trying out new low calorie options for breakfast. Right now I'm LOVING rye toast with one egg, one slice of cheese, tomato, capers and a touch of mayo. So good!!

Day 219. August 7, 2011

Buying a backpack in her cheer color: $30. Buying paint and "diamonds" to sass it up: $10. Letting her creative side shine... Priceless ;)
