ten on ten - January 2013

My Girl was up before me and made breakfast! Blueberry pancakes!

In an effort to cut back on my coffee consumption, I chose a warm cup of chai this morning.

and then shortly thereafter had a warm latte. :) Baby steps . . .

a yummy lunch!

A clean kitchen sink! My Love does the majority of the dishes around here, but today I made an effort to have no dishes in the sink when he came home from work!

I went out solo with the kiddos today! We needed just a few items at the grocery store.

Back home with a few items to tide us over until next week, and pretty flowers to brighten the kitchen!

A little snack to munch on as I prepared dinner.

A break to nurse the little babe.

All the babies in bed, time for a little letter writing!

ten on ten - December 2012

The morning didn't start out so well. Bébé and I both had a meltdown before 10AM. We sat in the nursing chair for quite a while before I decided I would just do what I had to do with a fussy babe.

We attempted laundry . . . After 3 separate attempts, it was all folded and put away.

We have an abundance of greens from our CSA share, so lunch was a beautiful kale salad for me, grilled cheese for the kiddos. I adapted a recipe in Kris Carr's newest book Crazy Se*y Kitchen. It was so delicious! We also had some yummy green juice with our lunch.

Snack time. I finally made a batch of homemade cranberry bliss bars the other day. They turned out to be really good! I froze some today for later snacking. :)

A little computer work while Bébé napped in my lap. (She is currently doing just that as I type this!)

Today was a good mail day! This sticker I ordered for our van, was tucked in the mailbox, along with two Christmas cards! :)

Dinner was a delicious Curried Lentil Soup with Sweet Potatoes and Bacon. (with collards added from our CSA share) The recipe is from the book - Keep It Seasonal by Annie Wayte . . .

The view from my bed as I laid down to nurse little Bébé . . .

So glad the day turned around for the better!

ten on ten - September 2012

♥ I cheated a little and took this last picture this morning. Anniversary flowers from My Love. 14 carnations. One for each year of marriage. ♥

This was a particularly rough day preceeded by a night of insomnia, followed with a toddler waking before 7AM, said-toddler choking, and cutting up good coupons,and general life upsets. But you wouldn't know it from the pictures.

Life is good . . . All the time . . .

All the time . . . God is good . . .

ten on ten - July 2012

Quiet on the patio before everyone else is awake . . .

Morning Table . . . (regretfully that pretty little Bible wasn't even opened before the kiddos woke up.)

Cleaning the bathroom. A chore that was moved from yesterday. I loathe cleaning bathrooms and washing dishes. Sign me up for all the laundry in the world though! I love doing laundry!

Breakfast clean up and washing all our new mason jars . . . this chore was not actually completed until much later in the day, because as stated above, I LOATHE washing dishes! ha!

Lunch table. - Baby Boy had already run off by now.

Ugh! Measuring for a new nursing bra. Prep for baby's arrival in approximately 14 weeks!

A pretty little project . . .

Making bread for supper . . .

Labeling the jam I canned on Saturday. You can find these pretty printable labels HERE

A pretty blue kitchen timer! A gift from My Love, delivered today! :)

Blueberry pancakes!

Morning latte, decorated with a flower made in the foam by My Girl!

Fun making towers with books.

I got the sewing bug . . . and I truly prefer knitting. Sewing always frustrates me so!

After the thread breaking once, having to re-wind a bobbin and a quick lunch break . . .

Viola! A skirt made out of an old dress, and tank top following this tutorial. I've used this tutorial in the past with great success!

Trying desperately to hold off buying maternity pants! (Another reason to sew the above skirt! ;)

Off to pick up our farm fresh milk!

Afternoon delight . . . air-popped popcorn, iced maple latte (look for the recipe tomorrow!) and knitting!

Dinner was a little late tonight, but no less delicious. Salmon is a family favorite around here. Even my 2 1/2 year old devours it! Mmm . . .

P.s. Thought I might add for those interested, a link to the Photoshop actions I have been using and loving lately. They are offered free from the delightful blog GOODKNITS. So fun! I think I've pinned quite a few of her projects on Pinterest. :) Have a look, and enjoy!
