Our Day: A Glimpse

Looking for new recipes
Found this site with some yummy foods

Oh yeah!
And I need to make a baby blanket for the new baby!
This yarn looks very scrumptious!

Been looking for baby names here

You heard right, this mama is having yet another baby!
We are crazy excited or maybe just crazy....either way, we're very happy!


Trying to find the perfect buttons for Zeke’s new baby's sweater


Lovin' this boy!


All day, I thought this was the date


Fixing Samosas for dinner, let Zeke play eat some dough


Settled for this around 5pm

It really was a beautiful day, hope yours was too!

A Little Bit

What a beautiful and productive day!

Here is just a bit of our day:






There was lots of drumming and outdoor play today!

I received my copy of Taproot in the mail last week!!
Here is a recipe from my favorite cookbook author, Cynthia Lair
(not only a good cook but also very humorous!!)
Massaged Kale with apples, raisins and dressing....
so delicious!






Dinner, morning prepared = a stressfree mama!
Everyone is happy

Weekend

Warm sunny days,
Trips to the park,
Long nights lingering outdoors
and beautiful casts of light throughout the house...
Spring has arrived!

To start our weekend off I, by myself had a lovely dinner with my two boys.
After dinner we all headed downtown for a local vintage fashion show.
So fun! Loud, but fun!


We headed to North Georgia, early early Saturday morning where Oscar ran his first
race at the Elachee Nature Center.


My dad's birthday was also celebrated this weekend with family and
lots of yummy homemade strawberry pie!

After a Sunday morning of relaxing and a beautiful gathering with an expecting mama, Papa D and I took Zeke to the park to play and swing.
There was some dreaming by mama of homes that I would love to live in.



Oscar and I created a Spring collage


Yes, my boy, Spring has Sprung.
The babies will be born and the flowers will bloom

Until next time

Weekend

Last weekend we celebrated a little ones birthday.



Family gathered to show love for our sweet little Zeke. I feel incredibly blessed to have the family I have and to feel their love and support.
Papa Dave totally rocks!!
He made all the food for the party; Spinach and Mascarpone Soup and 5 different kinds of bread! He set up a cheese, nuts, fruit and fig tray and hung all the decorations!!
I could not have done it without the help of Dave and my sweet family!
So a Big Giant THANK YOU goes out to all!!

Here are some photos of that special occasion.







Happy Birthday Baby Boy!!

Taking it out

The weather here has been so beautiful that we have taken things outdoors.
I picked up an awesome rocking chair from someone getting rid it and
set it right out the front door.
While Zeke plays and eats grass, I knit and Oscar reads to us.





As excited as I was for Winter to get here, I think I am ready for Spring!
till next time

Sometimes it just feels right

Sometimes it just feels right to pack it up and get out of town.
And that's exactly what we did a couple weekends ago.
I didn't even bother packing everyone a separate bag,
I threw everyone's clothes (since they needed to be folded and put away anyway)
into a laundry basket complete with laptop, camera, knitting, snacks and
headed out.



Before arriving at mom and dads we stopped off at a Creamery that just opened to buy some fresh milk, chocolate milk, peach ice cream and some beef.



The boys and I stole my mom for the day and did some local shopping and lunching!





I think it's about time for another visit!

I'm still here

I'm still here.
I was going back through my photos and trying to figure out the best way to start back.
So, I'm starting from today and going back...

I finally made some more English Muffins!
Yay for me!!



They have been on my list for probably over a year.
Check!

I did lots of yummy Holiday baking






I finished some arm warmer for an order I had received from a
sweet girl I met at the Hemlock festival.
She wanted them made for her and her best friend.





I love the way these turned out. I knitted an extra stripe of light blue to each of the arms for an extra touch of friendship.

We've had sweet playdates with homemade snacks and tattoos.




Oscar decided he wanted to be a tattoo artist. He set up shop complete with a 50's phone, a jar of plant based markers, probably from A Small Green FootPrint, a sign and of course his own work done all over his body, face included. He's moved on from this and wants to start working with henna.





I was a little behind with the advant calendar this year. It was more of a morning, "oh no, I forgot to add to the calendar." and promised to get one in before classes ended that day.
I hope to be more organized next year, I mean, how hard is it to put a message in the calendar for a month...really?!


We had a really fun time with all the families for Holidays.
Oscar set out to be the Gift Elf this year


Some of the cousins here...so cute!


I bit off more than I could chew this year with all the local Holiday Markets.
I worked and worked and worked, with help from family until after all the
markets were finished, right before Christmas I got sick.
My body was done.
But, I produced some really beautiful candles and lots of soaps!






Well, I think I have done some damage tonight.
I will return with more updates.
