Lilyisms

I’ve decided that along with lotions, lip balms, heel balms, toothpaste and other body products I wanted to make soap. So my pinterest pins have almost all been soap related lately and I’ve done a lot of video watching of soap making in the last few weeks. Yesterday was my first attempt at soap making and it’s still in the works so I don’t know how it turned out.

Yesterday at breakfast before the Great Soap Adventure started Lily looked at me started the following conversation.

Lil – Mom do you know what I want to be when I get older.

Me – Nope, please tell me.

– A doctor (as per usual) and after that a pet seller (again the usual) and after that a soap maker.

– Oh really, you want to make soap? That’s very cool, well you can certainly help me with the safer parts of the soap process today.

Alright not the most exciting conversation ever to be recorded on the great innerwebs, but I liked it.

Catching up again

I haven’t been posting much lately for a whole host of reasons. I have been busy with home-preschool (posts to follow at some fricking point), holidays (posts to follow about this too), work (you don’t need a post about this boring stuff), deaths (so sad and posts to come about this too) and because of the deaths lots of trips to California (posts and pictures galore about this). Beyond being busy with life I think I’ve also been a bit depressed, which is a new thing for me. I’m working on getting past the depression or whatever it is and in the two or so weeks since I first started this post I’m doing much better. I think working on this here piece of the innerweb of mine will help that too. I love seeing all of the fun that I have with my family put down to paper…er keyboard and looking back at it later.

The point of all of this is to say that you can look forward to picture posts from over the last year published randomly.  My goal is to keep you guessing what season/holiday you’ll see next.

I have been going through my pictures lately and I’m astonished at all of the pictures that have never been uploaded and I’m going to remedy that.  So let the fun begin.

Random Mobile Shots

I guess the best way to start posting is to post so I figured I’d start with my standard Friday Random Mobile post.  These pictures are from the last few weeks.

Hot chocolate

Lily needed to potty so we ran into a coffee shop and I felt weird about not buying anything so I got a hot chocolate that Lil and I shared. And by share I mean that she drank 90% of it of course.

Homemade pizza

We love food and eating out is our favorite past time. Lately we have been working on eating out less to save money and for health reasons. I love cooking and making things from scratch is one of my favorite things to do so that’s what we’ve been concentrating on the last few weeks.  I made a super easy pizza crust and used some frozen sauce I made a while ago and we had crazy awesome pizza.

Lil doesn’t like red sauce so we use ranch on hers.

Kitty nursing her 'litter'

Lily decided that Kitty needed to feed her babies.

And more decided that looked good and joined in.

Our new ride

We bought a new car. Well car type thing really.

Our new ride

A brand new 2014 Honda CRV. We love it.

Waldo really didn’t want me to take this picture.

Back in the saddle

I’m finding it very hard to get back in the saddle so to speak with blogging. For a while after my miscarrage it was hard to post because I hadn’t written my loss post and also because I just didn’t have a lot to say. Now that I’ve written my loss post I still don’t have much to say. I mean things are happening in our lives that really should be posted about; Halloween pumpkin patch, trick or treating, a trip to California, what prompted that trip, home preschooling; I just can’t seem to get out my head long enough to type anything. A wee bit of depression is probably the main issue, but I think we can’t dismiss my natural laziness. I have pictures upon pictures to post and things to say so I’m going to try and get back on the horse and start posting again. I’m hoping that this post will inspire me. We’ll see, but it’s always good to have hope.

Hmmm, I was going to add a picture of Lily right here to close the post, but I’m so far behind that I don’t even have any recent pictures on Flickr, so just imagine a picture of Lil.
