CSA baking

What do you do with a ton of CSA produce and it is too hot to go outside? TURN ON THE OVEN!

I found a recipe that I could not pass up and since we were bored, we decided to make zucchini cheddar bread

My little helper

Not bad for a first try.

Kicking the 4th Old School!

This year we bought a member ship to Old Sturbridge Village, and decide that this would be a great way to spend The 4th of July

Coming along on our adventure, was one of my oldest friends Shel and her daughter Emma and Grace, you can check them at Our one sweet family. Shel and I were lucky to reconnect on facebook and she and those sweet girls have been a great resource on parenting for me and Mia.

Who doesn't want to ride a sheep?

How cute are these girls???

Cherry picking

Today since we had nothing to do so we decide to go Cherry Picking at BellTown Orchards

Afterwards we decided to have lunch at Shady Glenn

Where eating chocolate ice cream is serious business.

Getting creative

A wonderful friend gave us this easel and today was the perfect day to use it . I adore how Dada's shirt hangs off and how she has to use all the paint

Some spring cleaning

Today with the help of some very good friends, we had a cleaning party, we made some pulled pork, got some side, provide some beverages, and went to town, for some much needed, dusting, vacuuming, organizing  and storing..and here are the results

I love that it isn't perfect, but it is much more manageable, and I don't feel like hiding under the covers, when I got to straighten up

The before is pretty ugly, so I just show some of the after..I can not tell you how much of a relief it was so get so much done.

This is the "yellow room" which really ends up being the catchall room, and usually ends up being the messiest room in the house

Part of the living room

Pantry

The Hutch

Part of Mia's play area

More Pantry

Mia's room

This used to  store  a ton of DVDs, I bought a case for most of them, and now I can use the space for books that I want to read downstairs, and not hide them under my coffee table which has shelves, where I forget about them half the time.

The other part of Mia's play area

Mia enjoying a chocolate donut after all her hard work, it was a great day to take a walk as well
