The brain child of Hallie Lord, this week hosted by Grace of Camp Patton
1. Sun bleaching: Someone mentioned to me when our first was an infant that sunlight works wonders on clothes with poop blowouts ~ get the stain wet and put in the sun and the stain largely fades. LOVE THIS!2. Self-feeders for ice: Caitlin has recently started some major drooling and chomping down on her fingers and our knuckles, we are wondering if teething is around the corner ~ so I'm bringing back out our self-feeders, which I have never really liked for food (find really tough to clean) but LOVE as a way to let my teething baby safely suck on ice.
3. 3 minute retreats: a wonderful site by Loyola press which offers the opportunity to reflect on single bible passage with some guided reflection and suggested prayers.
4. Mini ice cream cones: Big enough for a kid treat, small enough that I feel ok saying Yes to this treat a couple times a week.
5. Lily of the Valley: Since I have a May birthday it has long been a tradition with my mom to await the first blossom of the month's official flower Lily of the Valley. Having successfully transplanted some of hers; behold as of this week in my yard:
Joy, you are such an angel for putting that link to the 3 minute retreat. I need that so much.
ReplyDeleteLove these! I want to cry with happiness at #1- my 4 mo. old is having huge blowouts almost every single day and most of her clothes are stained. I'm at my wits end. Those self-feeders are so great, and I just discovered Lily of the Valley in our yard. It smells wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIce in the self-feeders - brilliant! Ours have just become teething toys, but ice actually makes sense!
ReplyDeleteI love lilies of the valley, grew in my yard growing up with the most delicate scent that cannot be replicated.
