Walking again!

Yay for walking again! I'm excited and it's been going really well - - plus I have a friendly walking companion - LIAM! :)

Applesauce!

A friend of mine posted pics of her and her child making homemade applesauce, and so I wanted to try. I made a batch about a week ago and LOVED how it turned out. I shared with my parents and my grandma, and today I made some more. And this time, I took pics!

The "yuck" left after food-milling the boiled apples.

The baby that was VERY good during this process.

New Life V.2.0

Things are humongously different than they were a year ago.
My school days are spent with ONE little tiny child. This one:

His parents are both teachers.

I get to take my 3rd grader to school and LEAVE! and then go back and pick him up hours later.
I am making lots of cakes and other edibles for money.
I am on the Band Staff at our high school, which is actually fairly rewarding and it turns out I like high schoolers much better than I thought I would.
AND I went on a date last night with a guy met on LDSPlanet. I know. But - it went really well, and I had fun!

Jacob's been in Colorado visiting his dad all week and comes home tomorrow! I've been reorganizing/redecorating his "gameroom" all week. . . but I wish I was more done.

Now - time to entertain above mentioned baby and make a cake for his older brother's birthday!

New Life

This past Friday, I resigned from my teaching position. I finally became willing to admit that while I didn't know exactly what I WANTED to do with my life - career - wise, I knew for right now, it wasn't teaching public school. The decision-making was nearly excruciating, but the actual resigning was amazingly pain-free and it feels wonderful for FINALLY giving myself the benefit of the doubt that not only am I capable of figuring out who/what I want to be, but that I DESERVE to have or be whatever that is. :)

So. Stay tuned. :)

Rolls

I love how these turned out! I adapted a recipe from here.

I LOVE the summer. . .

I know I am not alone in this adoration, but when I saw the light coming in the window of my room, after picking out a couple RedBox movies with Jacob; after a long afternoon nap - I couldn't deny it!
