Does Chocolate Cause Acne?

I love chocolates and need I say that my children do too?

We always have chocolates in the house though before we have these in bars, now these come in bite sizes. The intake is also moderated since the kids ( and I ) have these for dessert.

Barbed Wire

Protect(ion) is the theme for Photo Hunter this Saturday.

Below is a photo of barbed wire over grills with a ocher sunset sky backdrop.

I am glad that we included this in our itinerary when we did our family annual Visita Iglesia during Holy Week. When the kids were asked what church made the best impact for them this church won hands down 🙂
