Beautiful Ballerina

Well... it was our 3rd ballet recital in the life of Goosie. It was wonderful! She smiles/No, BEAMS on stage. I love watching every second of her life. I love her excitement, curiosity, and beauty. I'm so fortunate to have resilient children!

Happy Father's Day, Honey!

We love you so very much!!!!
You are an amazing father to our children!

Cake... YUM!

Our sweet neighbor had a birthday this past weekend. I was so lucky to celebrate it with her and another dear friend. I have to say... I have GREAT neighbors! We sat on the patio with Mai Tai's, snacks and cake and sun! Mrs. Tricia loves the sun and fun so I had an excuse to make the "flip flop" cake! Happy Birthday, Mrs. Tricia!

We're baking again...

Pizza that is... a weekly tradition to yank that heavy baking stone from the cabinet and warm it in a cold oven.
I'm totally addicted and the Mr. swears there is no other pizza for him.
The kid's version: pepperoni and mozzerella
The adult version: chicken, basil, and goat cheese
I'll be back after I find a napkin!

Sweet donation!

This tutu is going for a very special cause!!! I'm so excited to donate a tutu set for dear friends of ours that we admire so very much! Our friend Jay is a 3+ year survivor of cancer. He and his wife, Jessica, recently completed a marathon in San Diego!!!! To help support their endeavor they are having a "Trivia Night" so here is the latest tutu that is going to be auctioned to support all their hard work!!!

Food Journal

Well... I have decided that it's time to start the food journal, again. I need some accountability so I'm writing down everything I eat and drink. I've lost 3.5 pounds this week so far. Plus, I'm tracking my exercise. I have been a bit lazy in that department as well.
We are looking into the Mediterranean diet. It is supposed to help RA patients. I have noticed an increase in "flares" when I eat carbs so let's hope this transition works.
Last nights dinner was so yummy!!! Sauteed chicken and mushrooms over a bed of lettuce and couscous surrounded by fresh cucumbers. I could eat like this everyday!

Bounced Back!

I bounced back rather quickly from this week's dose of methotrexate. I believe the reason why is because the Mr. was home and I gave in and simply rested. I have a tutu to finish for a wonderful auction/trivia night we are attending soon! I hope it sells as well as the one I did for Goosie's school!! It goes for a great cause and great people!!!

Latest Tutu order... a green dream

The latest order has been prepared and ready for delivery! Blogger wouldn't let me update yesterday... ugh!
Enjoy the pictures!
More projects to come!

WHEW!

We did tons of landscaping this week. I get the weekend off since the Mr. is working the entire weekend... never thought I'd be happy that he's working and the projects are delayed :).
It's Friday and I get to clean the three toilets and a few tubs and showers... and... fulfill a tutu order. Which means, making fun for a little girl!
