Today is May 12. In other words, Mother's Day. And here in Cache Valley, it's an absolutely gorgeous day.
So here is how I have celebrated Mother's Day so far:
-I made her a card the Wednesday before
-I woke up at seven to make breakfast for her with my oldest (but still younger than me) sister.
-I said "Happy Mother's Day!"
And that's about it!
But to get a little more serious, mothers are amazing! They kiss your ouchies better, they make you breakfast, they clean your laundry... and all along, they are there with love, a smile, and a bit of fun.
Mothers are amazing. Matriarchs in their family, they lead and teach with love and compassion.
Their ability to influence others for good and nurture them can literally change the world -for better or for worse. Motherhood is power!
So hooray for mothers! And don't forget to tell them thanks for all they do, not just today but every day.
So you have that recipe you want to try out... but then comes the problem of getting permission to use the kitchen.
Well no fear, permission is easy to get if you follow these simple steps:
1- Orchestrate your kitchen use with your parents. In other words, double check that it's okay to use the kitchen.
2- Okay the recipe you're planning on making with your parents.
3- Make sure the recipe you want to make follows all necessary dietary restrictions.
4- Wash the counters you are planning on using before you use them.
5- Make sure the kitchen is clean enough to cook in before you begin.
6- Put ingredients back away as you finish using them.
7- Use minimal dishes for cooking.
8- Keep your mess confined.
9- Don't monopolize the kitchen.
10- Clean up all your mess when you're done. Wash the dishes you've used; wipe down the counters; put everything back away; make the kitchen better than it was when you first started cooking. A great time to do this is while the food is in the oven or on the stove or cooling.
11- Share what you make! Don't monopolize all the goodies.
Getting permission to use the kitchen may not come over night, but if you cook responsibly, it will come. Good luck!
It's really hard to find good healthy deserts that are still satisfying. It's even harder when you're family is dairy-free, and also trying to be processed-sugar free.
But after a lot of search, I found the most amazing, naturally sweetened, dairy free, whole wheat, peanut butter cookies EVER!
And even better, you can eat about 22 of them without feeling sick, if you use a small cookie scoop (1 tsp instead of 1tbsp). I should know; I tried it out.
Many people don't care about what is going on in the world today, and if they do care, they don't understand. And if they do understand, they probably aren't sure how to go about influencing what is happening today.
That needs to change if America's freedom is going to be restored.
My name is Liliana. I've been homeschooled up until 9th grade, and now I'm going to Leadership Academy of Utah.
I am passionate about many things, some of which include current events, the United States Constitution, good books, designing and sewing clothes for me and my 18" doll, debate, and having a clean room.
I am very excited to have this blog and be sharing anything and everything I'm interested in with you.
