I wanted to paint some…so I set everything up and…
I at least got some more of my painting done. But her arms still have faded sharpie lines. One mark looks like she has barbed wire on her arm…
Just in time for Easter…hope most of it is gone. Because her dress has no sleeves.
This happened last night…
The hubby is back on day shifts at work, so it means I will not have his help tonight. 😳
Please let her do better tonight…🙏 All moms who understand what I am experiencing please pray for me and my sanity.
Still…happy it is the weekend!! and when we woke up today she was once again my snuggling sweet sweet!! 🥰
My hubby has a friend, from work, who is currently retiring and moving; that decided to gift us his cookbooks. I was thinking like 5-6 new cookbooks…more like 3 dozen cookbooks. It was a God send; I was getting bored of cooking my normal go-to recipes.
There were 3 cookbooks specializing on Italian food…like the unusual, adventurous food…we are giving those to a different buddy. We are brave, but not that brave…let’s be honest, I don’t think I could cook the weird things without getting sick…
So my plan is to go through 3 books at a time. The one pictured below, another by the same author but called, ‘Dinner Time’, and then lastly one called ‘Crusts’. I’ve done a few already. They are delicious!! Sadly I didn’t think of writing my experience until now.
This is recipe # 7 so far. Rigatoni & Meatballs. Serves 6-8…we will be eating the is a while. A new recipe of meatballs from scratch…I have one, but this is more complex.
You know how reading the recipe all the way through is a smart thing…I always forget to do that. I have 20min after I finish the meatballs…haha 🤪
This recipe in total is 1hr and 4min…so I guess I lied earlier…
“How much longer?”-Hubby
“10-20min”- me, but with 25min to go…🤓
I think I will rate them one by one after each recipe. Taste for my family. Easiness to follow. And if it looks like the picture…haha 😅
Hopefully all goes well…
Finally finished! Her picture looks so much better than mine… rating out of 10…so guess looking like the picture is more like a 4. Taste: My hubby gives it a 10! Elizabeth gives it a “Mmmmmm” so probably a solid 8. I like it too, but I mostly care about their opinion. Easiness…it is not too bad. If I had read through the entire recipe I would have time managed better. I give easiness a 7.
So overall. I will definitely be trying this recipe again!! Tomorrow night we are using the leftovers for a suggestion from the cookbook…Meatball Sliders.
I will make the mini rolls from scratch…we shall see!!
It’s been sunny and beautiful these last few days. Nothing super funny has happened. Instead we’ve been outside enjoying the sun and playing. She has also been a sweet sweet. 🥰
Enjoy your Friday. There is expected snow up her next Thursday…not happy…😩
When this happened a few days ago I died with laughter. The hubby was mad, Elizabeth was filled, and mama was laughing in the corner.
Not related to this post at all but…
Happy Birthday Sister!! 🎉
Moms out there…if you’ve experienced this you know…😓 She now knows how to open the pantry…all yummy foods must go up…
That was counted as my exercise for the day…shoveling is fun but I am done for now.
Have a happy Wednesday❤️
She normally sleeps on her bed all night long, but some nights, like last night, she “snuggles” with mama and daddy…
Just in case people might worry. We have a heater on, and she likes no covers…I do cover her up when I wake up occasionally; however, every time it’s morning she has no covers…haha 😅
She cracks me up sometimes…🤣 Although , I do love the nights where she actually wants to snuggle. I wake up to a sweet baby thing snuggling her mama. So sweet ❤️
This happened last night…
I was only sad for a split second. Because honestly I had eaten about 10 Oreos yesterday, so she was saving me from gaining more weight.
Also strudel is better with vanilla ice cream, and how could I stop my hungry thing from eating. I’m sure all moms have experienced the days where your child doesn’t really eat a lot during the day…and you worry about them…
I was having one of those days yesterday. So for her to want to steal mine and eat it all, made me super happy. Her belly was full!
Enjoy your Thursday!! ❤️ And if possible have some apple strudel and vanilla ice cream! 😊
Today was too crazy, for me to set aside time to draw.
It was a Daddy day. So anything to do with mama was “the end of the world!” And dad slept in until 10am. So a few hours of just misery.
I had to make dinner early so the hubby could take some to work tonight. So of course that meant dishes…my meaning of life. 😖
Nap time. Mama was wanted. 🙄
Daddy left for work…”END OF THE WORLD” naughty baby to the extreme. Her answer when I told her stop doing that, “Dada yeah, dada yeah.”
Supposedly everything she does, dada would say yeah! 😩
I did one productive thing…I entered various recipes I had randomly jotted down. 😎
Only to finish, walk over, and see her pouring her milk on her puzzle…🤯 Time out! guess what…
“END OF THE WORLD”
When is this day going to be done…I’m done.
Enjoy your Saturday night! I will probably be suffering; meaning, someone out there in the world should have a good night! Please do!!
