Mother's Day at Cabela's


Where on earth did I get a sassy child?!?!?!


"What? I'm eating, OK?"

SO CUTE - both of them!


Is she cool, or what?

Yes, I did request to go to Cabela's for Mother's Day. We call it "The Stuffed Animal Zoo." A cheap place to watch Ruth be cute! Ruth and I shared a Roasted Ostrich Wrap, and the four of us shared a basket of fries.

By the way, Shalom is eating these days. We are sticking to orange foods right now. Sweet potato, carrots and pumpkin. She loves them.

In the last month, I have become a penny-pinching Mama! Instead of going to Sam's to buy laundry soap, I have started making my own laundry soap and - are you ready for this - it actually cleans Josh's grungies! All it is is two bars of Irish Spring ($7?? for 20 bars), shredded and melted in hot water, added to 4 gallons of hot water that has a cup of Borax ($3?? for 76 oz.) and a cup of Washing Soda ($2?? for a box) in it. Add all that together, and you have 5 gallons of laundry soap for REALLY cheap!

I have also started making bread with a sourdough starter. GOOD BREAD! And...drum roll, please...it can be made with spelt flour, oats, and or cornmeal! That means I can make homemade bread that Josh can eat!

That's all for this past month. Now that I have our camera back, I will be taking MANY more pictures to share with you all!

That is a sassy face! Surely she didn't get that from you!

I think she got it from her Aunt Nette!

She says Debi and Nette now whenever she looks at the picture of you two!

Oh, that's so sweet! I'm so happy.

She may have gotten a little sass from me, but I believe most of it comes from you!
