A quick clip from Abby's performance at her Suzuki half-book 1 graduation.

She set a goal to finish book 1 by September 30, a lofty goal but I know she can do it!

Real Life

Thank you Madeline (I think?) for capturing a clip of our morning routine.  I went to download my photos and seeing this made me smile.

Avocado Uses #7,649

As I was leaving my sister's house a couple nights ago, she handed me a package of carrot broccoli slaw that she said she wasn't going to use.  Last night I decided to make something as quickly as humanly possible fun out of it.  Turns out, GLLAM loved it and scarfed down every morsel.  Guess I'll be making this one again....

1 package of carrot broccoli slaw (make sure its organic as carrots are root vegetables that like to gulp up all the toxins nutrients in the soil and broccoli is.....ok, I digress.)
2 avocados diced
2 small apples diced
generous handful of raisins
even more generous handful of your favorite nut (I used pine nuts here)

Toss with the dressing of your choice.  For this salad I used:
1/4 c. good olive oil
1/8 c. raw apple cider vinegar
2T. sweetener (I used coconut granules)
1 clove garlic
real salt/pepper to taste

Watch it disappear!  (on a side note, the photo would have been much more appetizing had I grabbed my iPhone before downing the 1st half.  Oopsy!)

The kids have rescued mice (are you kidding me!??!) and we are carting them off to Classical Conversations today as they must be fed every 2 hours....they are the size of my thumb.  Yes, Madeline & Kate researched all the necessary information to bring these Mus Musculus (you know that's the scientific name for "little thief" right??) back from certain death.    OMGoodness.
