Yoga went well, DD tried to mimic moves perfectly and that was most entertaining part. She is a random perfectionist. I'll see how keeping up with it goes. I did it once lol
This week: I am going to start "summer classes" for dd. Basically spend a couple days each all summer long on each letter if the alphabet. She is really interested so it will be good to feed her curiousity and learning. This week will be A then B. I got alphabet cookie cutters and will use to cut the letters out of play dough or real dough, paint- whatever. For A we will cut A out of pie dough and make an Apple pie and make Apple Art. Each letter will have a art aspect and project aspect so I can incorporate creativity and life skills. So like painting then baking, C day will be like Chalk Colors on Concrete then Cleaning, (and sciencey things) like Baking soda B (in flat container make a B w baking soda and use dropper w colored vinegar to watch fizzle) then bake something like banana bread in big bird pan. I am hoping to go to Busch Gardens the weekend after next and do E over weekend so Elmo can be part of that section. Anyway- a lot if big planning and this week determines how well she handles that. I also want to do numbers so like 2 days one letter, 2 days next, then 1 day on number(s) and then when Daddy gets home she can share everything and take ownership and pride in what she made.
.... I may be in over my head guise... :-/

Whoops, I don't even remember what my new thing for last week was!!

New thing today- we are going to try to grill burritos for dinner. We will see!!

@Momarazzi007‌ great idea! That sounds like work, but a lot of fun! I went to the teacher's store yesterday intending to get therapy materials for work but bought some stuff for DS and me to work on. I finally cracked and created a binder for him just like one of my kids at work and we do "Mommy speech time" pretty frequently now. The poor kid never gets a break, but we need the practice!!!

Momarazzi007 · June 2014

@annibes you didn't actually plan anything for week- you had just tried artichoke dish and mashed cauliflower :-)

Momarazzi007 · June 2014

Then you inspired me to finally try my buffalo cauliflower bites so you motivated me :-D

annibes · June 2014

Haha thanks for keeping up for me!! I need to try those cauliflower bites! Cauliflower doesn't near as much play as it should. It's so darn good!!!

annibes · June 2014

I impulsively decided to bring back an old practice (so old it feels new!) today, does that count for last week's new thing?

Mommalawyer · June 2014

I think I'm going to try Yoga. I did it a few times, many, many years ago before DD and before 3 major knee surgeries that have left me partially disabled. (Yay for handicapped pass!) I want to try it again. I am, however, the most uncoordinated person on the planet, so I'm a self conscious sit in the back of the class type person! But maybe this week.....

Momarazzi007 · June 2014

@annibes Yes. Yes it does.

Last week I started using a whirlygig to dry my clothes outside. I kind of like it

Also, we took DD on a trip today on an old open air train to an old coal mine (now closed and museumized) in Kentucky. It was a lot of fun! Next week I think I'm going to try dying. I've been wanting to learn how to do it for a long time.

We had some serious sensory play this week. DS loved it. I enjoyed it, too. But it was a mess to clean up. I had used oil to keep the noodles from sticking together. Which led to another new thing for me... Mopping the patio. It was worth it.

GraceyandTroy · June 2014

I also tried a new recipe on Saturday morning!!! In an effort to increase my protein/decrease my carb intake, I tried these guten-free, low carb cream cheese pancakes. They were yummy and fun, but not very pretty as I couldn't flip them over very well. Here's the recipe: https://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2012/01/cream-cheese-pancakes.html

As far as this coming week, I'm not sure how much new I'll be doing. I am baking cupcakes for a wedding and want to get one or two components does each day so that I'm not completely rushed on Friday. I did pick up a pale cookbook from the library, though, so I've picked out a few recipes I want to try.

This week I'm letting DH cook. Not because I want him to but I am overloaded with work and a research paper deadline. No time for cooking. Tonight he made frozen egg rolls and brown rice with a mixe green salad. Not too shabby. I was half-expecting burger takeout!

@Momarazzi007‌ I love your idea of a letter a week activities!!! Totally stealing that. Please be sure to tell me what you're doing each week ;-)

@GraceyandTroy‌ sensory play is so fun! It took me a while to not panic when the mess exploded but the smiles are worth it. How does one mop oil off the patio? Ouch.

Momarazzi007 · June 2014

@Jodee37 will do!

Frenchteachermama · June 2014

I am going to CLEAN and ORGANIZE our disgusting basement playroom. The kids refuse to play down there because "it's scary". I'm going to donate 50% of their crap and make it less scary!!

SassFrass · June 2014

Baking class was a huge success! DD LOVED it, and the cookies were just what I needed to eat my feelings away this month lol. We are doing one more class next Monday, and making Father's day cookies, so I don't get to gorge myself on them since technically they are for DH

I think I am going to start jogging/running again, and staying serious about it... I need something to reduce my stress levels.
