She has become the new unofficial greeter. She says hello to everyone, and some lucky people get hugs. Elizabeth dashes quickly through the rows of chairs saying her hellos. In the indoor gym area she attempts to play with the older kids. She does not care if they are playing rough; she just laughs and runs with them. 😜 The only way she can play basket ball is if the hoop is all the way down and someone lifts her up. As worship begins…the running around giggling does too…😓😂 I find it so embarrassing to have to chase her up front. But the congregation thinks is cute and funny so they laugh; so she laughs and thinks she is acting perfectly fine. After she runs away once, she must be held; which starts the, “Noooooos!!!” She does not like being in mama’s arms. She wants to be free…😓So while worship is continuing, I am singing and humming along while I keep Elizabeth happy with doodling with crayons. Then she notices her favorite buddy is sitting behind us. So she takes her crayons and shares with him by his family. I feel so bad for letting my naughty child influence the boy…😖😑Calm down mama…what?….really!?!Sunday school begins…And mama’s time to relax starts…enjoy the small amount of worship left, listen intently to the sermon. Mama’s alone time in God’s house…❤️
Every Sunday is not like this…occasionally I get a well behaved baby… which scares me. Because I know that means once we get home all craziness will be unleashed.
But I can’t complain. It makes me so happy that church is her favorite place to be. She never wants to go home. The “Nooooooos!!!” happen again once I say we have to go bye bye.
Also since Elizabeth is such a social person, church is her once a week day to interact with everyone. Even people who want alone time will get a smile or a sweet, “Hello.” They have no choice.
It is Tuesday, which means Mom’s group…at the church. Elizabeth loves Mom’s group as well, she had oodles of space to be a crazy little ball of energy. Enjoy your Tuesday!! 🥰
So it begins…Hiding in her animals and screaming at me…right after, out of anger, she threw all her animals everywhere…Same with the books…Proceeding to scream into the chair. She also pushed the foot stool into my foot and broke my toe nail…I put that up so no more of my toes would harmed. Before throwing a temper tantrum she tried bite and scratch me out of anger….my angry little thing…Save me…She calmed enough to snuggle daddy. She only did soft whimpers into his shoulder. 😒After about 10min she was somewhat sleeping in Daddy’s arms. Only whimpering occasionally. Letting her fully fall asleep in mama’s arms before putting her in her bed. She is my sweet sweet again…❤️Bed time!!
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!! 🥰
As I said before I was going to make the rolls from scratch…I did! They were delicious. They didn’t come out the exactly the same way, but still yummy!
They were supposed to be a Hawaiian/ sweet roll…
This is the other cookbook I am currently going through…🤓There was an extra edition to the book with this recipe…Looks yummy right?
Well you can see the picture right…mine did not look like this is but they still tasted great!!
This is what I was going for…(this is from the Pioneer Woman Cooks: From my Frontier)Does the dough look good…? 🙃
Well in the recipe it said to knead for 10min…I did it for maybe 2min because the dough felt like the recipes description…later after the process is done my hubby gives me his two cents…late as always…Oh well, Oops!
Even if I attempt to keep my area clean it never stays that way…The recipe said it would double in size…it maybe grew by a 3rd…24 rolled…I was supposed to measure each one but I don’t have a scale…so I guesstimated. I didn’t even count as I made them and I made the right number!
Remember, it wasn’t until later that I realized I might have done the recipe wrong. Still I was at this point, I was almost 3hrs into this process and I was feeling accomplished! 😎
The recipe said to place them text to each other and paint them with melted butter.
Wait for it!!….
What!?!
I took them out and this is what I received after my hard work. I was super sad. I buttered the tops again and they were ready.
Now is the time to receive the wise wisdom from the hubby…he tells me about the secret he learned about following kneading in recipes. 10min actually means 10 times…😒 I hate it when he is right… Of course, he loves it. 🤓
Even though it is not super similar it was still delicious.
They did rip apart easily. They were not solid as a rock, and they tasted delicious! So not too bad for my first time. I will definitely be trying this one again!!
Taste: Elizabeth loved it! She had 2. Hubby had seconds! Also he ate them throughout the week until they were gone! 😎 Taste: 10 out of 10!
Look like picture: ???….2. I think 2 is fair… 2 out of 10…😖
Easiness: Ignoring the misunderstanding the kneading process…I would give it a solid 8. It was actually an easy recipe to follow and I WILL be trying it again.
So overall, I am enjoying my cooking process. I’m learning new skills and my creative mind is trying to figure out new ideas…(but I will not do that yet, I will continue to learn).
