Bake sale for charity

I've never done a bake sale. Made this beautiful oatmeal cookies again I hope they will run out. I also invested (with mountain mans money of course) some moolah to sell fresh juice but it seems that my driver bought too many fruits so I don't know if I'll be able to sell it all. Let's hope tomorrow will be sunny and bright, even though the weather report says cloudy.

Boot camp baby

The insurance card for Lilybuff was finally sorted out last week so i took Lily to her 2nd check-up at 5 months! I was called "relaxed" by the pd but I think she was being polite.

Anyway at 5 months, her fine motor skills are pretty good. Emotional development on track. But she is not rolling over! I admit that I dont want her to be too active like her brother because he has gotten into so many accidents, but after being called fat and lazy (though not in the same sentence) in one check-up, it's time to take matters into my own hands.

I am going to start her on swimming twice a week. And at least 1-2hrs of tummy time each day. It's gonna involve a lot of cheering and clapping but hell she better shape up before her 6th month check up!

Tennis again

Sporty is not a word often used to describe me. I don't hate exercise, I just never really excelled in anything sports related. I swim really slow, I run slower than a tortoise, I close eyes when a ball is coming at me, and my aim is bad, like seriously.

Ive been playing tennis for 20 over years. It's a sport I enjoy but only for leisure. I used to play tennis for the school, but frankly I rather get benched because I clam up during tournaments it's very very embarrassing. When I was in junior college I decided to quit tennis because I couldn't take the pressure. It wasn't the long hours of training, or how hard it was on my body. It was my pride that couldn't bear losing another tournament and letting my teammates down.

Anyway, now that mountain boy goes to school I can spare some time during the day, just 1 hr a week to play and practice. Hopefully it's something mountain man can pick up so we can play together when we grow old.

Chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting

I combined the regular Hershey's cupcakes recipe with carrot top moms kickass cream cheese frosting. Very yummy!

Delicious as it is, I have a complaint about the Hershey cupcake recipe. The batter is quite thin so cupcakes don't rise evenly. Recipe works better as a regular cake.

You are my sunshine

She has the kind of smile that makes you smile with her. I'm so crazy about her right now.
