<br />
Sara here. I just wanted to announce that I have moved to a new blog! I am pursuing my etsy business a little farther and this blog will branch off of that.<br />
<br />
I am keeping my identity private on this new blog, but will still be using pictures of us :)<br />
I have a post to my reasoning.<br />

I have been feeling guilty about not taking mice pictures of Hudson lately. I catch a few of these moments on my phone, but nothing compares to those 18 megapixels and fancy lenses.<br />

We are in a heat advisory, and making the most of it. Thank you Wal-mart $21 purchase.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I came home tonight to an empty home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">No beautiful little woman sitting on her red couch, watching golden girls, looking up at me when I walk in saying "theres my love!".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Notice the red couch </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">No one to tell "I love you roomie" as she shuffles to the stairs to head to bed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Tomorrow morning, when I walk up from my room, She won't be there with her cute little smile, as she looks up from her bible. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have absolutely no words to describe how unbelievably blessed I was to live with my grandma for 6 months. My grandma is moving on to better care in an assisted living home. Walking in to this empty home... it really hit me. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">As I sit here in my grandpas favorite chair, looking at an empty red couch, I really miss her. My Grandma.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Jesus, You are good. Jesus, You are faithful. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It is all pure selfishness that I want her to stay here. But we all know this is whats best for her. She is in SUCH good hands!! I think my entire family is glad my superhero Auntie M found such an amazing home. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I'm not sure if I've said this before but, I have the most amazing family. Ever. I have these crazy aunts who would do just about anything for anybody! If I grow up to be like them when I'm older, I'll know I did SOMETHING right!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I realize this isn't it. Grandma lives just 20 minutes away. I'm still going to go and watch our golden girls and the odd couple together. Bring her some chocolates that I know she loves. Talk about how much we love those swiffer commercials with the cute old couple... you know what I'm talking about!! And try and soak up as much of her wisdom as I can! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Today is my last day of being 25.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">25 has been good to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">25 I bought a car, I moved out of my parents home and in with my grandma and was able to spend some amazing quality time with my grandma, I worked with/met some absolutely amazing women at my salon, I had 2 more beautiful nieces born, I was trained in by the master himself, and my bestest friends Molly and Ryan moved 5 minutes away from me. I worked like an adult and played like a kid. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">25 was challenging though. A lot of emotions. 25 I lost my grandpa but moved in with grandma. I fell hard for a man and had my heart broken but loved my Jesus that much more. I found myself so consumed with hair and work that I wasn't always the best friend I should have been. My family has been a hot mess this year. And holy crap was 25 expensive!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">But...25 has been so good to me. Through all of those experiences and challenges, I grew up a lot. I learned a lot. I matured a lot. Sure did cry a lot but also loved a lot. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Even though she is a bajillion miles away (ok ok... more like an hour and a half), Sara has always been there for me. Whether or not she knew it...She always had my back. She's always been my constant, my best friend, my sister... She's my person. No matter how many miles away we are from each other, she will always be a part of my life in the biggest way possible. I can't do life without her! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Best Birthday present. Ever. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Ok 26... I'm not exactly ready for you yet but, you're coming anyways! Might as well make the most of you!</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I can feel it... 26 is gonna be exciting! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Here's just a few things I want to do before 27:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">*Go skydiving</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have been using this stuff for two years now and still love it.<br />
<br />
I knew it wasn't as strong as I would have preferred, and I heard a rumor about Young Living Purification oil and how it can be used as a deodorant. I immediately went for my go to oil (coconut) and mixed 5 drops Purification with a half baby food jar of coconut oil. I layer that on first, followed by the natural powder I use from the above-mentioned post. It's now my daily routine and I love how it works!<br />

I have never used dry detergent myself, so I chose the liquid.<br />
<br />
The most common recipe for the liquid world is a mixture of Fels Naptha, Borax and Super Washing Soda. I used this my very first time making the detergent and made the whopping 5 gallons. After about 2 weeks, my stored gallons became gloppy and disgusting. I didn't even end up using it all.<br />
<br />
The next time I went to make the detergent, I had the Fels Naptha bar in my hand. A friend of mine interested in keeping things natural, said to me, "What's in that little bar you have there." I looked.<br />

