No one thinks about you as much as yourself!

I do my best thinking when I have extended time to myself.  Today for instance I was cutting the grass for well over an hour and I was able to do a lot of thinking.  I thought about people in my life, things I need to do, thinks I would like to do and more.  I thought about my lovely children and all they have to offer.  I did lots of smiling at the sunshine.  I smiled at the smells surrounding me.  I smiled at the quiet life we are choosing to live.  Self reflection is a great thing.

Matt discovered Buy the Grapevine/Mainstay Herbals today.  It is our local bulk food/vitamin/herbals store.  They have so many things to offer!!!!  He picked up a few things and has plans to go back soon to scoop up a few (hundred) other things he discovered.  I highly recommend popping in to see what they have to offer!!!

I made Matt some Hummus today.  This recipe called for tahini paste but I used peanut butter.  It tastes fantastic!!  I froze it in serving sizes so he could take just enough to work and not have any waste.

Dinner tonight was canneloni.  It was stuffed with ricotta, fresh herbs and tomatoes.  I smothered it in tomato sauce.  We had Olive Oil Herbs de Provence Bread.  We eat this bread on a regular basis.  The girls call it "Your (my) bread". It is SOOOO yummy.  Matt and I have talked about making our own bread on a regular basis instead of buying it from the store.  I need to invest in more pans if that is the case =-)

Today Ruby was wearing a Wool diaper cover.  I loved it!  And I love that you only have to wash it every 1-2 weeks!!!  As long as it isn't soiled that is.  So tomorrow I am off to Value Village to find some wool sweaters to see what I can fashion!!  I will share photos.  I am heading to Go Green Baby as well to stock up on some covers and liners.  I think it is my new favorite store!!!!
