A Momma's Love

Getting a much needed recharge this week.  Thanks to a wonderful hostess!

Jenna is done with high school and what is she doing today?  Well after helping me take kids to library she is now SLEEPING!   High school wore her out!  Rest up doll! The rest of your life is ahead of you!

Ever feel like life is going too fast?  That if you could hold them tighter they might stay little longer?  Jenna Bea is graduating at the end of this month! I am so proud of the woman she has become but remember when I got to hold her for the first time.  She will do great at UNI in the fall.  In fact she is already job hunting for when she moves in August.  One step ahead..one foot in front of the other. 

Today I spent the afternoon with my sister!  Wish I could say it was for a happier occasion.  However she decided she could not live with her gall bladder any more! Yep, she had surgery today!  Now I learned a big lesson...or was reminded of one...NEVER leave the house for the afternoon without my yarn and needles!  I had to suffer and watch another lady in the waiting room knit socks!  Lesson learned!

This morning I made these while kiddos colored.  I love being able to do something creative for a useful cause! These will be donated to church for our parent bags we send down to the UIHC for families!

It was beautiful so we got outside! Here are some pictures!

Wanna see if this works.  If so this will be so much easier!

This morning I tried something new.  I made mini donuts for the kiddos.  Greg had a mini donut maker that he left here after christmas break.  I was skeptical but they actually turned out pretty good.  Of course he did not leave me a recipe so I had to go on the internet in search of one.  Even better is that it was all stuff I already had in the kitchen!!! Now the question will be...how can I tweak the recipe to incorporate other flavors???  Not a fan of frosting on my donuts for the little kids. So what's coming out of your oven today?
