Well, I guess two kids, homeschooling, and home remodeling don't leave much time for blogging! Getting ready to freshen things up around here and start posting some home tour before and after pics... Stick around - we've been busy!<br />

The lovely remains of a really yummy meal! <a href="http://shecookshecleans.net/2012/05/19/oven-roasted-salmon-with-parmesan-mayo-crust/">This</a> recipe was super simple, quick and tasty.<br />

The <a href="http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2011/12/slow-cooker-parmesan-honey-pork-roast.html">pork</a> was so tender and tasty, but I wasn't crazy about the flavor combo in the sauce...<br />

Yum!! FYI I used regular cream cheese and let the cake sit for over 24 hours before serving...</div>

The little bursts of sunshine sure make me want to garden - for now a little start of herbs is enough.<br />

Oh and while I was being showered with a mountain of adorable baby clothes, hubby was tearing out this wall to kick off our kitchen/laundry room/dining room remodel! Eek!</div>

Starting with herb baked eggs on buttered ciabatta. Mmmm...<br />
<br />
How could anyone resist kissing those sweet little yips (how the bug says lips sometimes) every second!<br />
<br />
Drinking lots of carrot juice because a wise woman told me it was good for anemia + a cookbook that left me moslty uninterested... Too strange for me!<br />

<br />
Teaching her new things. She was very intrigued...<br />
<br />
Sewing with those little hands. We made a quick little bib for her baby doll.<br />
<br />
I was thinking bring some Spring inside with a pop of flower color. She picked dark purple. Not the bright pop I had in mind, but her smile is better.<br />
<br />
Attempting her first tea party with little sister. Love these moments!<br />

I'm finding piles of furry friends around the house as the bug tries to introduce everyone to her baby sister.<br />
<br />
Her corner of land is small and calm.<br />
<br />
Baking with my little helper - she loves to stir!<br />
<br />
Flowers and balloons remind us we are loved and her life is celebrated here.<br />
<br />
Watching this little cupcake sleep occupies most of our time...</div>

Sharing a few special days with my girl while it is still just the two of us... We took advantage of the free week at the Chinese gardens and a sunny yet brisk day. Such a lovely memory of time with her in the tea house and wandering around the gardens.</div>

Well, I made it through a year of the photo a day challenge - so fun to look back on! I won't be trying for a second year as life is a little extra hectic now, but you will still be seeing glimpses into our days around here...<br />

Day 31: Self Portrait<br />
