Day 1...Here we go again!

Time for school lunches again! Onion bagel with vegetable cream cheese, half an apple, trail mix of goldfish, peanuts, & fruit leather, and a windmill gingerbread cookie. I'll miss my little stinkers while they eat lunch at school! :(

Tomatoes

It's a happy day when you get to eat colorful tomatoes! Thank you Bradbury's!

Zucchini Cake

When you have lots of this...

You make this...

We have one zucchini plant this year, plus our awesome neighbor Nedd brings us veggies. We love it! And my cousin brought me a BIG zucchini yesterday. I suppose I should make some bread and muffins, too. One cake isn't gonna cut it! Happy harvest!

Snicker doodles



We're making snicker doodles for my cousin Katherine's wedding. I love the recipe in the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. As a matter of fact, most every recipe I've tried from it has been fabulous. It's definitely my go to. Pray it doesn't rain tomorrow for Kat's outdoor reception!

Drink more water!

This is my new system for making sure I drink enough water. I fill it up my 4 cup water bottle at the beginning of the day, then try to stay on track with the times I've written on the side. Between 7am and 2pm I drink 4 cups, then I refill and drink another 4 cups between 2pm and 10pm. It really helps me! And it's made me realize how little water I've been drinking in the past. Drink up!
