Shaping the cake

Well I'm gonna try something

After what has felt like true torture the past few weeks with me feeling like a grumpy bear (the stress of our lives is finally really getting to me) I decided this morning to post pictures each day for the next thirty days of things I am thankful for. I may not get them posted on the exact day but will take them daily and post when I get a chance to breath  get on the computer.

Blueberry zucchini bread (free zucchini from our neighbors garden YEAH!)

The fort we made the kids, also $6 total for sheets at a garage sale that I cut and sewed, turned out great!

Another catch up with pictures.

Don giving some love after Brock took a spill.

What better place to be when watching a building blow up.

Heading out fishing

Can you see the pure joy as he caught the fish that will feed us his birthday dinner.

In which I save money and continue my pinterest addiction

The kids and I have been doing a ton of bleach tshirts lately and have found that those darn bleach pens just don't last as long as I would like so after a little internet searching and some "experimenting" in the kitchen I came up with my own recipe.

1/2 cup bleach
3/4 cup baking soda.

I mixed these together in a glass measuring cup and then refilled (rather messily) my used bleach pens. I've already made a couple more projects with the new mixture and it comes out awesome!

Note: This amount refilled three pens but I figured if it was too much I would put the rest in a glass jar until I needed it.