A little vague and mysterious if you ask me- nothing I wanted on mine, or my son's skin. So I kicked the little 99 cent bar of soap to the curb and did some research. I wanted something that was safe for Hudson's clothes, yet strong enough to clean our clothes.<br />
<br />
I came across the Dr. Bronner's bar soap recipe, the same, just with a natural bar of soap. I wasn't a fan of this- The soap was REALLY white and left big white marks on all of our clothes. I also didn't feel like our clothes were very clean. I did, however, make this in a one gallon batch and really liked that.<br />
<br />
I have always wanted to try the Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castille Soap, but the price always deterred me. I saw it at Trader Joe's for 9.99 (Target 18.99- amazon was more expensive than Trader Joe's as well). I decided to give it a try.<br />

<br />
The recipe for this type was more simple and less time consuming. Win. It didn't leave white spots on my clothes. Win again. I used peppermint, and my clothes didn't smell like peppermint when they were done washing. Another win. Just fresh and clean!<br />
<br />
**A tip I highly recommend- First turn the water on HOT in the washer and let it run into your measuring cup, then turn the temperature to what is recommended. The Borax and Super Washing Soda haven't stayed dissolved for me. They dissolve instantly in hot water.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1/2 c Borax<br />
1/2 c Super Washing Soda (Different from Baking Soda)<br />
1/2 c Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap (Your favorite scent)<br />
__________________<br />
<br />
If you like Essential Oils, Young Living's Purification is a great oil to add when it has cooled. 5 Drops should be sufficient for a gallon batch.<br />
__________________<br />
<br />
In your desired container, pour in the Borax and Super Washing Soda. Mix the dry powders well. Add HOT tap water and stir vigorously until completely dissolved. Then add the Castile Soap. Stir. Makes about a gallon. ( I use an old laundry detergent container) Let it sit overnight.<br />
<br />
Use 1/3 c of detergent per load. <br />

So much to do and so little time. I didn't have time to be sucked in to pinning a million different pins. <br />
<br />
One day, I decided to make pinterest work for me, instead of against me. I decided that I would actually use the valuable information- not just place it on a back burner of my ever-growing boards. I came across this little treasure (might I add with the instructions IN the caption, my fav!) and decided to actually do it. I put it together, loved it, and ACTUALLY use it! I also added a young living essential oil twist. Getting excited to what it is?<br />
<br />
Here is <a href="http://awesomehomepins.com/2013/01/27/equal-parts-vinegar-and-dish-soap-in-a-scrubby-to-wash-the-tub-after-each-use-find-a-dish-wand-with-a-hole-in-the-end-so-it-can-be-hung-right-in-the-tub/" target="_blank">one</a> of the many sites that provide this- I just had to share as well! I am TERRIBLE at routine cleaning outside of my kitchen. So when I saw this, it was a no brainer. Where has this been all of my life! You keep it in your shower. After each shower, wipe down the sides and the tub. Plus, my version is chemical free! I also use it in my bathroom sink. Works so well and so simple!<br />
<br />
Here is what you need:<br />

Use a 1:1 ration with this and keep it in your shower! I promise you will love it! After trying this (yes, it works great without the oil too!) I had to, of course, incorporate young living oils! I added a couple drops of <a href="http://www.youngliving.com/essential-oils/Lemon" target="_blank">lemon</a> for the antibacterial properties and a great fresh scent! </div>

<br />
We had the amazing opportunity to work with April Sauers at IHPOC {In Hot Pursuit of Color}. I shared my ideas of what I wanted and she was quick to accommodate us! She was amazing with Hudson, and as you will see below, incredibly talented! On top of it all, I love that she is a photo journalist; capturing every moment, and every detail. Her work tells a story from beginning to end. <br />
<br />
I can't stop looking at these pictures, as they capture Hudson's cake smashing experience so well. So many laughs were had this day as we watched Hudson tear apart that cake. What an amazing memory to document. <br />
<br />
You can check out her website <a href="http://inhotpursuitofcolor.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a> and her facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/InHotPursuitOfColorPhotography" target="_blank">here!</a> She is an excellent choice for a Central Minnesota Photographer. <br />

It's Hudson's birthday. How did this happen? Where did the time go? I have spent years dreaming up what he would look like. I spent 9 months preparing for his arrival. He has spent the last year teaching me what real love feels like. <br />
<br />
I have never known and emotional roller coaster like being a mom. I have a new vigor for life. I am comfortable with giving all of myself every day. This little person has me wrapped around his finger and me begging for more of everything that he is. <br />
<br />
I love him more than the day he was born (didn't know it was possible). I soak in every feature, every expression, every breath. He reminds me of how life is a miracle. <br />
<br />
He is the meaning perfection. His eyes, his nose, his lips. Every smile melts me a little more. I would do anything for him. <br />
<br />
I love how he has changed my life for the better. I am a much better person. He has strengthened my marriage and brought us closer as a family then I could ever have imagined. Life is beautiful from this amazing gift entrusted to us. <br />
<br />
Oh, am I ever thankful for him.<br />

