Rapunzel Rapunzel Let Down Your Hair
Working on getting this and a Pascal hat and tail in my shop. Jolie was so excited to wear this especially because we order Rapunzel hair from Disney and they informed me when my other things I ordered arrived that they had insuffient quanities ….argggg we were really disappointed.
I <3 Amazon!
I love the fact that I can find amazing deals that are shipped right to my door without any shipping fees!
I never actually buy mac and cheese at the grocery store because I know that it isn’t a healthy choice but then we always end up walking down to our local market and paying twice the price just because we have to have it…crazy blue box cravings! So I decided to just buy 15 boxes!! Why not at $0.65 a box you can’t pass it up!
…the pop tarts are another special treat at our house but make a great snack for this sweet tooth!
I was so delighted to see this huge box on the font door less than 2 days after I made my purchase.
Cooking for my Man
46 hours that how long Braxton was this past week. Before he left I decided I better try to get some home cooking in his belly.
On the menu Thursday night was shepherd’s pie and soda bread. I was pleasantly surprise by how the simple soda bread recipe made such great tasting bread. However, the shepherd’s pie recipe was just okay. I’m still on the look out for a really great restaurant style shepherd’s pie recipe.
Friday, my sweet husband requested homemade pizza. This is a simple request. I have made homemade pizza many many time. The dough is a simple and quick recipe. The on problem I had this time was with the pepperoni. I couldn’t believe the store was sold out of pre-sliced pepperoni so I had to slice it myself and didn’t realize that the casing needed to be taken off! Thank goodness Braxton can’t help but snack on whatever I’m making and let me know that the casing need to be pulled off!
Save Me, Lord, from Lying Lips…
Mama says: Jolie please finish your broccoli (which happens to be her favorite veggie)
Baby Jo says: Mama i finished aaallll my broccoli, now can I watch a show?
Mama says: Are you sure you finished aaallll your broccoli?
Baby Jo says: yes I ate it all!
Mama says: So, if I go look all your broccoli will be gone?
Baby Jo says: Yup it’s all gone.
Mama says: JOLIE!! You haven’t eaten all your broccoli…in fact I don’t think you ate any of your broccoli!!
Her next memory verse might need to be:
Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. Psalm 120:2
She’s on a Roll
She started out in the middle of the blanket. That ball caught her eye and there was no stopping her!
What an exciting time, it is just too bad Braxton missed it all 
he left this morning at 5 am before any of us were up to go to South Carolina for an area wide crusade.
Be the Breakfast Hero of Your House
Inspired by my mom making homemade pancakes, I made these pancakes Sunday and they were gone quick! Exclaimed as the ‘best pancakes ever’, I will definitely be making these anytime an occasion requires pancakes! Braxton loved them so much that when I told him that they would taste better if I used regular white all purpose flour (I had used white whole wheat flour) he said NOOO don’t do any thing different. My mom’s homemade pancakes have chocolate chips in there and they are sooo good but I couldn’t get any of my crew to let me put chocolate chips in their pancakes. But I think I will definitely need some chocolate chips the next time!
Baby Drama
Jolie is always playing waitress with her play food and being the creative girl she is things are never what they really are. Saturday she playing that her icing for play cupcakes was ice cream.
Baby Jo says: mama which ice cream do you want? white, blue, or yellow.
Mama says: Blue
Baby Jo says: welll you can have WHITE!
Mama says: but I asked for blue!
Baby Jo says: daddy which ice cream do YOOOUUU want?
Daddy says: Blue
Baby Jo says: sure here you go Daddy!
Daddy says: Hey Mama do you want to trade?
Mama says: Yes!!
Then Daddy tossed the blue one to me and this of course all lead Jolie to tears! And then we immediately traded back.
Sweet Summer Days
Enjoying the cooler weather and hoping for a little bit more summer!
Oh wait I just found a tiny spider crawling on me…bring on winter.
