June updates

So far, we've had 3weeks of CSA. We get tons of lettuce! I usually don't eat much lettuce but now I eat it twice a day. Ranch is the best dressing EVER! Buy it in the packet and mix with a cup of mayo and a cup of milk. Soooo good soooo many calories!

I am still at home with the kids. They are fun when they are in a good mood and not grumpy and whiny. They can be a pain in the ass when they are unhappy. They can go from really happy to streams of tears in about 2 seconds. Everyday, I try to keep my sanity.

I made some more yummy stuff over the past month: ham & cheese quiche (so quick and so good), chocolate cream pie (so quick to make, so quick to eat), and killer shrimp from THE killer shrimp.

We've been in NJ for 4.5 years. Even though my days are full and exhausting, I feel like we are on an extended vacation. It's peaceful and beautiful here. I always get to play with my kids and listen to their interesting stories and question. We have great neighbors. I've gotten to know a lot of really nice people. There are fireflies. There are deers. And it's just so different from the life we had in California - the one that I call real life. It's less stress. It's all new. We're remote. We're away from reality - whatever that is.
