kisses kisses

Sunday was a beautiful day for a picnic and sweet kisses.

...how sweet it is to be loved by TWO...

...the two great men in my life...

Guilty and giving in...

I'll blame it on the low blood sugar, though I swear I just had breakfast, no wait, that was at 9, and it's 12.

Okay, it was the low blood sugar:

I am guilty. I used a paper plate when i could have used our lovely dishes. I also have one load of laundry in the dryer, one to fold on the couch and one to fold on the bed...and they are in big piles, and I am in the middle of cleaning the bathroom.

I gave in. Charlie kept refusing his green beans and chicken so he is eating yogurt for lunch...I am eating it too...but out of the large tub rather than a bowl...bad habit, I know.

Gotta run, I think I just got yogurt up his nose.

Vino

Check out Weeknight Wine...cheers to them.

My thoughts on...

World Hunger,

saving the environment,

and the Economy.

If there is dessert in the house I have to eat it. Does this mean I have a sweet tooth? I have never considered myself to have a sweet tooth. I don’t really care about dessert, like cake, cupcakes, cookies, ice cream…I LOVE dark chocolate in the truest sense, but dessert, not such a big deal, until it crosses the threshold of four-oh-eight. Then it calls my name, like I have to eat it or it will go bad, and I despise wasting. Chips, crackers, whatever else, oh they will go stale because I don’t want them to snack on – I’d rather have fruit, granola, something “healthy”.

We have ice cream don't we? I wonder if Robbie is going to eat his cupcake.

You have to try ECOS Laundry Detergent. I mean, you don’t have to, but you should. I have been extremely pleased with the results = clean clothes.

It is all natural, so not only is it ecologically friendly, but for those of us plagued with sensitive skin (eczema) we have something without harsh chemicals and dyes. The only downside is it doesn’t leave the wonderful scent (I really like) Gain does…it doesn’t leave a scent at all. It does have organic lavender but you really only smell it when you pour it in the wash. It also contains some soy something that acts as a natural softener. Throw in a couple of dryer balls and you’re good to go.

I received my second order through my Etsy shop. Yay!

Another custom order and my customer is actually local but they found me on Etsy. Small world. Another order = a little money in the bank = a little more in savings = happy me.

Fortune Cookies and Fun

No this isn't edited...it's Mommy having fun.

This week:

• we ordered Chinese take-out (see above picture)
• we walked every day, well except today b/c I decided to blog and Etsy instead
• we ate in the kitchen using the new high chair
• we woke up early, earlier than I like, and made sure to see Daddy off to work
• we visited the Lee County Library and Flint Community Bank where the ladies loved Mr. C
• I got a haircut while Aunt Becca helped out
• Daddy was back in school full time
• we visited friends and hope to visit more this afternoon

I can't believe another week is gone. Happy Friday.

Back in action?

Summer is "over" for us. Daddy is back to work and it's me and Mr. C. (who is about to be 7 months old by the way!) going for walks, keeping the house livable, and whatever else stay-at-home mommies do. For some reason I pictured life a little different by now...he would be more independent, taking out the trash, washing or at least sorting his own laundry...not so much :)

The World of Mommy is very different but I think I am finally beginning to settle into it. Multitask is my only form of opperation, which explains why most things don't get finished, and my brain remains to be a little scrambled. Things that used to matter don't and things that never mattered do...it's all the good stuff as Robbie and I like to call it.

Gotta go, he's up. Until the next nap time...peace and quiet :)
