Rolled Oat Blueberry Scones

The texture is definitely not the same as regular scones, but they are yummy!

Narnia Reading Challenge!

This reeks of a small group project...I think I know what my HS girls will be doing this summer :) 

Who else is in?

"Dear Prudence"

...or Avery. Sorry, I didn't have the heart to name you Prudence because it's just not a name I like, but it fits for the song and currently there is not a "Dear Avery" song. One day...

Last night, after feeling fluttering for the past couple of weeks, you actually kicked or punched or tossed around and your daddy felt you. Thank you that most precious gift.

This morning, I can still feel you moving about and I believe it's you reminding me that you're here, but not here. It's the now and not yet phenomenon. You're here and I'm hoping that I'm living life okay here on the outside so that you are well protected on the inside. I still can't imagine you here though - live! That will be another life-changing experience and I'm looking forward to finally meeting you face-to-face. I wonder if I'll cry, laugh, or just be astonished that you actually exist.

I believe in you, with my whole heart I believe in you and love you, but to see you in person, tangible, your tiny little hand waving about - that is a whole other extraordinary world.

Cakes of a Potato

I made my first batch of potato pancakes and they are yummy! The ones I made for the men who live under the roof had cheese on them (of course!) and mind had lemon pepper sprinkled on them. Then again, what isn't good when it's fried in butter?

I would have taken a picture, but we ate them all up!

PS - I must give credit to my chef husband because he made the mashed potatoes last night from scratch :)

"Little Bunny Foo Foo"

Bought the stuff and now, I believe, this makes me committed to the making, baking, stirring, chopping, and preparing of Easter lunch. Here is what it "should" look like:
