Hello Friday!

Apr 27

It’s FINALLY Friday! Toodie went back to school today after a long week of coughs, sniffles, restless nights, and endless popsicles. She still has a bit of a cough but is back to bouncing around and being her normal self. That was one long virus that dragged out. At least I will be able to catch up on my rest this weekend and re-charge. Time to gather my thoughts and get back to blogging. All I have been thinking about it sleep, sleep, and more sleep. Not the most interesting or entertaining thing to write about.
On another random note, do you ever hear a really good song on the radio and you just can’t get it out of your head? Every time I get in my car this song is on. At first I had no clue who it was, never heard of the singer, and honestly thought it must have been one of those old songs they are trying to bring back. You know, those songs that you hear your mom singing in the shower from her old high school prom days. Guess I was wrong because it’s fairly new and pretty catchy! It’s a nice change from all of the mainstream music that they constantly play on all of the radio stations here. It gives off that hippie vibe. I feel like I’m a love child when I am listening to it. Too bad I don’t have any incense to burn.
Well enough of my Friday morning rambling. See what happens when I get no sleep! I hope that everyone in the blog-o-sphere has an amazing weekend filled with excitement.  

Signing off with a thought of the day 
(something i heard on the radio as well) 

“Never ignore someone who cares for you because someday you will realize that you lost a diamond while you were busy collecting stones”

Wordless Wednesday: Pretty Nails

Apr 25

 
Victoria was feeling much better last night and asked me to paint her nails.  Her nails are so tiny! It only takes me a few minutes to get them done. At first she chose pink but since that didn’t come out very pretty she kindly requested her favorite color… “RED!” I never knew she had a favorite color until this week. She must have told me a dozen times that her favorite color was red. I really didn’t mind what color she chose, I was just happy she was finally feeling better and back to being my happy girl.

Sicky Poo Sunday

Apr 22

Today is “Sicky Poo Sunday” in our house. Toodie woke up last night throwing up everywhere. I knew that getting sick was inevitable with her starting school and being exposed to so many germs. I just didn’t think it would creep up on me out of nowhere. After a hot bath and a little TLC we cuddled until she fell back asleep. It was a rough night and she woke up every hour tossing around. I don’t think either of us got very much sleep. This morning wasn’t any exception. With a stuffy nose, runny eyes, and a bad cough she has been moping around all day. Even though she isn’t feeling well she sure didn’t pass up on a little ice cream. Doesn’t ice cream seems to make everything better?

Recycling Broken Crayons

Apr 21

Ever wonder what exactly to do with all of those broken crayon pieces scattered around your house? Most of the time I just pick them up and throw them out because I am so tired of stepping on them everyday. Toodie has tons of crayons but within a week they end up mutilated and destroyed. I even find them in her clothing hamper! I can’t even say how many times I have washed crayons with her laundry.  After searching for crafts on Pinterest I found a new use for those crayons pieces without a home. Instead of tossing them RECYCLE! You can make your own chunky crayons at home.

Make sure to peel off all of the paper from the crayons. Collect all of the broken pieces and keep them in a jar or tupperwear container until you have enough of each color. If you want to make giant rainbow crayons, you can just throw all of the colors in together. Don’t worry about sorting. For the molds you can use disposable baking pans or rubber silicone shape molds. Once you have enough pieces you can begin with the five easy steps below.

1- Turn on your oven to 300 degrees

2- Spray the inside of the mold lightly with cooking spray to allow the crayons to be removed easily. (optional)

3- Fill the molds with the broken crayon pieces. Here is where you can sort like colors together or mix them together for the rainbow effect. Experiment and have fun.

4- Place into the oven and wait until all of the crayons are visibly melted. It only takes about 10 minutes.

5- Remove and allow to cool before popping them out of the tray.

Wordless Wednesday: Hello World!

Apr 18

“Hello World, I’m here!“
This was one of MANY photos I took of Toodie when she first entered the world.
It has always been my favorite because it looks like she is waving to everyone. 
Knowing her sassy self now she could really be saying “Talk To The Hand Mom!”
If I could only go back to the past and hold her one more time this small.
