I love salads like this! And I think I’d have a hard time sleeping knowing there was a gecko in the room, but then again what could he possibly do to me?! Disney is on my short list of things to do now that Little Dude has the stamina to make it through the whole day. Hopefully we’ll make it in the next year or two!
Oh, I hope that you get to go to Disney soon. You are so deserving of it and I know that little dude is such a great help to his mom. I was okay with the gecko just as long as it didn’t run across my face.:) Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you have the best week ever!