<br />
So much has happened in a year. It feels like a blink of the eye, but that its been forever.<br />

The first month we were just getting acquainted. Perfect and small in every way. I couldn't put him down. I was so tired I couldn't see straight and dreaded the night time. At a week old, we were showing our house in Minneapolis and it sold. Miracle! So we packed up and moved when Hudson was just over a month. <br />

Month two. We had moved in to Kyle's Aunt's house. How gracious was she to invite a newborn and his parents into her home! My little boy was starting to get personality and beginning to smile! He was finally out of newborn clothes and in to 0-3 months. I cried packing away his new born clothes!<br />

Month Three. We were headed up to camp this month. 5 weeks in Alexandria. At this point, Hudson had lived in a different city every month of his life. What a trooper. He would get stronger and stronger. Tummy time was the worst thing we could do to him. Teething began, his first cold had hit hard, and laughs began at the end of this month. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Month four. The first week of this month was our last week at camp and it was back to Cold Spring. We had started the journey with our new chapter in life- Moving to Sartell, MN for Kyle to become a youth pastor. We began the house hunt and fell in love with "the one" I took pictures of Hudson in his future room. Teething was still in full swing, yet no teeth. Started this month on rice cereal. He could up quick on his weight and needed the extra food! The puppy became a very wonderful object to stare at. <br />

Month five. Become more and more active and alert. Never content with just staying in one place. We moved into our new house this month. So much change for a little man and he did great!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Month six. Just began sitting up- not yet stable though. His first two bottom teeth cut through this month. Cute as ever and so happy. What a joyful little boy. Had his first Halloween and dressed up as a lumberjack. First solids this month. Favorites being sweet potatoes and peas.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Month seven. So busy! Rolling all over the place- never have seen such a thing! So cute. Mobility makes for a busy mommy. Enjoyed Thanksgiving and cutting down his first Christmas tree. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgRfjQV6ZVjJDt3H2gjiSXGdL-8zkTP76xGoAgStRuNygT8OdgWftp2U5GKGLAqPk2A8u0qTeH4ARVIX-Im3okjglrkJ-hFCfv5AMQz_uxQe1-zZha_rYPoFVxwYvfjBqjmPR23M2dXK3/s1600/8+months.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgRfjQV6ZVjJDt3H2gjiSXGdL-8zkTP76xGoAgStRuNygT8OdgWftp2U5GKGLAqPk2A8u0qTeH4ARVIX-Im3okjglrkJ-hFCfv5AMQz_uxQe1-zZha_rYPoFVxwYvfjBqjmPR23M2dXK3/s640/8+months.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
Month eight. So may fun Christmas activities. Lots of Christmas jammies. Even Christmas socks. Opened up his first presents. Began crawling and standing. Can sit back down at night when you stand up in your crib! More and more amazing every day. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Month nine. More and more handsome! So much personality and makes us laugh every day. Standing up and walking along furniture. Mobile amazing little boy. Started saying "ba" and "pa" for puppy. Priorities right? He began picking up his own food! A little more independent! He momentarily used the sign language I taught him.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Month ten. Talking all the time. "ma" became part of the vocabulary. Talk about best word ever. He is so amazed with everything and is in full discovery mode. He is so smart and shocks us every day. His personality is so funny. Traveled for the first time to Arizona! Was so good on the airplane.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfyl-vmcIvj-JbxAnjIPEecVUEJnZCh5dtAVrFtc7tEHCxYyFz19YcYP621e5ZOsN8Rmge3M01AViREaRGQvBXiFEEyb77rFTCywoHtHBw2mp6_yYh7b3-mLAWp-2djhGFx0MHx88Qg-2/s1600/11+months.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfyl-vmcIvj-JbxAnjIPEecVUEJnZCh5dtAVrFtc7tEHCxYyFz19YcYP621e5ZOsN8Rmge3M01AViREaRGQvBXiFEEyb77rFTCywoHtHBw2mp6_yYh7b3-mLAWp-2djhGFx0MHx88Qg-2/s640/11+months.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Month eleven. Taking steps. Amazing to watch him go! Not totally stable yet. Crawling is still the preferred mode of travel since it is faster. Such a good eater. Loves fruits and veggies and water. Plays peekaboo on his own. Belly laughs. Loves being tickled. "da" makes an infrequent visit to his vocabulary. Loves other kids. Loves obstacles and climbing. Finally loves and has an attention span for sitting and reading books. Temper-tantrums have begun! This early, really?! He cries when he realizes his breakfast is all gone- every morning. Loves games and to be chased around. He is such a delight! <br />
<br />
We made it through the first year. Oh has it been a great year.<br />
<br />
I love this blog as a place to keep memories. I love reading my birth story from when it was fresh- so I can never forget every detail. I never want to miss a moment. <br />
<br />
<em>Dear Hudson,</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>I love you so much. You have been such a blessing to me and your da-da. We can't imagine life with out you and how evident God was in the timing of you being brought in to our lives. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>You have made us better people and make each day brighter than the last. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Mommy is so proud of you. You amaze me all the time with how smart you are. It's so cool to see your interest in music and how you drum and sing at the same time. You dance to everything and it brings me so much joy. You already have a great throwing arm and the only thing that grabs your attention on tv is sports. I cannot believe you can already hit a ball around with a mini hockey stick. You are so talented already and I can't wait to see where your interests lead you. I can't wait to encourage and support you in everything you do. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>I love picking you up in the morning. You smile from ear-to-ear as I poke my head through your door. I love approaching you as you bob your head and lift your arms to give me a big hug around my neck. You let me know you love me.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>I love having meals with you. You are a foodie just like your mother. Your eyes get so big as you try new things. You are good are sharing too. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>You are the most amazing thing. I pray for you every night as I lay you in your crib. I know God has special plans for you. I pray for your health. I pray for your future. I pray for your safety. I pray that God would make me a better mommy to you every day. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>I hope to encourage you, support you, and love you in every way that you need. I will keep you in line where you need to be, and try to help you become the man of God you are called to be. You are such a gift and Mommy is so thankful for you.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>I can't wait to watch you continue to grow, you just need to promise it won't be too fast. Never stop being my little boy. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>With all my love,</em><br />
<em>MOMMY</em><br />
<br />
Happy Birthday, Hudson Elek! I love you!<br />

