Today, I believe

- Underwear is over-rated. At least on 2 year olds. She can't be bothered and, while at home, either can I.

- Being a good neighbor is hard. Sometimes I just don't want to.

- Picking berries with children means 3 very stained and happy kids and very few berries that actually make it home.

- Everything could be made better by bacon or strussel topping.

- The 3ed kid's life looks way different from the first kids. Pretty sure I should never get to kid #7 because they wouldn't make it through the first year of life. I would misplace them somewhere or they would be dismembered by a sibling, by accident of course.

- I can tell how good of day my children had by how many outfits they go through.

- Sleeping naked is the only way to go in the summer.

-Pets teach children a lot of things including that just because it is on the floor doesn't mean it isn't' good to eat and licking is an appropriate greeting in most situations

-I have no idea what to do with a sink full of apples from our tree. I have more to come. Anyone need some apples?

- Never ask a child why they are sticky. Just wash them and assume the worst.

- Drunk people and toddlers have a lot in common: both require hands going up stairs, they both get a kick out of dancing naked on the table, neither have good control of body functions, you can only understand about half of what they say, and they both cry for no good reason.

- If you come over and I have nothing freshly baked it has been a bad week

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...

Not my fault

The other night we had company for dinner. I had 3 dessert choices, which Matt said was excessive. Whatever. It isn't my fault that he doesn't like cherries and so I had to make flourless chocolate cake with almonds and ganache for him. The baby wanted black forest brownies and I just happened to have blueberry cheesecake on hand from the day or two before. Anyway, our guest was expecting too, and twins at that! It isn't my fault I burned my tongue on the hot-out-of-the oven pina colada cake. It smelled soooo good and the baby said he needed a bite RIGHT NOW. And who am I to say no to a little guy who is just trying his best to grow and get fat? What kind of mother would I be? I spend a majority of time in yoga pants, which I should not be blamed for. After all, if the makers of maternity clothing understood how hard it is to keep pants on a round belly, maybe they would be a little more innovative . And my pants always feel tight...maybe it is the dessert options at my hou...

My life plan

Some people have "bucket lists", which I admire, you know how I LOVE myself a good list. Strangely enough, I have yet to make a bucket list. This totally seems like something I would love to do; I love a good plan and lists make me unquestionable happy...maybe I can add "bucket list" to my "to-do" list. While I don't have myself a handy dandy "bucket list" I do have a well organized life plan. I assume God has some plans of His own for my life and I am more than happy to switch to His plan at any time. But until I see the sky writer/direct message from God, this is what I am going to be doing: 1- Move to Jersey for Matt's job. Ok, so he doesn't actually HAVE the job in Jersey but a plan has to start somewhere. Live in Jersey for a couple of years, home school Eliana and work on getting my parent educator certification so I can practice as a postpartum doula and parent educator. 2- Move back to Colorado. Enroll Eliana at Montessori Pea...
