Eggs







I wondered if maybe dying Easter eggs with a 2 and 4 year old was a terrible idea. After all, Addilyn trashes at least one outfit a day with out the benefit of dye. Eliana knocks over at least a few glasses of milk a week. I went for it any way and I am glad to say we had a very nice time. Yes, several fingers looked liked they had been slammed in a door repeatedly due to excessive exposure to egg dye, but no clothing was ruined. The girls have been enjoying the "pretty eggs" for breakfast the last few day. I do believe a new tradition has been started.

Cassie got the brunt of our egg dying experience and now has a semi-permanent blue streak down her head. It came from blue chalk actually but it could have come from egg dye.

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.

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...

Blogging

So I have lost the love of blogging. I have always believed it is a narcissistic pass time, yet enjoy it anyway. I have found I easily spend entirely too much time tied to my computer. By the time I check Facebook , e-mail, friends blogs, etc I can easily waste an hour, if not two, of time. A friend of mine just blogged about the same thing. Yes, I get the irony of a blog post about not blog posting, but alas, here it is: I just read a good friends blog about my blog. A great leader here in Boulder, Kevin Colon wrote this: “Hugh moved to Denver to do a training deal for an organization and he ended up starting a church. His blogging is not incredibly frequent but when he does blog….it’s good!” Now, while I’m humbled that a man like Kevin would even want to read my blog, I figured it was a good time to state once and for all why I only post once or twice a month. Simply this……..”I prefer to spend my time with people.” I’ ve always wondered how people have time to read blogs, let alo...
