Herb garden DIY project

05.27.14

I hope everyone had a terrific weekend.  It was the first time in a long time that it felt like a LONG weekend for me.  It was nice!  Here’s our weekend haps from busy GCC!  An herb garden DIY project is in the works along with some hill country fun.

The weekend included a party and baking some cupcakes for it.  Along with time with my man, grilling, landscaping and heading out to some local places for food and live music.


Friday:
  • pizza and movie night at home (was wonderful to just chill)
Saturday:
  • Herb garden (finally went in, yay!!!) along with some other gardening
  • I grilled longhorn burgers (dined al fresco) – many huge “thanks” to Boo for doing the gardening
  • Baked!
  • Went to dinner in Clear Springs
  • Music in Lake McQueeney (to listen to our neighbor’s band)
Sunday:
  • “Frosting cupcakes” day
  • We took vehicles in for tire rotations, oil changes, (etc.)
  • Short bike ride with Boo
  • Home cooked Mexican food for dinner (even made tortillas y’all)!
Monday:
  • Slept in some (yay)
  • (5 year old) birthday party (cupcakes in tow)
  • Movies with the hubs (XMen)

The hubs was wonderful in making the frame for my little herb garden bed.  I love this guy!!!  I’m always so thankful that he enjoys gardening because as much as I would love it, I just kill plants and am totally uneducated when it comes to them.  However, an herb garden I can handle after it’s been planted for me.

The garden will have oregano, mint, cilantro, dill, parsley, and rosemary for now.  There’s nothing like having fresh herbs at your fingertips.

I was so happy & thankful to have gotten some rain over the weekend!  Boo’s antique watering cans were all lined up and ready to welcome those wonderful heavenly drops~

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!

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!
