Day 76 ~ Corn Beef and Cabbage

In honor of St. Patricks day I made corn beef and cabbage tonight, and it was sooooooo good!

The kids were not all that thrilled but I love cabbage. I love anything with cabbage. I have been doing great on the clean eating but since I would not be celebrating St. Patty's day with green beer, I did the next best thing, corn beef and cabbage baby! Now, if only I can get the rest of the family to love it like I do, I could be a very happy girl. Oh well, more for me!(;

Day 75 ~ Assistant Coach

My new thing for the day was becoming an assistant coach to my daughter’s softball team. I have always loved softball and played it most of my younger years. My daughter is thrilled and I am thrilled. It is definitely a new thing for the year. Something I have always wanted but never volunteered for. I know it will be challenging but I am very happy about it and look forward to the season!

Day 74 ~ Softball

My new thing for the day was watching my daughters first try outs for softball. It wasn't so much a try out as an assetment of what the girls could do. She did so great and I sat for 1 1/2 with a giant grin on my face. She was having so much fun and boy does that girl have an arm on her. I can't wait for the season to begin and see her make the same kind of memories I made playing ball so many years ago. You never want to force your favorite sport on your child, but what a joy it is to see them love it as much as you did.

Day 73 ~ Season 3 Sopranos

We did it! We finished season 3 of the Sopranos. I think I cried 3 times in the season finale. After a late night, I think all the energy we had was put into watching the remaining episodes.

Day 72 ~ Limo Ride

Our new thing for the day was celebrating our friends 40th with a hummer limo ride down town. We had so much fun, dinner, martinis, and great company!! Just look at the smile on everyones face!!

Day 71 ~ Helping Others

My new thing for the day was to focus on helping others. Everybody has talents and mine is my creativity so I used that to help a friend. I spent about 4 hours making gigantic flowers for her preschool room along with a rainbow and green vines. It is amazing how helping others really makes you feel. She was so happy when she saw the finished product. I think this is something I need to do more often.

Day 70 ~ Welcome to the 50s

I love aprons. I love how they look, the idea of them, what they represent, and how they make me feel.



My new thing for the day was this adorable apron I got on sale at Fred Meyers. I love it. I feel cute and sassy and it saves my clothes from being messy. I started an apron collection this last year and this is my latest addition. I chose the M for many reasons. My last name, my maiden name and the fact I am commonly know as Mom. I love all that they represent to me. Aprons remind me of a simpler time, my grandmother, my mother, and a sense of pride that comes with being a mother. I often wonder what my great grandmother felt when she wore hers to prepare dinner for her 12 daughters and husband. If only aprons could talk.

My new thing put a smile on my face and on my heart.
