Last week my little girl turned 6. I'm am totally amazed at the wonderful little girl she is becoming but in all honesty it is happening way way too fast.
We originally planned to celebrate Payton's birthday with a big birthday carnival... Then I checked the weather, then it rained, then I changed most of my plans. Luckily almost everything dried up prior to Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16857105630441236229noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890636542180113094.post-46546424315738777662013-06-28T07:04:00.000-07:002013-06-28T07:04:05.974-07:00For the upcoming holiday Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16857105630441236229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890636542180113094.post-81696208435150959032013-06-27T06:30:00.000-07:002013-06-27T06:30:20.860-07:00Happy Birthday Preston!
Happy Birthday!
Dear Preston,
It’s funny when I usually think about writing letters like these my mind is flooded with what to write. Today I am short of words.
Today you are officially a big boy! You’re 4 now that’s a big boy! Now that you are a big boy this potting thing is a must! Happy Birthday little man. I love you! Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16857105630441236229noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890636542180113094.post-54466583627628289432013-06-18T07:04:00.000-07:002013-06-18T07:04:00.928-07:00What I learned in my first 30 days as a Scentsy consultant
It has been just over thirty day since I started selling Scentsy! So far I can say this is going to be an awesome ride. I have already learned so much; I have learned a lot about the direct sales business, about people and about myself. I am going to share some of what I have learned in my first 30 days as a Scentsy consultant.

Earlier this month my big girl finished Kindergarten...
I know it is so cliche but it seems just like yesterday she was going to school! Looking like this and wanting to be a baker:
A lot has changed in the past 180 (school)days... She now wants to be a vet and hates the color purple just to name a few. As a mom I wanted to document these changes.

We've been off cow milk for almost a year around here. We drink almond. For along time I have been unhappy with the amount of additives in our milk whether cow, soy or almond.
Then the other day I hopped on Pinterest to browse around and to my surprise one of the people I was following had pinned all sorts of homemade almond milk recipes and ideas. Then there was a light bulb...&Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16857105630441236229noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890636542180113094.post-54941414653855391712013-04-22T06:29:00.002-07:002013-04-22T06:29:59.300-07:00My favorite summer drink
I love watermelon like seriously I could drink/eat it every day! The watermelon guy at the farmers market knows me too well! We get 3 or 4 a week. Yep you read that right we are watermelon FREEKS around here. One of our favorite ways to have it is as a slushy.
Have you ever made a watermelon shush? It might be the easiest summer drink you can make.

I am a huge fan of smoothies. And at the will of my families taste buds I will try them all on them. We have had some amazingly delicious drinks and some that didn’t make it to a third sip. This week though we created an amazing drink that reminded me of an orange cream. Please keep in mind this smoothie recipe is about a full blender.

Love egg salad? Hate all the fat from the mayo? Say hello to the avocado! Seriously, it is delicious. Tastes just like the traditional with a hint of avocado. We all know mayo is loaded with FAT! So lets cut some of it...
This egg salad is super easy just replace your mayo with an avocado. I did add about a tea spoon of mayo just to make it cream up but thats all!

I colored an egg also. Mine was colored with one of my favorite beverages red wine.
Simple as can be I took the egg and placed it in a cup of wine. Let it sit about 20 minutes and it came out an awesome red orange. I am super proud!

For Christmas this year I made pillow mats for my 3 nephews. I found all sorts of tutorials on Pinterest but nothing that I thought was that great. I wanted to personalize these mats and make them totally awesome! Each of the mats I made are completely different and have my nephews names stitched onto it.

I have been described as crunchy or a natural mamma but co-sleeping has never been my (our) thing. Sure we have woken up numerous times with one, two or three children sharing our queen bed with us, but we have never “co-slept” in its full sense. When our babies now 5,3 and 2 were little I always liked the idea but couldn’t get past being scared.

A few months back I posted that I had received a scary and life changing diagnosis. It has taken me a while to write this post. I haven’t blogged about my diagnosis yet.

Why am I so interested in whats happening on My Little Pony? I’ll tell you why... It has been a rough start to the week. I’m not going to lie I have had little motivation to get going in the morning. We have had one sick kiddo after another. Last night I clung to the side of the bed while my 5 year old made her sneezy, coughing, booggery self comfortable. My husband slept like a baby!
