Finding Joy in the Details...


Panaderia Azteca is not but 5 joyful minutes down the street from us! Why did it take us so long to visit?  I will become a frequent flyer I am sure. Such deliciousness is baked with love every day. And so affordable! Even Cassidy, the girl who does not like sugar on most days and will not lick frosting off a cupcake, found a plain donut to enjoy. 


Coming back from our overnight date in Placerville, CA we stopped at Apple Hill. We picked up all sorts of goodies, including this lovely little apple peeler/corer. You can use any fruit or vegetable really that fits. We have tried pears and potatoes so far. Such joy on the girls' faces as they each took turns cranking an apple and watching the spirals.









Someone finally got to wear her leopard print vest from Aunt Kitty. It is cold enough now. And that is a joyful thing as we need the snow and rain! 





The Monsterfish exhibit at the museum starts this Friday! Here is a wee preview of what joyful monstrosities will grace the hallways. 



Merry Go Round anyone? Who knew Boomtown Family Fun Center was..fun? It really was! 



No words necessary.

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith, I am sure that bloggers across the world are firing away about a news piece gone viral today. http://gma.yahoo.com/k-e-diet-brides-using-feeding-tubes-rapidly-080053646--abc-news-health.html In case this link is non-existent by the time you read this, long story short, people are using feeding tubes for rapid weight loss in a short amount of time. This is your mother talking. If for some reason this ridiculous trend is still around when you grow up, and you think about doing this to your self, please know that I will spank you and put you in timeout. You do not diet to fit into a dress, or suit. You pick an outfit that highlights your best attributes and get it tailored to fit your body, not the other way around. No matter what size you are, as long as your are healthy, not putting toxins into your body, and exercising, whatever size you are is beautiful and perfect in God's eyes because God does not make mistakes.
