With Ryan at school from first thing in the morning till often after the kids go to bed I'm constantly having to entertain. One of the things we like to do is cook. Gwen goes to a Montessori preschool and the Montessori method encourages child participation in the kitchen. So I cook with the kids now. They love it, and I like getting them excited about cooking. The other night we made these super yummy, healthy whole wheat pumpkin cookies from my new FAVORITE blog. The only change I made was adding a couple tablespoons of ground flax seed, and I did the butterscotch chips as well. As chief frugal officer of the home, I'm so stretching the grocery bill by incorporating a lot of our food storage. It is fun, easy, and way yummy with a lot of her ideas and recipes.
Gwen and Drake are wearing some of my grandma's old aprons. They love them!
I used to make dresses for Gwen with some of my old shirts, like the one below
It's been a while, but this morning I decided we weren't going to watch tv today. So after doing some visiting teaching, going to the park, reading, and cooking I ran out of things to do. So Gwen and I took a trip to my closet. This shirt I bought because it was way cute, but after the first wash, it was annoyingly obvious that the fabric was not cut on the grain. So I stopped wearing it because I didn't like the way it twisted. So I took in the sleeves, added a couple of tucks and put on a new collar, and voila! Gwen has a new dress.
Yay, she loves it!
