I am eating food I like. I have twice now had my favorite sandwich-- a caprese sandwich, which is fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh mozzerella (yes, the wiggly kind) all sliced and layerd on crusty french bread, and then drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, topped with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Oh my yum.
Okay, so the "fun mom" update. I have been successful thus far. Last night's "fun mom" project was a "Shoe Project." (Sounds fun already, huh?) The kids gathered all the shoes from all the various closets around the house, we tried all the shoes on them, got rid of too small/set aside too big shoes, and re-organized them in the downstairs coat closet, since that's where they all end up anyway. Nia thought this was great fun. She liked being in charge. (Apple doesn't fall far from the tree...)
Here's a pic of the success we had:
Today's "fun mom" project is called, "Clean the Kitchen." And if we get through that with a bit of sucess, we'll move on to "Sort the Laundry," and then, "How to Use a Washing Machine."
Also, I want to roll out a new blog feature on The Life and Times of the Mangine Five (TLATOTM5 ). I am calling it Twofer Tuesdays. I had such fun rolling out my Top Five Addictions last week, that I decided to do two "Top 5" lists every Tuesday. So, be watching, because "Twofer Tuesdays" are probably going to rock your world with the amount of random, useless knowledge you will have about me.
