    My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

He likes working outdoors in the cold for a bit so he can come inside and have a “hot cocoa tea party” as he calls it!💋 He loves this tea set and so do I ❣️

    Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.
.
And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂

Doing something I haven’t done in 5 years and channeling my inner “momma”!

Boo and I were shopping in DesMoines and we stopped in at a local tortilleria as I had ordered some masa. However they informed me they only sell in 10 pounds or more... so out the window went my “I’ll just get 5 pounds of masa for tamales” plan. Ten pounds of masa later, I immediately called my sister for backup help! Lol
.
So today is the day for tamales!  First time I’ll make ‘em since my mommas been gone.  So I’m hoping she’s watching and guiding me along. 
.
On a good note... the masa texture looks amazing so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!! Wish me luck!

    Know what a scullery is? . Well, it’s a differen Know what a scullery is?

Well, it’s a different word for a Butler’s pantry. We’ve been updating ours and I find that I’m not a Butler’s pantry kinda girl. I replaced the original door with this beauty of a door I snatched for $12! I repaired the broken panes and  took a piece of plywood to make a new center panel. I then added these details on it. 
.
Our home was built for the David Dancer family in 1883. I added the wash, fold, etc. as the space also houses our laundry room. One of these days I can show you the REST of the space but until now, you get a peek at the lovely old door leading into our scullery!
