New Baby Name

While I was fixing lunch, Marcel comments (out of the blue), "I figured out the name for the new baby girl."
"What baby girl?" I asked.
"OUR baby girl!" (Clarification: I am NOT pregnant)
"That's nice sweetie. What is it?"
"Rhonda!!!"

Sometimes You Desperately Need To Be Heard

Bluberry Jam

For years now I've wanted to make my own jam but never got around to it. This year I was determined! Trying to be frugally minded I first thought out the cheapest way to do it. We have some blueberry bushes in our yard- free. That was as cheap as I got it. Pectin and a few containers didn't cost much though.
Although I know how unhealthy freezer jam is, that's the one I went with because I didn't feel like standing over a boiling pot. I'm gonna search for a more natural recipe with whatever jam I do next.
I think I did everything right! I followed the instructions exactly so in 24 hours we will see!

Kate kept herself busy while I picked the berries.

That girl just loves dirt and rocks!

CHEEEEESE!!
