reflecting on various topics
Yesterday we celebrated my oldest’s birthday 🙂 The kids had brought home some flowers from school, which I thought were so pretty! Alex made pizza. I made pound cake, which was had with vanilla ice cream and berries. Both kids whooped us at Go Fish! I’m so grateful right now. Treasuring small memories and moments. …
We celebrated my precious dad’s birthday the next day, which was delightful, and provided another reason to bake cake, which is fun. I tried a new recipe for vanilla cake, and then made strawberry buttercream for the inside, and raspberry buttercream for the outside. I’m so glad we could be together. ♥️
🐇 The kids and A went to church in the morning, then we had an egg hunt. My parents and brother came over :). Made a turkey. It turkied. I tried out a new recipe for vanilla pound cake. I managed to bake it, at least part of the time, with the oven off, so …

Sometimes it transports me to the past, and I remember what it was like when I first heard them in middle school. Today I pictured myself in an old-folks home, …
The past few days, the kids and I have been making valentines together. (cutting hearts out of art paper and water coloring them) drying added a dum-dum how they turned out (Also I now have Valentine Nails!) (You can’t really see it, but there are heart-shaped cherries on my toes!) Hope you’re ok.
Today the sun came out and it was so beautiful. It rained some but then stopped. I love water droplets on things.
