To Market

Today the girls and I woke up and rode with our darling neighbor, Lisa, to the DeKalb Farmer's Market. I love market days, seriously. The girls and I always have a lot of fun. And if they're super well-behaved, I let them walk around the seafood section and look at all the dead fish :) This farmer's market even has live ones...a truly special treat! Then we came home and I prepared dinner...a pot roast! I got a yummy cut of some bnlss pork loin, rubbed it with salt and pepper and a little bit of poultry seasoning and browned it on all sides with some olive oil in my favorite skillet. While that was browning, I cut the onions, carrots, and potatoes and put them in the Crock Pot with some cream of mushroom soup. Then I dumped the roast in there and have been cooking it all day, my house is starting to smell SO yummy! I think I'll make some brown rice to go with the roast...mmm...

On a side note, I am starting my photography business with my mom, A Thousand Words Photography, llc, and I have so much to do!! I still have to get my portfolio together, finish prepping the content for my website...and start taking pictures! I want to read my user guide cover to cover so I know how to work my camera in the dark with my eyes closed ;)

Well, I still haven't folded the clothes that I mentioned in yesterday's post, so I'm off to tend to my motherly duties while Aidan is napping and Skylar is watching Slumberland (weird movie, if you ask me).

Manic Monday

Well. This would be my FIRST blog ever. In the history of ever. I know, right?! I guess not too much to report today. I literally have 5 loads of laundry to fold...which I have been putting off and putting off. We baked (then ate) some lemon poppy seed muffins for breakfast today. Then my dad surprised us and came over a little after noon. Best part of that was: El Pollo Loco for lunch...mmm... Watching my kids chow down is great, I may go as far as to say it's one of my favorite things about being a mom...and their chicken is to die for! Now Aidan is napping and Skylar is "resting" watching Little Bear. I guess I better get started on my clothes (and I still don't know what to make for dinner...yikes).

On the agenda for tonight: Babysitting and reading up on all my photography material. Yay!
