Took Bella out for lunch today. We needed some time just to ourselves. I forget sometimes just how much it was her and I for so long. Even Sam was gone for months during those years.
So I sat and thought about how small she was and how she used to fit in a car seat in table booths.
Then we played tic tac toe and I came home to Char having a huge blowout and only taking an hour nap. 😭

Missed a few I'll have to upload, but this is the one we're currently reading. I'd forgotten how emotion heavy it starts out. Bella really likes it so far. 🌺

🌱We took the girls to our local Master Gardener's Teaching Garden today. They gave us all kinds of tutorials about watering, composting, and planting. Although we've done this stuff for years, the past several it's been in homes we rented so we were limited with what we could do. Now it's so much fun to know this is a much longer term investment. We bought tomatoes and herbs to start. 🍅

Mixing school work with sending off happy mail to new members of our @tangerinesandthyme community. 🤗
Copaiba is my go-to oil for my very tired of typing hands. I was researching it for our group today and was blown away by the research done on it. Actual published research (because let's be honest, there's a lot of unfounded claims out there, I have to dig to get by those at times). The beta-caryophyllene in Copaiba is incredible. So I fell down that reading hole for a bit.
Everyone else is taking a nap.
Maybe. I think I just jinxed that.

Garden beds are in! I wasn't sure about the color, but I love it. Now to get them planted 🌱🌼🍓

So this is what nursing a toddler is like. All the acrobats.
Thank goodness my boobs are long past the days of being used to impress anyone. 🙊😂

Summer livin' in March ☀️#desertlife

Took Bella and Char out for cupcakes tonight. I've been meaning to go to @themastersplace - but in 6 years haven't made it over till this evening. They were as good as they look. If you pass through EP, stop here!
