victory garden

our victory garden is planted...

it was kinda easy and rather enjoyable. the kids were semi-angels. it was sort of a fun activity.

our white house garden includes - tomatoes, spanish onions, banana peppers, cucumbers, hungarian peppers, sweet basil, bibb lettuce, romaine lettuce, patio pickles, and strawberries.

bring on the bruschetta!

everybody's nuts

dear everybody's nuts,

we like a challenge. and yeah, it took MANY bags of south-of-the-border pistachios, but we finally did it. we found not one, but TWO unopened nuts.

what do you think of them 'stachios?
sincerely,
nuts in may

"Everybody's Nuts® guarantees that 100% of our nuts will be open. If you find a closed nut in your package, simply print and return the closed nut that snuck his way into your package and we will send you a coupon for a FREE bag of nuts. We'll get that wayward nut to open up to us about his "closed mouth" issue!"

read here for my inspiration - the traveling circus - love this blog.

5 great things about being a mom...

5. i can now blame my disney obsession on my kids. whew!

4. my kids kicked my ocd's ass. and guess what? i don't miss it so much. i fought it for a while, don't underestimate my ocd, but i get it now - my kids have made me a better mom by forcing me to look at what's really important in life - and it ain't dirt.

3. stained clothes = no biggie. just pretend like you've never seen that stain before... "oh my gosh, that must have JUST happened!"

2. kid food. come on, ya'll know you love it. just admit it already.

1. butterfly kisses. playing in the rain. hot chocolate. flashlights. bugs. glitter nail polish. movie night. coloring. fleece blankets. princess dresses. knock-knock jokes. play doh. tea parties. legos. popsicles. giggles. tub toys. juice bags. band-aids. pokemon cards. yahtzee. squirt guns. dancing. dodgeball. sand. bikes. bubbles. nature hikes. chocolate milk. chapter books. artwork. backpacks. pop tarts. bear hugs. never having to grow up. ever.

there are a couple of other mom blogs that i read and adore. if you see this, i would love to see your lists...
