Amish Friendship Bread


A friend just gave us a start, and here's the comment my husband made:


"When I was single some girls gave us some of that. We smelled inside the bag and knew it was rancid, though, so we threw it away. We didn't think it was very friendly."



If you've ever done Amish friendship bread, you know why this is so funny!

PB&J


Baby just had his first ever. This is where creativity in feeding a picky toddler has brought me. :)

So Pleasant


Lately we've been spending our evenings reading Pride and Prejudice aloud. We're like a happy old couple--so quaint.

I Might Think You’re a Hippy If:

1. You buy farm-fresh eggs/dairy.
2. You line dry your clothes.
3. You wear barefoot running socks.
4. You grind your own wheat.
5. You’re part of a produce co-op.
6. You don’t cut your baby’s hair.
7. You shop at farmer’s markets and/or craft fairs.
8. You don’t shave your legs.
9. You buy organic baby clothes.
10. You don’t wear makeup as a rule.

On the other hand, you might think I’m a hippy if you knew:

1. I don’t own a TV.
2. I don’t see any new movies.
3. I make most of my own meals.
4. I use ground flax seed in my cooking, obsessively.
5. I use vegetable purees in my cooking.
6. I spend a lot of my family time reading aloud.
7. I like needlepoint.
8. I made most of my baby’s baby food from scratch.
9. My child goes to bed at 6:00 p.m.
10. I’m usually too lazy to wear make-up and go out in public in sweats a lot.

Proven

As an adult, you can sleep with a cough drop in your mouth without choking and without it ending up in your hair. It’s not my favorite thing to do, but in times of great need now I know it’s possible.

Sweet Little Companion


I few weeks ago I had the chance to run errands by myself (without baby), and I didn’t want to. I knew I’d be lonesome without my little companion. I am one lucky mommy.

I Wish Wikipedia Didn't Have Naked Pictures

Never look up pregnancy. Please, just trust me. And is anyone working on a campaign for some image filtering? I'd be with you.

Gershwin, Gene Kelly, and Naked People?


Not a fan of the latter, no matter how much I like the first two. You can live without seeing this movie. Please do.

Are they related even though you pronounced them differently? Please, help me solve this mystery.
