#3. What’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever eaten that had chocolate in it?

Told you I like candy bars!

New design and a special offer for YOU!
By Elizabeth | May 14, 2008
You might not have noticed unless you looked really closely, but the theme has changed from one sidebar to two and the entire theme has been widened. It looks so good! The person I have to thank is Revka from RS Designs, who also created the header graphic and the cool sidebar buttons.
So, do you have a blog that needs a little freshening up? Maybe you’d like a button that readers can copy and place on their own sidebars, or a button to use for Entrecard? Revka not only does great work, she doesn’t charge an arm and a leg either! Place an order of $20 or more and get a SURPRISE addition to your design worth $10 just for mentioning one of the following:
- That you were referred to RS Designs by me, Elizabeth
- That you saw this offer on MomCooks
- Or both! It’s that easy!
