At the Beach

We have enjoyed visiting the beach at every opportunity.  This beach is on one of the local bases and just a short drive from home. 

Sunshine, sand and water are such a wonderful combination!

A Skirt for Abby

Amie out grew this dress, so Abby and I re-purposed it to a skirt.

It is a delight to make things for Abigail because she has such a grateful heart.
 This skirt was worn several days in a row before it took a laundry break.

Birthday Cupcakes

Matt helped me make Strawberry Cupcakes for my birthday.

  The recipe is from Cybele Pascal. 

 On their own the cupcakes were disappointing.   Once frosted they greatly improved. 

 My kiddos liked them!

1 can chickpeas

green olives, pitted and sliced

28oz can diced tomatoes

Chicken Salad and Homemade Tortillas

Abigail is always a big help in any endeavor.  We used this recipe from Gluten Free Cooking School to make gluten free tortillas.  Abby rolled all but one out and put them in the pan. Matt cooked chicken for me and then I added sliced grapes, chopped celery and onion along with Most Things Free Mayonnaise.
