I'm almost a good

Little housewifey. Look I even got a clothesline! Pretty excited about it actually, (yes I have no life).

My Uncle Gary built it for me and even put this little platform off the deck for my basket! He's awesome.

Just look how domestic being a homeowner has made me! :) haha

School lunch

After watching this TV show about school lunches and how unhealthy they are for kids, I vowed to not let Camilla eat school lunch very often.  So I decided to go to the place that has the answer to pretty much anything. AKA Pinterest.  I read on someone else's blog how pinterest had made them a better Mom, I totally agree.  Need craft ideas? Need something new to cook for dinner? Need house decorating ideas?  Need new hair styles for your daughter?  Need a idea for pretty much anything known to man kind? Go to Pinterest. I should get paid for that. Anyway as I was saying, I went to Pinterest and found these cool Tupperware things and about 6 million ideas for packing her a lunch.  Pretty sweet!

Check out these cute lunches:

The little containers are the silicone cupcake wrappers.  Obviously these aren't meant to be turned upside down which is kinda hard to deal with.  They are designed so that kids can get them off themselves but I've found the lid stays on pretty good.  But if you have the little Tupperware things with lids you can put BBQ sauce or whatever for them to dip stuff in, then you don't have to worry about spillage.  

If I can keep her lunches a little bit exciting then it's harder for her to get excited about getting a "hot lunch".  

They were pretty cheap to buy and would be good to use if you are taking a family outing see?

They sell a lunch box that will hold them upright good if you want, but the one she has right now fits good.
Happy lunching!

baby food

I found this nifty thing and so I've been making baby food for Keaton.  It adds up fast when you buy the little jars. With my food processor it makes it really easy!

 Looks delicious! Sweet potatoes, little bit of carrot and broccoli.

 Pop it in the freezer and it comes out like this! Perfect size.

 Stick in a mesh feeder (that looks so gross but works really good) and he's happy so I can cook dinner! :)

 Yum!

Plus the cold food on his gums feels good! 

short and sweet

After many issues,situations,problems,hard experiences and struggles.  Things feel like they are coming together.  It has seemed like there was just always some issue going on with us, (not marital problems) and now for the first time in quite a  while it just seems calm.  I'm so glad that through it all we have remained strong and committed.  I'm so glad for my little boy who I almost gave up hope on having. His little smile at me just melts my heart and brings joy to us all.   I'm so glad that Camilla and I are doing so well.  I look at her little classmates and can see these poor children who just need guidance, who need love and stability and just aren't getting it.  I'm so glad for the God I know and for the way that I am privileged to be in that helps my children to know stability.
That's about all I have to say about that.

You know you're a

Stay at home Mom/woman when you get really excited about a-

New dishwasher!!!

Swoon...I mean why have a dishwasher if you have to wash the dishes before you put them in it?!  Isn't that the point of a dishwasher? :)  It does a great job so far and makes my life easier! Yay for this Momma!
