Pumpkin Patch

By

What fun we had! Lil Man wasn't that impressed with the pumpkin patch, but he seemed to love the corn maze. He kept peeking through the stalks to try to see what was on the other side. It was beyond cute.
I love fall and watching my Lil Man explore life.
However, his 'exploring' has got us into trouble a time or two. Once, in a store that I will not mention, in a time that I will not add, Lil Man pushed the 'alarm' button in the elevator. A voice came over the intercom. What did I do? I did what any self respecting mother would do. I grabbed him up as quickly as I could and physically ran out of the elevator and store, then tried to act/walk naturally to my car.
Today, at the grocery store, as I was holding the door open for an elderly lady, while holding my squirming son on my hip, thankfully out of the corner of my eye, I spied his hand. Yes, that ever reaching, ever wanting to touch and feel hand was resting on the FIRE ALARM! I grabbed it as he was starting to pull it down. Whew, crisis averted. If this continues, I may have to find another place to grocery shop!

2 Weeks Post Mohs Surgery

By
May 26, 2021 3:40pm  Finally, the phone call that I'd been waiting on. It was the Medical Center. ( Finally, we can schedule my surgery. ) She tells me who she is, and then tells me that she has a cancellation for tomorrow. ( Me stammering... )  "Ok, but I was thinking the end of June."   Then I hear "We just had a moment to look at your file. We really don't think that you should wait. We really think you should come in tomorrow at 8:15am" ( Me stammering again ) "Ok, I'll be there."  Wait, what? My mind is all over the place. I'm supposed to work. How am I going to get our son to school? Will my husband be able to go with me on such short notice. I expected this to be the end of June, not tomorrow. I'm not prepared! I was overcome with emotion.  May 26, 2021 Surgery Day I woke up at 1am with a horrible headache. By the time we arrived at the surgery center, I was definitely a bundle of nerves. I got checked in, went through the usual ...

Ecosak Nylon Nut Bag Review

By
I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature. Well, can you believe that I am trying out a nut bag to make my own almond milk? (I'll pause a moment so that you can let the shock wear off!) I can honestly say that never in my life did I intend on making my own almond milk. But as you know, we are making some changes to our diet. So I decided I would give it a try.  And with the Ecosak I also received some recipes which really helped since I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do. I asked Lil Man if he wanted to help me, and he was more than thrilled. Apparently making almond milk was an exciting and fun thing for him. First things first was to wash the Ecosak (easy to do) and soak the nuts. Yep, I put some raw almonds in a bowl, covered them with water and let them soak 6-8 hours or so. After they had been soaked, I...

Window Bird Feeder By Yellow Beaks

By
Lil Man has been beside himself since the Clear Window Bird Feeder by Yellow Beaks arrived in the mail. He couldn't wait to get it up and outside. He's very anxious for the birds to come. I wasn't sure how the suction cups would hold up. I've never, in the past, had much luck with any type of suction cup. But so far it's been a week with varying temperature changes, and the suction cups are holding strong. The construction seems sturdy, and it looks to be well-made. It also will be easy to clean out. I know with bird feeders they can get a little yucky sometimes, but this will be easy to remove, spray out and clean up.  So far the birds haven't visited us yet. Our neighbor has several bird feeders and he is keeping all of the birds over there (ha). But Lil Man is checking daily, sometimes multiple times a day, for a bird. So I can't report how the birds like the feeder, but I have to say that we honestly do.  You can find the Wind...
