Journals

So I just started doing this and maybe you awesome moms already do this, but I really love it and I think it will be a great gift to my kids some day....

I decided I would buy three journals--one for each kid--and I put them by my bed. At night before I go to bed I write in them--well, not every night yet--but I write in them about my kids that day. Things they did, we did, things they said and what I am concerned about or working on improving at the time.

I don't always write long entries, but even a paragraph is something especially if you keep it up over time.

Anyway, I thought I would share this idea because of how much I enjoy doing it. I used to Blog quite a bit of the details about my kids, but I don't really do that as much anymore--I don't want that information on the Internet, for one, and two, I don't want to bore everyone, and three, some of my information just seems too private to share sometimes, but anyway just an idea for you all!

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to some of my favorite Mommies! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Thanks for being such great examples to me!

Okay I just thought I'd share this yummy and easy as pie recipe with you all. It is my new favorite. Well.....it's been a favorite since my mom made it all the time. I have made it the last two Fridays and my boys love it! Hope you do too!

Whole Wheat Bread

2/3 C. honey

Put water in Bosch and add 7 cups flour. Mix for 1 to 2 min. Add oil, honey, and salt. Mix 1 to 2 min. Mix yeast with remaining flour. Add to mixture in Bosch. Knead for 10 min.
