It’s Friday! I can’t believe it, but it’s Friday. Thank. Goodness.
1. We took Sophie swimming for the first time last weekend. The weather was in the 90s, the pool was heated, and it was gorgeous. She had a wonderful time and so did we!

2. Also, there are few things cuter than a baby in a swimming suit. I love all the baby rolls squished into spandex. Gah! So adorable. (Seriously, if you didn’t let out at least a “squee” of adorableness inside your heart, we might not be able to be friends anymore.)

3. It’s funny just how much you make up as a parent. There are so few things I actually feel like I know.

4. One thing I do know is that I can never predict what will entertain Sophie. While waiting for the carpet cleaner to arrive (with all the toys up off of the carpet), Sophie pulled a wooden dowel out of our sliding door and entertained herself for about 15 minutes with nothing more than a wooden stick.

5. I feel restless lately. Like I need a project. Maybe a cooking challenge? (but not cooking through one cookbook) Or training for something? Or sewing something? A quilt maybe? I’m going to keep thinking about it, but I need a project.
I’m all over the place (as usual), but that’s just how it is. Happy weekend!

Ohoooo yeah, I do look forward to visiting with you and adorable baby girl on Fridays. Paige’s baby is due next week.
Hey! I’LL be your project, Emily! That ought to keep you busy for…a few years…at least…
I know how you feel. I’m a SAHM too and I need a project…..even though I’m busy enough lol. I can’t wait to hear what you choose!
I know: You need a PUPPY!!!!!!!!
Camera + heated pool + cute baby Sophie in a darling swimsuit = Happy Grandma
If only the rolls and dimples made available for viewing through the wearing of swimsuits were as squee-alicious in adults. I would be a HUGE hit at the public pool. Alas.
Sophie is a doll. A doll I wish I could squeeze and kiss all the live-long day.
Love her suit! May had that suit last year and I wish I would have bought a size bigger for THIS year! Too cute. I laughed and laughed at the comment that said you need a puppy. Oh my heart… that is the last thing most SAHM’s need, at least in my world. When May asks when we can have a dog I tell her we don’t need pets, Momma has 3
And as for the project.
I’ve been stewing over something that I was going to bug you about, and now that you’ve brought up your need, I’ll spill. Let’s do an “Iron Chef” blog event. I haven’t thought of all the details, but wouldn’t it be fun to have an ingredient and then have a cook-off with said special ingredient and then have people vote on who made the best dish? It just sounded like fun to me. I think pineapple would be a fun ingredient to play with. I’m not sure who else would want to do it though.
What do you think?
Emily! You are amazing!!! I swear, I could use your site as a project… Cook only the amazing foods found here for one month. That would keep me busy, well fed, and I’d gain a lot of weight because I wouldn’t want to share… which would then have to be the focus of the next project.
Fun five facts! You want to come to my house and do the approximately 88,000 projects that have been begging to be done for a year and a half, but I can’t get to?
ps- I have always had a thing for wet babies. I love babies in the pool or in the bath….wet babies are so cute to me.