Enjoy your St. Patrick’s Day!! For all the Irish people out there…”I love you!!” 🤪☘️ Maybe I will be making some corned beef…but we shall see…
Self explanatory…Normal 8:30 alarm…Elizabeth wakes mama up with sweet kisses…🥰Going downstairs, making breakfast…sweet snuggles for mama…I made her oatmeal and yogurt…she ate it all like a big girl…😳While I got to eat my breakfast alone, and I was able to edit and post my story…🧐I had a little cheerleader as I exercised. And whenever I complained or said “Owww” I would get kisses…💕Mama had to make Pizza for lunch…my little helper got everything out for me…Not only helping me prep, but she helped me roll the dough too…🤓Then proceeded to eat the two slices of pizza I gave her! 😮 also her applesauce and cheese…Mama got tired suddenly so…nap time… Elizabeth came and gave me sweet snuggles and a blanket…❤️She was such a little sweet sweet yesterday 💕🎊Original by emily2jane 3-16-21
The second half of the day was…not worth mentioning and wouldn’t follow my statement above…but the first half of my day had never been that sweet in a long time…
I am wondering if this is a calm before the storm…or maybe it was just a mama day for the first half…
I don’t know what it was but I will take my sweet kisses, snuggles, and loves with a happy heart!!
Mama’s out there in the world…even if they give you a sweet half day enjoy it to the fullest!! 💕
Our breakfasts are usually normal…She ate most of Daddy’s food yesterday so I gave her that today!! Oatmeal, strawberry yogurt, and milk. I always make Elizabeth’s food first so that mine is nice and warm when I go to eat it. Toasted peanut butter honey toast!! Yum!The hubby is happily eating while watching his morning news…Elizabeth is copying daddy and eating like a big girl.You must always get your milk last so it is ice cold when you drink it!! 😎Back to the table…?Please…Not today…😩Munch…munch…munch!! At least she is eating! I guess I’ll let it slide…Round #2!! Drink milk, and get a second half cup to enjoy ice cold milk….Ooooooooo….New warm one hers…half eaten one mine…
I have to look at it from this view point…she ate half of the 1st and all of the second…😮 Her tummy is full!
Yesterday Daddy’s food was hers, today it was my turn. I guess this is what I get for laughing at the hubby having to share his food…haha
Maybe tomorrow we all will get to eat our own food…maybe…or she will decided both Mama’s and Daddy’s food is delicious and needing to be shared…
I was invited to a women’s church event on Saturday. It was going to be from 8am-4pm…so really 7am-5pm. So 10hrs away from home…Daddy in charge of watching baby 🤪…
The longest I’ve been away from Elizabeth was a hair cut 4mo ago and I was gone for 1hr…Off to my adventure… …Destroyer of the house…Frazzled Daddy…Daddy is done…???Being a sweet sweet playing outside…Being a sweet sweet eating her lunch…Watching a movie and snuggling Daddy…Art time!!And then coming home to a napping baby and tired Daddy…Original by emily2jane 3-8-21
The hubby did a good job. she was a stinker here and there but he said it was just small whinny cries. He only had one poopy diaper to change but he survived.
He got to experience somewhat of my day…because I did come home to dishes…a messy house…and still having to make dinner. Which I’m okay with this…
Want to know why…!?! Because if he had done everything, I would have come home to a frazzled worn out hubby, so much so that he would never let me leave the baby with him again. So I’m good, I’m good. 😎
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. 🥰
It has been 30-40 degrees so 20 degrees warmer is a huge thing!Setting up the patio and eating lunch outside. She has been eating everything!Coloring with chalk…I don’t know if I’m enjoying chalk more than her 🤪Future driver. She occasionally makes vrooming sounds when she runs around in her car. More applesauce mama!Zooming…She did steal my glasses at one point. The pose in the car was perfect for her sunglasses face 🤓Back inside. Yummy thing after lunch. Volunteered nap time…I was exhausted too. Happy for a break.
Enjoy your Friday. There is expected snow up her next Thursday…not happy…😩
You should know what’s going to happen…Not only Daddy’s muffin…but the last muffin…Elizabeth has spied the muffin. She doesn’t quite understand the concept of “Daddy’s muffin”I guess the puppy dog eyes got to him so he decided to share with his sweet sweet…Muffin meets baby…muffin no more…( what’s really funny is used to do this to my hubby all the time before Elizabeth…)😅Keep it together! Haha he was so mad…🤣Elizabeth’s stuffed baby cheeks!! Still so sweet, but I don’t think her Daddy will share next time…Original by emily2jane 3-3-21
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.
You can probably tell from the title it’s going to be “good”…Typing the story. I’m on a roll with inspiration…Pause…what is she up to?Queen Elizabeth is riding her mighty steed…More typing!!!!…I’m being too productive…Oh no….…Candy wrappers everywhere…😔It’s almost 9pm…bedtime won’t be until midnight…😩 Original by emily2jane 2-26-21
Moms out there…if you’ve experienced this you know…😓 She now knows how to open the pantry…all yummy foods must go up…
15 degrees…means chilly but it was -30 a few days before…so now it’s a nice temp to play in the snow. Mama on a mission for daddy and Elizabeth…🤨Shovel the snow…shovel the snow…shoveling! 30min later…😎She can now sled in the backyard…Mwahahaha48 degrees…it was nice out. Sunshine. Slight breeze. Perfect day to be outside. The snow is melting…her small hill is now like a frozen solid brick of snow…Shoveling the other way…shoveling…1.5 hrs later…only small puddles of water…she now wants to drive her car instead of sledding…My muscles ache…the sun shine feels nice. The things we do for our children…🤪Original by emily2jane 2-24-21
That was counted as my exercise for the day…shoveling is fun but I am done for now.
