Rodan & Fields

18 Dec 2015

I just got back from the dentist getting my teeth cleaned. As I was making my next appointment the receptionist complimented me on my makeup. I had to tell her I wasn't wearing any...IT'S MY SKINCARE!! 😜 



02 Dec 2015 Just getting my REDEFINE mask on! I LOVE getting ready for bed just so I can wash my face! 

06 Nov 2015 Here it is!!! No makeup selfie! 😜

Decorated the Christmas tree with our little Santa baby!

 





Busy Boy - Facebook 07 Dec 2015

Peter picked all of the low hanging Christmas ornaments off the tree to have an Easter Egg Hunt of sorts with Aaron, basket and all with my ornaments. Wrong holiday, kid. After he got bored with that he went into the bathroom to spread Vaseline all over the world. When he finally got put into highchair lockdown, he managed to get out of the straps and escape so he could find a pencil with which to stab me. #toddlerlife

Update: Toothpaste in the toilet!?!? I can't keep up!

Terrific or Terrible? Facebook 03 Dec 2015

You know you have a terrible two year old when Mom is repairing the hole in the couch while Daddy is tearing the toilet apart to unclog the dinosaur that was flushed. 😖

Festival of the Trees - Facebook 01 Dec 2015

Took the kids to the Festival of the Trees in Vacaville earlier today! So many beautiful trees to see! Peter had a hard time keeping his hands off the decorations and his hugs off of all the stuffed animals! Donated for the local food banks! Fabulous way to start the holiday season! 😊

iPad destruction - Facebook 24 Nov 2015

 It was not a matter of IF but WHEN. My naked iPad was thrown to the floor in a fit of fury by the two year old when power was disconnected. The screen is now shattered. Why was the iPad naked? The otter box was unceremoniously picked apart by the children (much like vultures). Why, FOR THE LOVE, did the two year old have the vulnerable naked electronic? Good question....Daddy?

OMGsh it's been one of those days!! 😖

A Child's Routine - Facebook 24 Nov 2015

 Me: Why are there a bunch of golf balls in the fridge?

Children: For the same reason there are pencils in the toaster, Mother. What a ridiculous question! Can you not see our curious little minds must work through the intricacies of thermodynamics in our youth so that we can unleash the power of free energy in the prime of life?

Me: Uhh....right. That must be it.

Children: There, there, Mother. Now return to your pots and cooking instruments that you may prepare for us a perfectly balanced delicious meal from the Canary Islands to which we will turn up our noses come meal time. We shall demand oatmeal as soon as bedtime has been announced.

Me: Just like last night.

Children: See, Mother? You're getting it already! Bravo!

That's all Folks - Facebook 18 Nov 2015

Tender mercies: I had surgery today. Nothing major, but still. Last night I took dinner to a friend who, as it turned out, gave me more comfort toward my anticipation than my silly lasagna did for her recovery for the SAME surgery. 💕 Guess who my nurse today was? My angel! The same one who delivered Samuel's head in the parking lot 5 1/2 months ago! 💕 Afterwards Michael took me to get something to eat and who should we run into? My Visiting Teacher! 💕 Coincidences? Not on your life! I'm a Daddy's girl and He just reminded me of it today through LOTS of little miracles! 💕

Pressure canned some chicken today!!!

 




03 Nov 2015

I still have two spots available for my canning class this Saturday! Any takers? Free-99! Just bring your own jar and chicken!

Supplies to bring:
2 pounds chicken and one wide mouth quart jar, one NEW ring and one NEW lid. Optional: one bullion cube. The chicken may be breast or dark meat, but it is best to be boneless
It's recommended that you bring a journal or notebook and a pen to write the steps down.

He's mine! Facebook 31 Oct 2015

Last year I started a pink blanket. Today I finished off a very long pink scarf instead. It's bitter sweet. Seven is the number of perfection. Alas there is no second girl in my future, only daughters in law. #ANDwearedone
