Feeling a bit Martha'ish

I DVR The Martha Stewart Show on the hallmark channel every day, and I watch it at night or on the weekend when I am folding clothes. This past week was beauty week. So many cool things that are just items you can buy in the grocery store or grow in your garden, and I have made a very Martha decision today.

I am going to start making my own beauty products. Com'on! How hard can it be?

So I started tonight. I made a hair mask.

Now, as I have mentioned earlier, as soon as I turned 37 my hair freaked out. I even have my first grey hair!! It sticks up and shouts out like a sore thumb, even though my husband denies being able to see it.

My hair dresser has helped me with my hair, hooked me up with products that repair my hair and products to put in my hair to help it. So in all, I have 5 products that I put in my hair almost every day!! 5, count it out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. crazy!! (Jakob would count 1,2,3,4,9. so damn cute)

With all 5 products I can let my hair air dry, which for my hair is a miracle. Without them, it does not air dry well, basically it freaks out. Tonight, after rinsing out the hair mask, I did not put anything else in my hair and let it air dry. It looks AMAZING!!! I am a beauty product genius!!

1 banana mashed
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey
mix together and smear through hair. It smells soooo good! Even the spider that crawled out of the electical outlet in my bathroom thought so and was ready to jump in the bowl and cleanse itself. Too bad I killed it.

I got in the shower after feeling like I had just been in a food fight, and smelling divine, waited about 10 minutes before rinsing out. (I don't really need to tell you what I did in those 10 minutes, it isn't any of your business) No shampoo, no conditioner, no other products, just the food.

Watch out, I am now addicted after that one hair mask and will now see what else I can get in a food fight with. (Hmmm, I see a name, a logo and an entreprenuer idea brewing, but does the world really need another natural beauty product?)

is anyone out there?

It has been so long since I blogged. So much so that I let my domain expire and it isn't easy to reinstate it…things become more complicated with technology sometimes you just give up. And that is what I am doing now on the domain, giving up and I hope that I can get my monday back. I will be back here.

who does the world revolve around?

Mornings can be very interesting. This morning did not disappoint. Jakob and Kadence wanted apple juice for breakfast instead of milk. Rick didn't want to give them apple juice because he felt that was just weird. He wouldn't drink apple juice for breakfast, so why should they. I laughed and told him that this isn't Rick's world and it doesn't revolve around him. "what!?" Rick turns to Jakob and asks: "Jakob, does the world revolve around me?" "No." was Jakobs reply. So Rick decided to ask him who the world revolved around. I was minding my own business making my breakfast when I heard Jakob say "mommy." Let me tell you, that is one smart little kid.

Birthday cake

When I was little the big thing I always looked forward too on my birthday was the cake. Ok, presents were always good also, but the cake lasted and was always homemade and delish. It was also always a given that the person the birthday cake was for got the first, and last piece. If it wasn't a rule, then I at least followed it. My birthday was this past Saturday and my husband came through with a Mrs. Goodman's cake. (I am still waiting for the year that he braves it and makes a cake from scratch with the kids for me.) Luckily he got a small one, because I ate a slice after my kids sang to me, then I ate a piece after they went to bed. The next day I ate three slices, yes three. I can't stay away from cake it just pulls me in. Besides, birthday cake tastes better than any cake, any day of the year. Monday was Kadence's birthday. There was once slice of my cake left so I saved it for the next day and ate the cupcakes I got for Kadence's family celebration. You...
