So here is my list for this week:
- Old fashion agricultural fairs: we went to The Bolton Fair this weekend and Sophia was just the happiest kid, she loves looking at the rides, not so much going on them, but she goes crazy just watching them go. She also loved the animals, the pony ride and she went on the fire truck and that was the best thing ever for her:
2. Cuddling with Sophia: I love cuddling with her, but I actually love more the fact that she wants to cuddle with me. She crawl over and asks me to pick her up and the she puts her head on my chest and is very content. Seeing her smiling cause she is with her mama is priceless.
3. Kettle corn: I LOVE kettle corn. I have no self control when it comes to kettle corn, you can't give me a bag and expect me to share or have left-overs.
4. Colombian food: I have re-discovered typical foods from my country. I have a list of all the recipes I want to try. What I've tried so far has come out pretty good:
Shredded meat |
6: It's easy and cheap to entertain my daughter: This week Eric and I decided to go to the pet store to show Sophia the fish, she had a great time, she liked the fish, the birds, and the bunnies, but her favorite were the mice! Eek!
7: Pintrest: I said before and I'm saying it again, I've got so many different ideas from this site like some of the Colombian recipes, organizing tips and DIY projects, which some of them I actually do and not just pin. Like this: labeled containers for the kitchen:
8: Sophia's seizure medicine: She has had 2 really scary seizures and they happened right before she was diagnosed with epilepsy and ever since the medicine the doctor prescribed has, for the most part, controlled the condition. She still has some episodes a few times a month, which is why we have gone up in the dosage, but I really think that if it wasn't for this medication Sophia would be having seizures every day.
9: My treadmill: Because of the kettle corn and the Colombian recipes it's really hard to keep in shape, having a treadmill at home makes it easier to try to stay fit.
10: The beach is only an hour driving from our house. Sophia loves, LOVES going to the beach, she likes sitting by the shore and seeing the waves come and go, she anticipates them and get really excited. It's really fortunate we live close to the coast:
Thank you for your encouraging post Natalia! So often we get caught up in the downers of our days (I'm in a tough place now) and it's so refreshing to read what others are thankful for.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome!I find that making the list when I am in a tough place is what gets me thorough. I hope you are coming out of that tough place now Stephanie.
Deletemice! (well, maybe it will help to think about them as little short-haired grey hounds... with tiny legs...not working? lol)
ReplyDeleteI hear they make tiny little gps units you could attach to their little collars ("Spot" and "Not-Spot") you will always know where they are...or aren't!
The beach... sitting in the sand. I enjoyed seeing your picture of Sophia at the beach and it reminds me... go to the beach stop for a minute. (so easy to let time slip away.
Nope, not working! You can tell me that they would never ever come out of the cage and still I won't have them in the house! =)
DeleteShe loves the beach, I could sit there looking at her having fun for hours.
Missed you last week, Natalia!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun activities with Sophia - the fair, the beach, the pet store! Great, inexpensive fun!
That shredded meat looks soooo good! What do you eat it with?
And a big YAY to your ENT for agreeing to work with the other schedules and do the hearing test at the same time she is under for her other surgery. Good job of getting that accomplished!
I miss you guys too! I didn't even had the time to read your lists and I feel horrible!
DeleteYou can eat it with white rice and it taste soooo good. I can give you the recipe if you want.
Thank you, I am so glad it all worked out, we'll see what the result are.
Email me the recipe! I'd love to have it!
DeleteSophia is adorable!!! I love Pinterest:) I also love KC.I agree, I have no control when I eat that stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I had to throw away the KC bag, it was getting out of control!!
DeleteSuch wonderful times with little Sophia. Clearly, she is having a ball. Good job getting out and finding fun, cheap things to do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing that doctor is!
That Columbian food looks delicious. Unlike kettle corn. Kettle corn is a staple at soccer tournaments. My family loves it, but I can't stand the stuff.
Nice job with the organizing!
I don't like kettle corn, either. Give me buttery, salty popcorn or give me caramel corn, but don't give me a watered down version of the two of them together.
DeleteShe is having the life! I need more ideas of things to do with her, we still have 3 more weeks before the surgery and school, just the two of us everyday, the whole day!!
DeleteLol! Dyane, watered down version of the buttery or caramel popcorn is a spot on description, but I still like it, I bought a medium bag, which is huge, and I had to through it away today cause I couldn't stop eating, my mouth hurts a little =)
No mice in the house, I adore Sophia but I like my sanity too =)
