Give me a moment.

In this moment

I’m truly happy,

I have all I’ve ever needed.

In this moment I am content,

and have been humbled.

I am here when I should not be,

I am where I belong.

So give me a moment to absorb what surrounds me,

because it’s not always been so.

 

-no idea who wrote this, but I like it!

Happy Friday everyone, I hope you have a good moment this weekend!

Kath Vogelmann had asked if I could do a Bloomin’ Onion for her using a Walla Walla from HighCross Farm.  I had never made one before so I scoured the Internet for recipe ideas.

A little back story on me before I continue.  I had gained a ton of weight when I had my two children.  They are now 17 and 15 respectively.  The weight made itself at home.  I decided this year to take the bull by the horns and lose weight the right way through diet and exercise.  I got a personal trainer and decided to cut calories and eat organic.  I have thus lost almost 30 pounds since I started this in March.

This brings me back to recipes for Bloomin’ Onions.  Almost every recipe I saw was a deep fried recipe.  All the nutrition information that came with had the Bloomin’ Onion at 2,ooo+ calories…

Pinterest fail? Glue Balloons.

 

 I started on my glue balloons and I’m waiting for them you dry. I’ll post as soon as I know how they fared.

RuPauls Moosewood Cookbook.

 I’ve been binge watching RuPaul’s Drag Race. Which is nearly the worst/best show ever. While watching queens scratch, swear, fight and be sickeningly fierce I’ve been flipping through my Moosewood Cookbook.

Not only are Ru’s ladies Fab-u-lous but so is this cookbook. All Vegetarian hardy food. If you get a chance check this cookbook out. Its my go to for yummy meals. Tonight I will be making the Hummus. yum yum.

On another note, last week I promised a Pinterest challenge. I am planning on doing this experiment next week starting on Monday.

My schedule is as follows

Monday, Melted Crayon Art.

Canvas.

Tuesday, Balls with paper pinned to them

I'm on a big tissue paper balls & flowers kick lately.

Wednesday, 3D Stars

3D paper stars

Thursday, Glue Balloons.

Brilliant Idea: Dip yarn in watered down glue, wrap around balloon and pop balloon when dry.

Friday, Something like whatever this is.

Fabric or scrapbook paper for a background with a painted initial in an open frame. Too cute!

So that’ll be fun! yeehaw!

IF YOU WANT TO SEE ME FUDGE SOMETHING UP LET ME KNOW!

sorry caps lock was on

Kisses!

What Does My Baby Do When I’m Working?

When I’m running around doing stuff what does my baby do?

Usually he’s attached to me via baby Bjorn or he sits in his high chair pretending to be evil Spock.
