Freebie Friday: $10 gift card for Build-a-Bear Workshop

One Christmas season, several years ago, my stepdaughter took Tootie to the Build-a-Bear at Park Plaza Mall. Tootie created an adorable reindeer with sparkly red shoes. It’s still one of her more cherished stuffed animals.

Today, I’m giving away a $10 gift card for Build-a-Bear.

To enter, leave a comment below describing your children’s beloved “lovies.”

I’ll announce a winner next Wednesday. Good luck!

In anticipation of Cinco de Mayo parties…

I made these cute, little bite-sized tacos awhile back for a Boy Scout event, and will be making them again tomorrow for a party. They’re super-easy! Make lots — they go fast. Note: I advise setting out the condiments and letting people choose their toppings. I, for example, like mine with a jalapeno!

Cute AND tasty!
