Bye Bye Kittens


I am proud to say we successfully fostered 2 kittens. By successfully I mean we didn't kill the kittens, mame them in any way or keep them. All of the above would be considered a failure. The kittens left our home fat, happy and ready to make someone a wonderful pet. Pixi and Payton were our first attempt at fostering and it was such a blast. The girls loved having them and the kittens loved (or tolerated well) our girls. I would often find Eliana reading or watching television with a kitten asleep in her arms.


This was an educational experience for all. The girls had to learn that kittens are not for curling despite how well the little balls of fur slide across the hard wood floors and that you may not throw them on the couch even though it is fun to watch them bounce. Addilyn had to be reminded that tails and handles are not one in the same and that no one really likes to be picked up by the head. The kittens had to learn that it is a bad idea to play in the dishwasher or the freezer and that it isn't ok to sit on the babies head when she is trying to nurse. I learned that cheap cat litter is worthless. Matt learned that he actually likes cats...when they are kittens and he doesn't have to keep them.


So, despite all the nay-sayers who said we would end up the proud owners of these cats, we did not. The will be missed, but not for long, as we will be getting 3 more kittens on Saturday.

Working on my Domestic Goddess Badge

I looked at the to-do list I made last week and am happy to say I can cross off almost everything on it. It only took me 2 weeks. I think I either need smaller lists or more time. Here is what I have been up to: -I have made 2 loaves of banana oat bread, 1 batch of blackberry strawberry freezer jam, 1 loaf of gluten free bread. -From 12 juiced grapefruit I made grapefruit curd and a pan of grapefruit bars. -My garden is almost completely done, including a upgrade in size. I am growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, potatoes , cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , herbs, lettuce, spinach , green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, and kohlrabi. -I hung herbs to dry -I have folded massive amounts of laundry...with more yet to do. All washed with my homemade laundry soap. -I recovered the "green monster" which is another post entirely. -I added a sitting area in my bedroom, where I am currently sitting, so that my laptop has a home other than the kitchen table. - I got a new dining room table a...

Sugar Free and Me

Not so long ago, I went to the Doctor. It had been a while. The last time I had seen a doctor I was having a baby. Since the trip was long over due, I had all my blood work and such done. Everything came back just fine...well, almost everything. The same genes that make me a celiac are also the ones they see in diabetics. Double whammy crappy genes. My fasting blood sugar came back at 99. You are considered pre-diabetic at 100. Ugh. I have been successfully ignoring this information for months. Last week I went to the doctors again, twice in one year! This may be a non-pregnant record for me. I hate going to the doctor, it is expensive and inconvenient and they always find a reason to poke you. I was discussing with my doctor my up-coming surgery (don't freak out, it isn't anything big, just a bump in my hand) and she asked about my over all health. She asked how I was handling my blood sugar. Funny thing about doctors, they don't really want to hear about how you find the ...

Life

I haven't really updated on what the Crocker fam has been up to lately. Maybe because my life is just not that exciting? I do have some cute new pictures. So, lets see, we went up into the mountains (well, Evergreen) and went leaf peeping, walked around the lake and ate at Beau Joes (they have gf pizza). We went on a nice bike ride with the girls. Matt and I had our 9 year anniversary , he was soooo sweet and had flowers delivered and chocolates from See's. We are going to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa's 60 th anniversary this Friday. That about covers it! Here are some pictures!
