She likes to wear her butterfly wings everywhere, unfortunately nylon butterfly wings aren't durable enough to wear everywhere. However, these wings could easily be worn down a slide, or on a swing.)q-bellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09657241217683534548noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490451462299296862.post-52446117514044124772010-06-04T10:03:00.000-07:002010-06-04T10:08:08.399-07:00Another fabric Flower Tutorial<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHLaSnVBZEaoObKryiSvQImmn364FIP9SrNfBsUd44wvg0S_zDPgOWcciA6ixstoiyH5DJkMsaucN_vSnTELGqfxrhA3rNRrfWIKzGM8HbQ88V7Bf-gx1NEiTCd59Z3oz1mvljTk81DTo/s1600/IMG_0207.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHLaSnVBZEaoObKryiSvQImmn364FIP9SrNfBsUd44wvg0S_zDPgOWcciA6ixstoiyH5DJkMsaucN_vSnTELGqfxrhA3rNRrfWIKzGM8HbQ88V7Bf-gx1NEiTCd59Z3oz1mvljTk81DTo/s400/IMG_0207.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478965517278195826" /></a>I love this <a href="http://heyjenrenee.blogspot.com/2010/03/fabric-flower-tutorial.html">tutorial</a>l from Hey!

He rarely follows a recipe, but everything turns out delicious. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit this skill. My Father, worried that his grand daughters were eating cereal for every meal, gave me this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/30-Minute-Recipe-Cooks-Illustrated-Magazine/dp/0936184981">cook book</a>. I can't say enough about this book, if I was you I would go out and buy it.

My family and I went to Josh's Aunts house for dinner, where his amazing cousin made dinner for everyone (Thanks again Megan!). She made this incredible <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/03/my_most_favorite_salad_ever_ever_ever_ever/">Asian Noodle Salad</a> and a fantastic <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/04/quiche/">quiche</a>. You can find both recipes on <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/">Pioneer Woman</a>. If you have never been to her blog then you should check it out, there are a ton of mouth watering recipes (Caution, her blog will make you hungry).B.T.W. I really loved that salad. I want to make it again for tonight.

First, my sweet hubby just got a great job and he starts on Monday (Hooray for prayer...truly). Then, Isabella lost her <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">blankie</span> (not just any old <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">blankie</span>, but the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">blankie</span> that she <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">desperately</span> needs to sniff in order to fall asleep. And yes, I did say sniff...don't judge). Lastly, a bunch of firefighters were running around my house today, because Isabella dead bolted herself in my room, and we don't have a key (try <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">explaining</span> to a 2 year old how to turn back the lock...pretty impossible.) <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Luckily</span>, we had just purchased <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Newman's</span> Own <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Oreo</span> cookies, and we were sliding them under the door to keep her calm. Also, we were able to get in without risking my deposit, which I take very seriously. Quincy was a champ and slept through all the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">excitement</span>, and is still trying to figure out how her sister got a plastic red fireman's hat. Josh took a picture on his phone, and I will be posting it soon. Whew! I told you that it has been an exciting week.<br /><br />Now, since my husband just got a fantastic job, I am feeling optimistic about <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">tackling</span> somethings on my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">wish list</span>. One of the things on my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">wish list</span> is to get some art. I've been searching on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Etsy</span> and fell in love with the shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/vol25">Vol25</a>.

Some other moms and I take turns teaching, using <a href="http://valuesparenting.com/">this</a> online curriculum. Over the last few weeks the children have been working on making a book that is all about them. Some examples of what you would find inside the books are; a self portrait, a picture of their family, things they like, and a silhouette. (Hooray! I was in charge of the silhouettes. I love stuff like this). It was so simple. I just took a picture of their profile, printed it (using economical and fast), traced the profile, cut out traced profile, traced cut out on black paper, and cut black paper. I glued the silhouette on colored paper because I wanted the inside of their books to be colorful, and I love it! I think that I have found a new addiction. I also used the blog <a href="http://inchmark.squarespace.com/inchmark/2010/3/25/silo-day-4.html">Inchmark</a> as a resource. She recently did a bunch of entries on silhouettes. She recommended adding eyelashes, and it was also helpful to compare her silhouettes to mine.q-bellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09657241217683534548noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490451462299296862.post-54288556666767380302010-04-11T22:01:00.000-07:002010-04-11T22:58:08.758-07:00How to Make Reusable Bowl Covers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFGq4JJ0QsGzCrxz1rp_aMtO0WwhICRwYT5BHujcxfA9yMPt4xIhddUtMeJz1iilLNzd7Ap_-RonFdggO4yM-fvFKuXGDTN8coEFlfI0MZfxaK4Ba-nLpzwYoG4ssavDsHepN9OoVCKuY/s1600/2010-02-bowlcover1_rect540.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459112097373942290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 310px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFGq4JJ0QsGzCrxz1rp_aMtO0WwhICRwYT5BHujcxfA9yMPt4xIhddUtMeJz1iilLNzd7Ap_-RonFdggO4yM-fvFKuXGDTN8coEFlfI0MZfxaK4Ba-nLpzwYoG4ssavDsHepN9OoVCKuY/s400/2010-02-bowlcover1_rect540.jpg" border="0" /></a> I have a wonderful sister-in-law (who is more like a sister). She is an amazing example: she loves to reuse items, upcycle, and has practically cleared her home of all paper products. I saw this project on <a href="http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/diy/how-to-make-reusable-bowl-covers-home-hacks--108447">Re-Nest </a>and thought of her.

I perfer to meet the day slowly, instead of in a mad rush. The other day I came across this recipe for a quick and healthy breakfast, and I knew that I had to try it.<br /><div>It is called Overnight Oatmeal. You throw everything together the night before and in the morning all you have to do is serve it with some fruit. I am happy to say that I made this breakfast for Easter and the whole family ate it. The recipe can be found on the <a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/345">Whole Foods Market</a> web site. I will also be trying Jamie Oliver's similar recipe for <a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=23629">Pukkolla</a>. I will tell you how it goes. </div>q-bellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09657241217683534548noreply@blogger.com0
