This is the bottom right square of Lily special quilt. It says “Smell the flowers along the way…” and I really hope Lily takes that to heart. Stopping to enjoy the moment is so important and overlooked in our culture.

A quick outfit change
My little mechanic
And for fun here’s Lily 1 year ago. It is simply amazing how much change can happen in 1 little year.
Little boy blue
This is the middle right square of Lily’s special quilt. I believe Rita told me that all the grandkid’s quilts share a few features and this boy is one of them.
A snippet
Here’s a snippet of our daily life.
Waldo was hanging out with Lily when I went to do the dishes. I walked into the living room to ask a question and found the two of them in front of Waldo’s computer getting ready to watch Yo Gabba Gabba. Waldo wanted to see what Lil would think of the bright colors and what not. Apparently the real person host was singing a bubble song and blowing bubbles. Waldo asked me to grab the bubble solution from the other room. As the host blew bubbles so did I. It was interactive tv to the max.
Time for myself
Like most if not all the Mama’s out there I need to take more time for myself and take better care of myself. I used to take bubble baths that I spiked with lovely scents and had a lot of fun making bath salts and other yummy bath goodies. I need to break out my recipes and make some more bath fizzies and face scrubs.
I haven’t made any yummy bath goodies yet but tonight I decided to start small. We just bought a big bag of baking soda from Costco so I went and got a little cup of it and took it in the shower with me. I mixed some of my face cleaner with the baking soda and scrubbed away. My face is so nice and smooth right now, I love it.
Baking soda is a wonderful natural do-it-all product. Like I said I mixed some with my face cleaner tonight. I’ve also use some mixed with a little honey as a great face scrub. Oh a little bit mixed with a couple of un-coated aspirin make a great pore cleaning mask. I could go on and on about this, I won’t today but look for more in the future.