He thought the Easter eggs were pretty awesome. He loved shaking and eating them. Next year will be fun when he can do an Easter egg hunt. <br />

You know it's spring in Minnesota when it hits 40 degrees and people are wearing shorts and opening their windows. You also know when its spring you are pulling dog hair off of everything because your dog is shedding her winter coat!<br />
<br />
I have a favorite spring/summer drink when I am not in the mood for coffee at Starbucks. Passion Tea Lemonade. Maybe you have tried it... it's the best. I call it a PTL for a reason. <br />
<br />
Did you know you can buy Tazo Passion Tea at the grocery store?<br />
<br />
On the tea bag describes it:<br />
"An exuberant herbal infusion of hibiscus, orange peel, rose hips & passion fruit flavors"<br />
<br />
It's amazing iced by itself, but it's even more amazing as a Starbucks knockoff. <br />
<br />
Here is how to make it at home!<br />
<br />
Equal parts lemonade (I used Simply Lemonade with Raspberry, regular lemonade will give you that amazing tartness) and water. Add the tea bag and steep until you see that dark hibiscus color come through. Mix, add ice, and enjoy your spring in a cup!<br />

Don't even get me started on my sad trips to the store, staring at the newborn necessities. Or packing away the clothes that he has now long ago outgrown. The memories of being pregnant and folding and refolding the clothes I dreamed of my baby wearing.<br />

