Mani/Pedi Lemon

Little Miss got her first mani/pedi (by me) today. Before this she only got her toenails painted.

Teen Miss let me try one of her lemon Luna bars. So good! It tastes like a lemon dessert.

I didn't do much else today. No knitting or crocheting. My husband came home from a five day business trip today. Though, I did manage to take a nice nap with him.  =)

I'm trying to get Mo to where she'll go to sleep on her own. I'm at phase "sit on the floor in front of the door".  I started by laying with her until she went to sleep after she was weaned.  Almost there. It's been almost an hour since lights out tonight and she's still awake. Though, I think she's finally settled down and is done crying, talking, shouting and playing around.  She's getting better. The hardest part is not trying to make her settle down or punish her for talking or moving. It does no good and the interaction seems to only get her more wound up. Now, she only gets a one minute time out if she gets out of bed or stands up in bed.  It's also really hard to not talk to her. If she asks me to fix her blanket, I will, but I won't say anything and just go sit back down. If she wants something like for me to put one of her stuffed animals back that she doesn't want anymore, I don't engage her.

...I was wrong. She's sitting up and talking again. Sigh. We'll get there.  I hope. Wish us luck!

Have a great night!

Granny & Fruit Leather

I finished my granny cup cozy yesterday. =)

I've been drinking a lot of water with fresh lemons lately. So yesterday I added strawberries and had strawberry lemon water. Yom!

Also, this water is awesome! Just purified water, mint and cocoa essence.  Can't wait to try their other flavors!

I'm also making strawberry banana fruit leather today!

Super Mo!!!


Check out Superhero Morgana's moves in a cape made from one of her Daddy's old t-shirts!!!




Park N Dirt

I made myself some mushrooms sautéed in olive oil with garlic salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning for dinner the other night and topped it with a slice of provolone.

I'Ve been working on this cup cozy. This is the second one I've done for myself. Now I can have one at my Mom's and one at home!

Mo and I went to the park yesterday. We ate lunch, played on the playground and fed the ducks.  There were even tiny baby ducklings!


"I wanna knock that tree."




Then we weeded the garden some more.



Have a lovely day!
