Salsa

Salsa is a staple at our house, it must be something that we picked up in Texas. However, it is hard to find a salsa that we like around here so I started canning my own. So ever year at this time I spend hours in the kitchen blanching, peeling, pureeing, and simmering just the right recipe so that we can enjoy the perfect salsa all year round. I have had good luck this year with my peppers (habaneros are nice and hot), but my tomatoes aren't doing as well, Thank goodness for the rest of the families gardens!

Thanks Marilyn, don't these tomatoes look beautiful?

Goodies from Lemon Tree Studio

I read LilyEdens http://www.mylilyeden.blogspot.comblog everyday, she is so creative and funny that I am inspired every time that I read it. In addition, she has this adorable etsy shop Lemon Tree Studio http://www.LemonTreeStudio.etsy.comthat has all kinds of little treats that would brighten anyones day if they received them. I shouldn't tell you all this, but on Fridays she has a freebie friday where she has a "Goodie(s)" that she gives away if you respond to a question she poses. Well I happened to answer one of her questions right last week (Thanks to Emma being born chubby) and I won some GOODIES... here they are!

I am so excited to use the letters, which say August, and the adorable moon and stars fabric... hmmm.... think creative! Thanks LilyEden

Too Big!!

I know that I can't be the only one that sees the cutest outfit and has to buy it knowing that it won't fit... Emma that is! I found this swimsuit at Target, but they only had it in a 2T.

Couldn't pass it up though... I just justified that she can wear it next year.
