a chronicle of our days and half-time efforts at (sub)urban homesteading, musings on parenting, and a whole lot of the mundane, humdrum bits.

all in a day (or two)
a handmade nightgown from her beeba
squeezing fresh grapefruit juice
trying out an avocado brownie recipe that a friend shared
a goofball in the bathtub
they were..... okay. I didn't have chocolate chips so I subbed the darker, more bitter chocolate that I did have and that, along with maple syrup being the only sweetener I used, left them a bit bitter and not quite sweet enough to be called, in my opinion, a real 'brownie'. I plan to tweak the recipe a bit and will share it when I do!
Ah! I've been dying for a homemade nightgown but then I got out of the habit of nightgowns so long ago, when the fight I have with the covers each night made the gown become an armpit tourniquet. Wonder if I could make a waist-long nightgown and pair with some pantaloons. Thoughts?
no doubt the world is your oyster when it comes to your pj preferences- I think the pjs you are describing sound super cute! I myself am not a fan of night gowns, either- they look cute, but I always feel tangled up!
don't they? I've made avocado-chocolate mousse before and that was great. these were a bit bitter and I plan on playing around with the recipe a bit and trying again
the brownies were....... okay. out of necessity I made some substitutions that didn't work really well and I want to tweak it a bit and try again. worth a re-try, at least!
Fun times, made me smile.
