Perfect Sunday afternoon with my sleeping angel.

Love music festivals.   We made it to the Dallas Homegrown fest again and I am happy to say that this is one festival we can go to every year.  Next year we may even take Liam.

“I don’t like pacifiers because I have hands they are much tastier.” You would think she is teething they way she goes after that hand. But no she is only three months so no teeth yet.

I love Hummus

I love it and I forget about my love until I make it and then remember how much I love it and how much my family loves.  This includes the three-year-old who will lick the bowl and spatula like I had made cookies when I make it.  Here is a really easy recipe for it and I throw everything in my food processor and then drizzle in the olive oil.  Also don’t be afraid to add quite a bit of salt, sea salt is good stuff.

Blend until smooth and then season with salt and pepper.

One of my best friends is moving from being three hours away to over twelve.  Not only is her second child close in age to Liam but her third child is the same exact age as Luci.  I think I am in shock still that she is moving cause I am not crying my eyes out yet.  She has to move back cause one of our kids are going to get married to each other.  
This is her son, Hudson, already putting the moves on Luci.

Coconut Oil - One Solution for All Skin Conditions | Gnet Health and Fitness -

I am so going out and buying a jar of coconut oil!

sosmommy:

Found this article about why coconut oil works so great for your skin, especially for those of us with acne.

Thought y’all might appreciate it, since I had a couple comments on my post last night about being skeptical of using an oil on your skin, especially your face. 

So, there you have it. Coconut oil does not solidify on your skin, therefore it will not clog your pores. It has anti-microbial properties, so it will help heal your acne. It’s moisturizing and apparently it’s good for wrinkles too, which I did not know!

Everyone go buy a jar of it! I’ll have to go look at the brand I get.. I really love it. I read a lot on the internet before about coconut oil having a particular smell to it. Mine does not smell when I use it on my skin. I can smell it when Mat uses it to cook with, but it’s amazing. I really love chicken cooked in a little bit of coconut oil, and according to this article, coconut oil pairs well with certain veggies. 

I should mention that when I use it on my face it does not look or feel like I rubbed myself with Crisco or anything. I know it’s an oil, but it doesn’t really feel that way. My skin absorbs it really well… naturally you will have a little sheen to you when you use it, BUT… not a greasy look. I used it last night all over. This morning I’m just soft. That’s it. It doesn’t leave a residue at all. 

So, there you have it. Coconut oil wins all the awards.

Baby play date!  I love having kids that are the same age as friends kids.  Luci’s friend is named Rachel and her big brother is in Liam’s class at school.   So when we get together everyone has someone to play with.
