Dear Caris, The day finally came! March 11th, the long awaited birthday. We celebrated with a cat themed birthday party(complete with watching the Aristocats that night), strawberry cake and having some of mommy's side of the family over for lunch after church. At five you are beautiful, smart and sensitive. You love to talk! You also love to follow (and enforce) the rules. You enjoy swinging and playing outside, sometimes in your own little world. New interests include throwing the frisbee with us and playing dodge ball with daddy. That game makes you laugh and laugh. We have dabbled in having you read aloud and you're catching on quickly. The book we read the most is Go Dog Go. You also explain numbers/addition/problem solving to us and I know you'll pass me in math in a few short years. You are a wonderful big sister and right now, having you hold baby Audrey in the tub while I wash her has been so helpful! We love to see you learn and grow through your Wednesday

This is an ideal soup because you will likely have cream left over and being the wise, financially aware, WASTE NOT WANT NOT! person that you are, you will want to use the remaining cream so the best place for it is your coffee cup. Bonus points:: They're slow cooker recipes! Sausage, Kale & Tortellini Soup Maggie is a mama to 3 (almost 4!) who is all about fun painted nails, being debt free Dave's way and creativity. She lives in Michigan but I like to think that we'd be friends in real life if miles weren't a thing. White Chicken Chili  Via DesignMom via Julie G . I made this last night to rave reviews (although it does have some kick to it. One daughter gobbled it up while one kept saying it was spicy) I omitted the onion
