Saturday Summary

-
I haven't blogged any during the day because I knew I would have some more "bloggy" things to talk about later...so now that today is almost over...here goes! :)

I started off by making a yummy smoothie for breakfast this morning...2 kiwi, 2 banana, and what was salvageable of the mango I had left in the kitchen. (I had originally planned on making some kiwi banana bread, but I ran out of flour after making mango bread....
Anywho, I topped off my smoothie with a slice of cucumber (why didn't I add some of those? I have a good bit of cucumber...maybe tomorrow!) and a peppermint leaf.  It was pretty hahaha. :)

Then after watching some movies, doing some laundry, and starting the cupcakes...I made a passport cover!  While I was in France, I was wishing I had one because I liked to stick my boarding passes in the pages of my passport, and I was always afraid they would fall out in my purse and I'd have to dig for them.  So here's my solution for next time I travel (oh, and it keeps it from getting bent too!)



Like the elastic strap to keep everything in the cover?  (Inspired by this coffee coozie) And I made a small pocket in the back cover to tuck some cash or whatever in there.  The original idea was a pocket big enough for boarding passes, but then I realized the pocket would have to be the size of the passport itself! hahaha! :)  There are a few little tweaks I'd like to make to it if I make more!

After sewing the button in place, I finished up the cupcakes for the dinner party I went to tonight with some of the faculty and students in Motor Development.  I got the idea for these cupcakes off of one of the recipe websites a few months ago, and they were a hit when I made them for a Sunday School party.  The cupcakes are just white cake batter cupcakes.  The icing is one container of cool whip and one normal sized package of pudding mix (french vanilla is what I used), all mixed up. I spread a little icing on the cupcakes, then sliced strawberries and put a slice on top and a few blueberries...so they were red, white, and blue! :)


Yummy, yummy, yummy...good enough to eat for breakfast! :)

    Hi Wendy,
    Love your passport cover! I could use one of those. Any chance that you will add them to your etsy shop? (hint, hint!!) Hope you have a great 4th!

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin...

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

-

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