I feel like I missed out on so much when he was first born- I was exhausted and had so many issues. I wish I could remember each moment when he was new. <br />
<br />
But on to my point of this post. <br />
<br />
I have learned a lot over this last year. My induction into mommyhood is still just beginning, but I like to think that I have passed the first course. Here is a humorous look into what I have learned in my last year.<br />
<br />
You can always hold a burb rag and still be covered with all sorts of baby liquids.<br />
<div align="right">
No matter how well you think you have this down, something always changes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sitting down and watching tv when I want was an extremely selfish thing of the past</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
I am capable of doing anything with one hand, including my makeup and cleaning the kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dinner for my family includes cooking, serving, cleaning, and if I am lucky, eating. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Restaurants and movies were a luxury of the past</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Socks are a conspiracy. No matter how hard I try to keep them together, there is never a match with baby socks.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Pureed peas are delicious, but whole ones are not</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Taking a shower is like a tropical vacation</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Naps give you the ultimatum of napping, showering, cleaning, or sneaking a moment of "me" time</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The second I start painting my nails, the baby is up</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
The dog makes an excellent vacuum after meal time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bottle warmers either scald, or don't do their job in the slightest</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Making your own baby food is a great idea in theory</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pajama hand me downs are the best thing ever</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
mama is the greatest word ever spoken</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
why did I ever complain about doing errands before I had a kid</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
baby fingers can find in your carpet what you can't see with your eyes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Selling your home and moving with a month old is not meant for the weak of heart</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Planning a first birthday is a bigger deal than all my birthdays combined</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
and so much more.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What other things have you learned from becoming a mom that makes you laugh?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I can't shake this feeling of happiness, nor do I want too. This ecstatic bubble I've been living in this past year... especially these last few months. They never have to go away. They can keep growing and flourishing into my beautiful life. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
This past year has had some extreme up's with a handful of extreme downs. And I love that I'm at this point in my life where I can see God in every single aspect of those moments. Those moments of relationships broken, dreams being fulfilled, best friends moving away, additions to our family and the unfortunate loss of one of the best men I've ever known. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
I'm moving out of my parents house in the next few days and I have just been slapped in the face with this feeling of emotional bliss... Thankfulness... surreal gratitude?? My words can't completely describe this feeling. I feel like we go through hard ships and find ourselves on our knees asking God to provide, to take away our pain, to fix our problems. We really worship Him and ask all these things of Him but, when He actually does provide and we aren't "needing" his help, we don't give Him the praise or thanks. We almost forget about Him until we find ourselves needing his help again. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">
Not this time. I have this constant praise for Him. Without Him, I would have come out of those hard ships a completely different person. He's heard my cries, He's put me back together after I've been torn apart, He's been my rock. How can I not give him even just the simplest of thanks?</div>

It is from a time-era I have never been a part of. It's branching off of stories I have heard my grandma tell. <br />
<br />
It's when life was simplistic. It's when families were together. It's when homemade was the only option. It's when frugal was the norm. <br />
<br />
I have been drawn lately to movies that take place in the 50's and 60's. I love seeing these families portrayed the way they are. I am so sick of tv now where dramatic and disrespectful are on every channel. Where I regularly think, "can they say that on tv?" Life was once pure and humor was innocent. Men were taught to respect women, and women had more sense of worth. Chivalry was alive. <br />
<br />
I want my son to grow up enjoying simplicity. I want him to read and play and get dirty. I want him to dig for worms. I want him to use his imagination. I don't want him to live in a completely electronically centered world. I want him to work and earn what he has. Not just live in this society where everyone is entitled. I want him to look up to and learn wisdom from his elders. <br />
<br />
I love having the ability to create myself. I am addicted to making family dinner where we all sit together; I love making my house a home- I don't want to miss out on these labors of love. <br />
<br />
There is something with laboring with your hands. You feel accomplished and there is pride in your work. This brings me to baking bread. <br />

I have tried on and off for a couple years to make a good loaf of bread. I started with my bread machine and have ended up kneading with my hands. <br />

I love kneading dough. I love putting strength into it. I love feeling the warmth under my palms and the inviting smell drift through my home. This work makes me feel like life is a little more simple. That I haven't lost where we came from. The everything branches from someone's hard work, and that even today, I can be a part of that. <br />

This bread is really good. It's soft. It tastes good. It's easy. And I feel comfortable feeding it to my son with its simple ingredients. It fills my soul with the simplicity I crave. (Find the recipe <a href="http://www.ahintofhoney.com/2009/05/whole-wheat-potato-bread.html" target="_blank">Here</a>)<br />
<br />
May I never forget what simplicity looks like. <br />

She is very good about seeing Hudson every couple weeks. Through exhaustion, housework, and regular work, I feel filled. My mom always brings me a settled feeling through her time here. <br />
<br />
I love sharing projects, ideas, recipes, and thoughts with her. She is definitely one of my best friends. She is kind and complimentary and can boost my confidence. There is nothing like hearing "I'm proud of you" from a parent. <br />
<br />
What I love most is that her grandson is a priority. She makes a countdown days before she comes. She loves on him and adores him. She makes him belly laugh the whole time she is here. <br />

<br />
Anyone can do the above with him, but you can see he reciprocates her feelings. He lights up when he sees her. His eyes sparkle. He asks bashful, yet excited. <br />

<br />
I love watching them interact. She is the only one that acts completely like a mad person- bouncing around with a high pitched voice, and he just soaks it in. She is fluent in Hudson. She speaks his language. <br />

