My favorite store...

Most of you know I love the bookstore! I go there when I need to get out of the house and enjoy wandering around. I have found another reason to love them. They have these fun 'parties' for different books. I took niece #2 to a Fancy Nancy party a couple weeks ago. She dressed up like Fancy Nancy and we had a BLAST! at the party. Then this week nephew #1 and I went to a party for the new Rick Riordan book "The Red Pyramid." Much fun was had! I think I like the parties as much as I like the coupons (I'm pretty sure I haven't paid full price for a book in quite a while! Don't tell!) If you have a Borders near you - check out the storytime and parties!

Fun treat

Last night we had bookclub at my house. I made a yummy apple dip!

1 block cream cheese - softened
1 cup brown sugar (i usually add 3/4 of a cup instead)
1 cup toffee bits
dash of vanilla

Mix cream cheese and brown sugar together. Fold in toffee bits.

My roommate told me a new way to keep your cut apples from going brown. Instead of dipping in lemon juice - you can dip them in Sprite (or any other lemon-lime soda). I think they taste better than the lemon juice ones!
