Addy's favorite things

1. Dolly. Well both of them. Still.

2. Doing things herself. Like putting on shoes, climbing things, getting in and out of her chair, yada yada.

3. She adores her daddy. She is so excited to see him when he gets home even if he's only been gone 5 minutes.

4. Crayons and the bag we keep them in.

5. Bubbles. Her new favorite thing and word.

6. Apple juice. Diluted of course but she doesn't know the difference.

7. Being a little momma. She takes care of her dollies and other stuffed beings like no other. She makes sure they are fed and loved and given rides her stroller.

8. Being outside. With the few sunny days we have had so far this year we have been outside whenever we can! Out front or on the deck, doesn't matter.

9. Screaming. If you ran into us say, at the grocery store you would think I was fibbing. In public Addy is quiet and listens to us, but at home she is a wild child. She just recently discovered her voice. I'm talking, "someone is trying to steal me" screams while she runs through the house at full speed pushing her stroller and baby of choice. It's so cute.

10. Night-Night Little Pookie. Her new bedtime story.

Gosh I love this kid

Holiday!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

1c peanut butter

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Drop onto a cooking sheet. Use a fork dipped in sugar to put the crisscross pattern on each cooking or experiment with a cookie stamp or other cool patterned object. Bake 12-15 minutes at 350. Makes approximately 15 cookies.

Bam, done. Enjoy!

This box of goodness taunted me all day long! I even pulled a pan out to cook it in but alas I win. It's still sealed and going back in the pantry. Small victories.

An easy way to help Children's Hospital

These really cool sisters I know run their own business (Loutinen Events) making cards, invitations and other paper products to help pull your event together, yeah they are pretty crafty. Well, turns out the craftiness runs in the family. Shannon's son Charlie drew 4 pictures and they decided to put them on notecards to sell and raise money for Children's Hospital here in Seattle. His goal is to raise $1000 from the sale of these cards, how awesome is he?! They are selling them in their Etsy shop, you should go check them out and spread the word.

Thanks!