I am so blessed to think there are others that love my son as much as I do. He is such a lucky boy to have both parents completely smitten with him, as well as a family that surrounds him with joy and love.<br />

I had basic essential oil knowledge- they provided some training when I went to school at Aveda. Aveda's essential oils are pure in quality, but only meant to be used topically or by diffusing in the air. Young Living has such a large inventory, and most of them are pure enough to ingest. Quality! <br />
<br />
A sweet friend of mine introduced me to these oils. I had no idea how endless the possibilities were with these oils. I purchased quite a few, then she suggested to me to become a distributer. So I did, and am learning more and more every day. If you need something, let me know. <br />
<br />
I have slowly been changing the products in my home to the more natural kind. I was using Seventh Generation cleaner. It worked well, and was very affordable. <br />
<br />
When I ran out, and after some research, I decided to make my own all purpose cleaner. I used my old Seventh Generation bottle, and went to work mixing. <br />
<br />
I love this cleaner and use it for everything. I feel safe using it on Hudson's high chair, and it works great to clean mirrors. <br />
<br />
Here is one of the best parts- there are only 4 ingredients! Cheap - Safe - Effective! Can't beat it. <br />
<br />
<strong>I filled my old Seventh Generation spray bottle with equal parts vinegar and water. Then for the oils, I use 5 drops Young Living Purification oil, and 5 drops Young Living Lemon oil. Mix it and done!</strong> <br />

Lemon is a antiseptic, antifungal, and antiviral oil. <br />
<br />
The aroma took a little while to get used to- but at least it's not a strong chemical smell! It smells like ginger. I use it in my kitchen, my bathroom- anywhere! It works really well!<br />

Well, it's Kyle's favorite. <br />
<br />
I have had this need to create some cake that incorporates his favorite things for each birthday. Sometimes its good, and sometimes it's a flop.I had some great compliments on this one, so I will take it as a success. <br />
<br />
I had seen the idea of this cake a while back, just had never looked in to how it was made. I purchased some ingredients that would create what I needed and, Voila! Dairy Queen Cake knock off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag119/saraecurran/c5913cd4-b473-4fc9-b11c-311ccb19f8ce_zps529485c0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag119/saraecurran/c5913cd4-b473-4fc9-b11c-311ccb19f8ce_zps529485c0.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Here is how I made this rich cake dripping with hot fudge.<br />
<br />
- Ice Cream Sanwiches (Depends on how big you want the cake)<br />
- 2 packages oreos<br />
- 1 jar hot fudge<br />
- Hershey's Chocolate Syrup<br />
<br />
1.) Make sure that the ice cream sandwiches are frozen solid. Also put your serving platter in the freezer at least one hour before you assemble the cake. <br />
<br />
2.) Play lincoln logs. 3 sandwiches in each direction are equal length and width. Make your base layer the size you desire. <br />
<br />
3.) In a bowl, mix crushed Oreos (make sure they aren't too fine. For my size cake I used 3/4 package of Oreos) 1/2 c hot fudge (not yet warmed) and 1/4 c Hershy's syrup. Spread evenly over base layer of sandwiches. <br />
<br />
4.) Stack next layer of ice cream sandwiches- begin heating hot fudge.<br />
<br />
5.) Spread a thin layer of Hershey's syrup over the top of the second layer of sandwiches. Crush large pieces of Oreo's over the top. Evenly distrubute them to cover the top. Drip the heated hot fudge over the top of the oreo pieces. <br />
<br />
Be sure to freeze the cake at least an hour before serving. <br />
<br />
Enjoy! This cake is a multi-person pleaser! Partying with the <a href="http://www.thegingerbreadblog.com/2013/03/sweet-saturday-link-party-v69.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed: GingerbreadGirl (gingerbread girl)" target="_blank">Gingerbread Girl</a><br />

<br />
The night before, we headed down to St. Paul for a MN Wild Hockey game. Hudson thoroughly enjoyed that and was wide-eyed the entire time. <br />
<br />
The day of, we had some Italian for lunch and prepared for a party! It was so fun being close to where Kyle grew up so a lot of his friends could come. New and old, we had a blast together. <br />
<br />
I had asked each attendee to bring an package of oreos or a 12 pack of mountain dew, Kyle's favorite. Let's just say we have an ungodly amount of junk food. Hopefully it will take him a long time to get through!<br />
<br />
Here are some pics from the night:<br />
