Sometimes I Treat Myself

-

Most of the time I don’t do much for myself. I feel happy when I do things for others, especially my kids and my husband. But... every once in awhile I will treat myself.

Sometimes after I’ve dropped the kids off at school, I will drive to McDonald’s, Burger King, or Chick-Fil-A and get breakfast. Maybe just because or maybe it’s been a rough morning and I need a treat.

Like this morning. The kids didn’t want to get up or go to school. They were crying and whining. We couldn’t find a water bottle, even though they were by the sink last night. It was just a rough and exhausting morning. So after I dropped our three youngest off at school (Brichette drives her and Xander to school) I went to McDonald’s and got a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit meal with a large coke. The ladies at the window were so kind and nice this morning which helped brighten my day.

Remember... sometimes you need a treat to help brighten your day!

Here is our Pink Chicken Coop that we did ourselves. We built it in 2019. Nick built it and the kids and I painted it. He came up with the plans, after showing him some I liked, and built it. Then Brichette painted the Sunflower 🌻 and bee 🐝 on it for me. It wasn’t very hard to build and didn’t cost much. I love it so much!  We added party lights and pink lights for the night. 🤩

Today is National Popcorn Day (along with National Tin Can Day and Get to Know Your Customer’s Day). We love popcorn! 🍿 We eat it all the time.  We like to make our own, but also like the white cheddar Smatfood popcorn, kettle corn, caramel popcorn, from the movie theater, and even some gas stations. Today I made caramel popcorn. I got the recipe from Nick’s mom. You can find the recipe  Here Xander got this popcorn maker as a white elephant gift. This is the white cheddar popcorn we like. Did you know… Popcorn is over 5,000 years old. World War II’s sugar shortage led to Americans to eat 3x more popcorn. It’s gluten free Nebraska produces more popcorn than any other state. Unpopped kernels are called Old Maids Americans eat 17 Billion quarts every year. It’s the state snack of Illinois. What are your favorite flavors of popcorn?

Rain Chain

  We bought this watering can rain chain last year at Western Gardens, but I couldn't decide where to put it.  Well, I finally decided on putting it in the front yard. I really like it here.  I get to see it everyday and I can enjoy it through all the seasons. I like having stuff that isn't common... That no one else has.  This rain chain is unique to me.
