I only blog on even years...

Well, a lot has happened since last I blogged.

We created another person, named Ori.

He looks like this:

Annalisa doesn't like him too much, but he's growing on her, I think. 

Sometimes she will sit next to him for a few seconds:

Speaking of Annalisa....

She likes Frozen:

A lot of other stuff has happened in the last 2 years, but, it's probably too much to write, so consider yourself caught up.  

The spice must flow...

This is the spice rack I made today. I intended to sell it, but, it was really time-consuming. I just didn't think anyone would pay what I would potentially have asked for it...so I'm keeping it. 

It looks awesome in my kitchen anyway.

Just some stuff in the garden

A few things in the garden...as they are today. With all of the storms/scorching heat, I don't see how anything survives long in Texas.

Avocado Skin Seedling Starter

Every week I try to think of something to do with all of the avocado skins I have after making baby food. I decided to try using them as seedling starters. 

I'm not sure how quickly they biodegrade, but I am going to try putting it directly in the ground when I plant the seedlings outside. 

Let there be tea lights

I've been making lanterns like crazy. The yard is going to be covered in them soon. It's staring to look like freakin' Lothlorien out there.  

this is not a mom blog

I love being home with Annalisa. Even if most days, I haven't got much else to talk about besides her. 

An antique thread stand David bought me.
