the mobile: a series
Thank you Aunt Diedra for the ladybug mobile! This is currently Grayden's favorite thing to play with. He will lay in his crib and just stare at it, wiggling and gurgling to show his excitement.
I fulfill my creative urge by doing every craft I can get my hands on. I hate rules, recipes, and patterns for there is always more than one way to create something. Like I always say, it's an art, not a science.
Here are some of the best books I have recently read. If you are looking for fascinating reads, here you go:
Lies my Teacher told me by James W. Loewen
The Hemingses of Monticello by Annette Gordon-Reed
1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles Mann
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
The Sisters: the Sage of the Mitford Family by Mary S. Lovell
Can't Get Enough Of . . .
Buttercup squash.
I LOVE squash, which my husband can attest to. I love zucchini, crooked-neck squash, acorn squash, pumpkin, and especially buttercup squash.
I've also been a fan of this roasted or steamed, but recently I decided to put it on a flat bread pizza with fresh mozarella and goat cheese, and instantly my new favorite pizza was born.
