One Of Those Days

You know those days when you have to drag yourself out of bed,
it's raining {again. still?},
your little one is working on getting teeth, and is miserable,

you have to grocery shop, and it takes you more than two hours,
plus another hour to put it all away when you get home,
and it's just . . . just . . . one of those days?

Me neither.

But, if I did . . .

I'd make one of these:
{you know, just to cheer me up.  Because food cheers me up, what can I say?}



Orange Creamsicle
{cubes of ice, a splash of cream, orange soda,
stir it all together, add some whipped cream, and sprinkles, and voila!}

Come to think of it, it's pretty delicious on a good day too.

And the little lovies . . . they think it's somethin' special.

{No real oranges were used in the making of this drink. 
It is not healthy in any way. 
You're welcome}

{Almost} Wordless Wednesday ~ Pink Drinks

The girls are always talking me into making some sort of fancy drink for them.

The other day, we came up with this:

♥ Pink Lemonade with a splash of 7 Up. 

♥ Stir in a touch of heavy cream,

♥ add a handful of mini marshmallows

♥ and a sprinkling of pink sugar crystals, and voila!

{I'm not so good at wordless}

Project 52: Week 6 ~ Drink Up!

Well, I'm just going to tell you right now, that my photos for Project 52 keep getting worse :( 
Be warned.

In my defense, though . . . well, actually, I don't have a defense.  We're just really busy here getting ready for vacay {yay!}, homeschooling, errands, and life's basics. 

Side story:

We were visiting friends last week, and got into this very discussion {about things being crazy busy right now}, and I worked up the nerve to ask if it was just me or if  the 6-12 month stage is a little . . . exhausting for anyone else.  Now.  Do not get me wrong.  I LOVE this age.  I do.  But Tay is going through a bit of a trying time right now.  She's not real content.  I truly believe that she sees her big sissies running around, playing, having fun, and wants so badly to join them.  Add to that the fact that on the very rare instances that I can set her down for a few minutes, she's into EVERYTHING.  Miss Priss can army crawl like nobody's business.  And her index-thumb dexterity is seriously amazing.  She can spot little Barbie shoes and hair clips from a mile away, scoot her little booty over to them, and grab 'em up, pop 'em in her mouth, all in about 1.3 seconds.  You gotta watch this one like a hawk, I tell ya.  So by the end of the day . . . well, I'm completely worn out.

Wow.  Long side story.  All that to say ~ not a lot of time to pick up the camera for anything more than a snap these days ;)

Here we go . . .

Week 6 ~ Drink On Up, Y'all!

Yesterday we did a little grocery shopping, and thought we deserved a little treat.

Vanilla Beans from Starbucks . . .



They don't last long around here.
