Our mini garden

We've had some unusual weather, worrying about frost overnight is usually not at issue but this year it has been. So to start our pot garden (I should re-think that phrase), but we are planting in pots. We are growing lettuce, carrots, peas, and green onions. Can't wait to start using our homegrown food. Next in February/March, phase 2 of planting.
Green Onions

Sweet Peas

Lettuce

Carrots

Happy Birthday Gavin!

From Saturday's impromptu party

I said I wasn't making anymore cakes (I mean decorating). Here I was that morning, turning the cake into a Laker cakes. He wanted the cakepops to be Laker-pops but I ran out of time for decorating. Yellow cakepops were good enough

Must share! Let me know if it works for you too!

So, a while back Kelli had this awful cold with a cough that lasted forever. She told me that she had read/heard (don't remember), but if you rubbed Vick's on your feet at night and covered them with socks, the coughing would stop. Kelli told me it worked for her.
Right now A has a cold, and tonight her cough was so bad she vomited all over her bed. I rocked her to sleep (still coughing in her sleep). I decided to rub her feet down with some good old Vick's and put socks on her feet. And guess what? The coughing stopped within a few minutes [seriously]. Don't know why it worked but it did. And just so you know, A had it on her chest earlier in the evening and it didn't stop her coughing then.
