, caring, thoughtful, and kind. Maybe that is a little over the top, but I think you can count on me to be very honest. LOL

Raspberry Cheesecake Parfaits

After a morning of Backyard Waterslide Splashing…we needed something to snack on.

Raspberry Cheesecake Parfaits were fun to make and even yummier to eat! 

As you can see I am not the perfect parfait maker…nor are my photography skills and presentation above average by any means!
