Stuff






My sister's Apron, her Birthday is on Cinco De Mayo it's one of my 11 siblings b-days I DON'T forget.

Macaroons. You have to know I haven't had any candy or treats made of corn syrup for 3 weeks (except for small bits of dessert at parties and mother's day celebrations). I LOVE coconut and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chocolate so I got these great Natural Coconut Flakes and to my great Happiness the chips we are addicted to (mostly me and Spen, we sneak them for treats at night) Ghittard...are the most natural version of chips we have found so we are stikin to them.


this a picture that Hannah this cute 7 year old I watch took of the strawberries I was cutting up. I LOVE our new way of eating-you know the way Heavenly Father wants us to Eat and LIVE and for an Italian American girl who loves to bake. I am thrilled to be eating Whole Foods and enjoying Food instead of processed chemicals. I asked Kate what healthy foods to we should put on our list for shopping tomorrow and this is her list................
Apples
Grapes
Carrots
Cherries
Strawberries
Cantaloupe
Pickles
and the candy treat with fruit that you put in our church bag (fruit leather)
That is the best list I have ever heard. She's such a great girl. I am happy that the girls are adapting to this new way of living and I think they will enjoy living in Madison for all it's Farms and the Amish and Farmer's Markets.

This is Spencer's Great Grandma's Quilt and I am going to replicate it. It has 14 colors with 12 blocks of each color. I took the pics to Eugenia and she made a pattern. So we'll get started soon. I am still working on the cutest bag and the booties. I am loving Crochet soooo much.




This was Eugenia's Mama Day present from me to hold her Ganchos (crochet hooks) in. It was fun and easy.


Ciao

  1. What a fun post! I love the pretty apron. Jess normally looks more like Spencer to me, but looks so much like you to me in the roller skating picture. I love how Kate paired up her dolls to dance. You'll have to fill me in on your new eating ways... I need some motivation to start some healthier habits when we return to the U.S.!
