It may be the highest compliment I receive.
"No ones banana bread is as good as yours! I hate guacamole - but I LOVE yours! I hate baked beans - but I LOVE yours!! You've ruined me!" She says to me...more than once a month.
Recently I was making something totally new....I don't remember what it was now....but I was on the phone with her and telling her I was nervous it would be totally gross. "It can't be YOU are making it, it will be awesome." If you find planet wonderful - this is where my kids are from. Seriously.
This weekend is her Sweet 16 party. BBQ, Bonfire, girls sleeping over in the big tent and in the morning.....a mockery of all things "Sweet 16" has been made to be. They will be getting themselves totally fanified and beautiful in the twirliest of dresses.....to go bowling. Just one reason we call her WonderTeen. She is brilliant, beautiful and hilarious all in one.
And all this falls right during the "Great Purge of 2012"......I am crazy. Driven there by the messes and the sweetest of requests to make all her favorite "you've ruined me" things. The Purge is on pause. The house certainly better for how far we've come but priorities are priorities, right? This week I am cleaning and putting things back together, cleaning up the purged messes, sending donations with the hubby to drop off after work.
Today is baking day. Raspberry Lemonade tartlets. English toffee. My famous baked beans. 3 kinds of muffins for breakfast. I think I'm forgetting something.....oh, guacamole will be made fresh on Friday. Right now it smells of toffee in the house......
So yummy!
Lots of foody things are happening here. I'll share next week when I have more time.
Til then....
Blessings of abundant awareness of all the treats He prepares for you,
the Mrs.
