...mark it with a 'B' for baby and me!


Lemon Meringue pie~made exclusively with freshly ground, whole wheat flour. I am completely out of the 'store bought' stuff. :)


Attempting to do anything without endless interruption is usually fruitless, yet there are exceptions. This morning I was determined to get things done, and so I set the timer for 30 min. and told the boys when the time was up I would read them a book. It worked! Again, I set the timer and promised another story. Another time, 2 balloons blown up for them and decorated with stickers- even snack time was a good reward. As long as I gave them my undivided attention for a little bit every 30-45 minutes I had (almost!) undisturbed, peaceful time to work on the house all morning! As a result I found time to bake a yummy treat we've been craving since someone else on facebook made it :)
As you can see, I even took pictures!

I love this shot...


Malachi was my part-time happy helper (and snitch!) Ce was sleeping, though he would have loved to help, too!
