This morning I took a few minutes to make jar salads.
It's supposed to be very hot this week.
My husband doesn't usually eat much at work. He works in the oilfield. So it's definitely extra hot for him. He likes sweet snacks and isn't a very picky eater. I figured adding a few healthy salads couldn't hurt. I kmow most people add the dressing towards the bottom. I didn't like that idea. I decided to fill a few small disposable condiment containers with dressing. He can just pour it in and shake.
What did yall do this morning? Any good salad recipes?

Today I made Agua de Melon. My husband works outside in the heat. I know he can just pick up Gatorade or any other electrolyte. I just like this better. Its healthier. You can use sugar instead of honey. I prefer local honey. It's also great without any added sweetener. Give it a try!

Slow mornings are everything to me. As a teen I never had a slow morning. My mom always had a ton of things on her list and a bunch of kids to tote around at the same time. Not her kids. Either I was stuck watching kids or running up and down with her. As an adult I become the woman who hated her peace disturbed. I don't answer calls unless it's school, my kids, or husband. I don't go to a lot of social events or celebrations we get invited to. I like my peace. I like my kids being able to enjoy their days without feeling rushed. If they want to attend a party or celebration then we do. If they don't then we don't. If my oldest babysits for us we pay her like its a job. If she doesn't feel like babysitting then she doesn't. I refuse to make my kids feel the way I did. Everyone deserves slow days and a soft life.

Slow mornings are just what the soul needs sometimes.
When I was a young girl my mom would sit and clean beans then make me put them to cook. It annoyed the hell out of me. She'd cut meat and make me cook it. I always hated it. Little did I know she was teaching me and preparing me for the future me. I was her right hand. Every recipe every memory buried deep in my heart. All those days sitting at the kitchen table with her... I'd give anything to have it all back.

☃️What are some things your kids are taking for classroom treats this Christmas?

*My son's teacher hangs stockings that each child will take to class. They bring an item or items to fill each other's stocking. My daughter and I colored and laminated some book marks. My son will color some stickers I printed for him and we sent the goodies pictured below. We also sent extra stockings, as well as his teacher picked some up, so that everyone will have one. I'm sure we'll do candy bags later. They have a party so a few moms will provide breakfast and fun foods too.

Summer is almost here. One of my girls has a little business venture she has been working on. I plan to help her as much as possible.
With that being said the last snack buckets and totes I'll be making will be for the last day of school. I also will not be making mums this year.
Family life comes first. My kid's dreams come first. With helping my daughter and planning a double quince I will be taking a break from crafting.
Look out for what the kids and I get into! Here's to new adventures!
