Wednesday, May 12th, 2010I’m a slacker so here are the photos from the Tea Jelly adventure! You can find the recipe here. The brown stuff in the big jar is homemade instant hot cocoa mix! You have to try it! While you are at it, try out some of Hippy’s other recipes because she’s awesome!
Babies and Vampires and Snoopy, oh my!
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010When the pediatric dermatologist (read about that here) said LBG needed to have blood drawn, it didn’t register in my blonde headed mind that this wouldn’t be a simple heel stick. Boy was I wrong! TF and I are very well endowed in the vascular department. We have garden hoses running through our arms! Sadly, [...]
Visiting the Skin People
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010LBG had his pediatric dermatology appointment today! I’ve been dreaming about this day since we got the appointment. Are they going to tell me it’s a hopeless cause and we just need to hold tight until he grows out of it? Is he allergic to life and we will have to put him in a [...]
I Made Jelly!
Monday, May 10th, 2010Mother’s Day was a slightly eventful day. We’d planned to visit a farm and pick strawberries. The website I’d found said they were open Sunday noon until 5. As you should know by now, our city recently flooded so we to drive all over creation to get to the right highway that then took us [...]
The List
Monday, May 10th, 2010I’m trying really hard not to turn this blog into “The Chronicles of Eczema Woes” but right now eczema is a huge deal in our house. Our sweet little boy can’t wear cute summer clothing like most babies. He spends his days in long sleeved sleeper so he can’t tear all of his skin off. [...]
The House Saga Continues
Saturday, May 8th, 2010We are getting very close to our deadline to move. TF will be away much of the summer and wants up to be settled before that happens. “Our” house is still in limbo due to a second mortgage through a different bank. We need to find a house that we could close on by the [...]
Wipe Out!
Friday, May 7th, 2010So you know how I talked about Samantha over at The LaMay Bakery switching over to cloth diapers? Well, somehow the two of us convinced an almost complete stranger to be a convert, too! Yes people, this is the power of Twitter at work! Erin over at The Unexpected Army Life is making the leap, [...]
Crying Over Spilt… Buttermilk?
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010Monday morning, I was watching a random episode of I Love Lucy. It was the episode where Lucy and Ethel have to do everything as they would pre-1900. I don’t know much about the story except that they had to make butter and bread by hand. This got me thinking… and we all know things [...]
Music to My Ears
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010We recently went grocery shopping as a family. As we were just finishing up, TF reminded me that I was running low on Borax. We made a quick detour down the laundry care and household cleaner isle on our way to check out. We made it about 6 feet down the isle when the following [...]
Here Comes the Flood
Monday, May 3rd, 2010You are supposed to sing that to the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun.” Last Saturday TF, LBG, and I planned to go to a class about installing rain barrels! We intend to have at least two at our new house so we were really interested in learning more about them. Unfortunately it rained so we [...]
