Ten on Tuesday!

1. Any vacations you are looking forward to this summer?

A trip to Minnesota sometime either June or July to my family's lake cabin to do some fishing, wakeboarding, and get some quality family time in!! Can't wait! :)
2. What is your favorite article of summer clothing (shoes are included)?
Swimming suit, flip flops to prevent the AZ concrete for giving you 3rd degree burns on the soles of your feet!

Or....sundresses with some cute flats I suppose. (right now I'm dreading summer clothing for some reason. I just want hide in sweaters & jeans)

3. What is your favorite summer drink (alcoholic or non)?
Fresh squeezed lemonade with a little sprite to make it bubble!

Or....a cold, frosty beer. Hefeweizen.
4. Do you tan or burn?
Tan. But my Native American blood makes my tan come out a little reddish.
5. Any goals you are working toward this summer?
To have a beautiful, ever-producing, succulent garden/backyard!

6. What is your favorite summertime food?
Strawberries and all that good fruit that's in season!
Rhubarb slush (haven't had that since I lived back in ND...ohhh I miss that stuff!!)
7. What song most says “summer” to you?
Any Neil Diamond. It reminds of me days out on the pontoon with my family :)
8. Any home improvement goals planned for this summer?
We don't own this home -- but the garden/backyard/grass is our project!
And Ryan might build us a tiki bar :)

9. What is one thing you hate to see at the beach?
Butts hanging out of a too-small bottom.
And when we were in Mexico -- people that tried going nude. I am just not okay with that -- and I never will be okay with nudity. It's just gross. I don't want to see ANYONES boobs sagging in the sand....
10. Did you ever go to a summer camp?
Indeed I did! Band camp almost every year from 6th grade until my sophomore or junior year! Loved it!
I also attended this Math, Science, & Technology Camp when I was in junior high....

Yup, you were a band camp geek! I remember driving you there or taking you to the train depot in the middle of the night to get there! We are so excited for a summer visit - it will be so great to have you here in the warmth of summer for a change! Fun post, Abby!

I can't wait for your trip home this summer! I hope you bring some nice, hot weather with you from AZ. :) Maybe I can take some time off that week, too!

Hey, fellow band camper! Did you know I spent seven weeks there one summer?

Also, I am amused by sights on the beach every time I am there!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith

8 Months

 Well, I missed month 1-8. But it is never too late to begin, right? Here is a recap of Maddy at 8 months. (I'm totally stealing this idea from my sister, Lisa. I thought it was so neat that she recaps her son's favorites and happenings every month)   How am I sleeping? Better than I was - but not as good as my peers. It also depends on if I'm teething. Last week, her 2nd tooth was poking through - so she was awake 3 times.  No matter how much I let her cry it out, I cannot seem to cut down her feedings. When I go in there - she is literally pulling at my shirt with her mouth wide open. So clearly she's hungry.  She eats 2 times/night and luckily goes right back to sleep. It is what it is. What am I eating? While we have had breastfeeding and bottle refusal struggles - I am so glad that taking to food as been relatively smooth. We are doing baby led weaning, and Maddy really enjoys most every food I've given her.  Her favorite foods are scrambled eggs, apples, and c

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for
