Our daughter loves learning and exploring. Recently she planted her very own starter garden. She planted a few seeds, cilantro, tomatoes, and strawberries. Together we watered her seeds and made sure they were getting enough sun during the day. Each day we observed and recently her strawberry seed sprouted. -She's been excited. We continue to observe and take notes.  {Planting cilantro seeds} {Some water for her seeds} {Her strawberry seed sprouted} Recently we worked on a little experiment together.  {Fireworks in a jar} -1 tablespoon of oil -A few drops of food coloring.

Simple  days are here. I enjoy the morning sunlight. The taste of grapefruit-these days I'm finding it delicious. Caring for my indoor plants has been enjoyable. Hanging laundry out when the sun is out and enjoying the cool breeze coming through an open window. Our daughter playing peacefully. My husband reading a good book. -I'm sure these are simple days and I'm enjoying them very much. Preparing my garden, watering our lawn, and birds chirping.-Spring is here and I've waited long enough. The nights are still chilly, but it's okay. -With warmer days ahead I'm one happy camper! Simple  days.-Iced lemonade, fresh watermelon blended, and food on the grill. -I'm happy and I hope the same goes for you. I wear my lulla belly belt so our little one can listen to music. I put my feet up, relax and sometimes even fall asleep while playing music for this baby in my tummy. It may not hear just yet, but we're always hap...

A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer.  ~Author Unknown This weekend led up to our daughter's 3rd birthday. We spent our time finishing up plans and discussing how we would spend her special day. On Sunday we opened presents early. I spent time in the kitchen baking her birthday cake. - Strawberry cake with strawberry whipped topping. - It was a hit! We presented her cake a day early since our plan was to take her to the Denver aquarium on Monday. We sang happy birthday and she blew out her candles. It was simple and sweet. I may have cried a little. Just the thought of knowing my little girl is growing, it saddens me a little. I've been embracing each day, each moment I spend with her. She blew out her candles and we shouted hooray! I'll hold on to these moments for as long as I live. April 7, 2014,  -Happy birthday sweet baby girl! (Of course, she will always be my baby). Our families called, wished our daughter a happy birthday and we...

“I glanced out the window at the signs of spring. The sky was almost blue, the trees were almost budding, the sun was almost bright.”  ―  Millard Kaufman ,  Bowl of Cherries ( sweet strawberry banana ice cream recipe at bottom of post) So far April has brought us some sunshine and snow. The snow didn't stick around for too long. This afternoon it all melted away. We're thankful that it did. -I'm so ready for actual spring weather. I just want to dip my toes in some cold water and sit out enjoying the breezy afternoon weather. We absolutely love sitting out back on our porch. We enjoy grilling, reading, bubble blowing and just relaxing out there. -It's all just so lovely.  Today I enjoyed my time indoors with my daughter. We played with legos, snacked on peanuts, ate sweet watermelon, and watched one of her favorite books on DVD. -A Snowy Day. It was perfect for the kind of weather we were experiencing. She hasn't stopped reminding me a...

Lately- We started on a few plants indoors. Our daughter enjoys watering and caring for them. Lately- I've purchased fresh flowers.  I love how flowers freshen up a room. Lately- I've been taking more time to care for my skin. I Apply moisturizer during the day and at night.  Lately- I've tried out a few beauty tips. Taking a lemon and applying sugar to the surface.  I  gently rub it against my lips. It's wonderful and your lips will thank you. :) I've also been applying slices of fresh cucumbers over my eyes when I'm resting.- It's so refreshing. Lately- Our daughter has been enjoying her time dancing, singing and just being free. Twirling in her tutu while wearing snow boots.- She's my little sunshine. Lately- I went shopping and picked up a few new items. Earrings, nail polish, a sheer breezy top and a new bracelet.  I've also enjoyed taking time out and soaking my feet. I've been using Tea Tree Oil gen...
