I have been so busy over the past few days that I haven’t had a chance to update our blog! My sister got married and I was the matron-of-honor. What a whirlwind it was complete with a rehearsal dinner at a quaint bistro, a wedding in a church that dates back to the 1800’s and a 1940’s style wedding and reception.
You should have seen me trying to get the wrinkles out of her veil! What a hoot!
Enough about me
Time to keep you updated on a few things…
The book is coming along nicely. I’ve had quite a few of you ask when it will be available and even though we could crank it out very quickly, I don’t want to disappoint you all. There are far too many e-books out there that seem to be thrown together at a moment’s notice and don’t give you what you really need so we’re taking our time and doing it for you the right way!
We continue to add more updates to our website and were very, VERY pleased to see that on the most recent Google update we went from a Page Rank of 0 to a Page Rank of 5! Since we’re brand spanking new this is absolutely wonderful!
Our blog was also blessed with a Page Rank of 6 for the first time out of the gates. It’s nice to see our work paying off.
With the upcoming Halloween season approaching, we thought we’d give you some recipes you could use with your kids. We also have a free book for you that has some more recipes and fun party games for you and your children as well. We’ll get that out to our newsletter list ASAP. So if you haven’t yet signed up for our newsletter, please do so now! 
Without further ado, here are a couple of recipes you can use now:
