Happy Anniversary Love

Today is Steve's and my wedding anniversary.  We've been married for five wonderful years.  I have loved each moment that I've gotten to share with this man.  He is an amazing man.  I think it is a great blessing when you can look up to your husband easily and submit to his plans and ideas because you've seen his integrity and wisdom.  Yeah, he forgets that Gdiapers get put on differently than regular diapers but in the grand scheme of things that is something I'm prepared to live with and even laugh at.

So, here's to my wonderful husband and to falling even further in love. Love you Steve.

Butter!

Have you ever come across something that sounded too easy.  "If it were really that easy why don't more people do it?" you ask yourself, and then that nagging thought creeps in..."why don't I try it?"   This was my experience when I first read how to make butter.  All you do is pour heavy whipping cream into a mason jar to about the half way mark, put a lid on the jar and then shake.  THAT'S IT!  And that nagging thought, oh yeah it won out and I made butter!

You have to shake the heavy whipping cream for awhile and then like magic the butter milk and butter separate.  Make sure to squeeze out the butter milk or your butter will go bad faster.  Plus, if you like salt in your butter you can mix it in after you separate it from the milk.  so easy and everyone will be surprised that something so simple worked.

The Best Toys for the Price

I am a very privileged mom.  I have a mother-in-law who loves to shop and loves to pick up toys for her grandson.  But the best privilege of all is watching N play in the can goods.  It cracks me up every time.  He likes the baby food section the most, and while I am cooking or just need to make a latte he is there pulling out cans, boxes of croutons, and tuna packets.

He is there so much that I have started putting some of his toys away with the cans just so he can play with those as well.  Love it!

 
Another great toy is an old cell phone.  This one no longer works but Nolan loves it. :)
