Is there anything cuter than kids doing yoga together?!

I signed Sadie up for a kids yoga class at our library and the teacher was really wonderful about including siblings (and even parents) who wanted to join in. The kids both enjoyed the class, so we’ll be doing a couple more!

Thank you to everyone who commented about the weird rash/cellulitis situation from my recent post. I was able to schedule an online dermatology appointment and the doctor thought it was poison ivy?! Whatever the case, the rash is finally dissipating! I was having the hardest time sleeping while feeling itchy. It was such a relief that the rash went away… and then Mordecai gave me a cold. So now I’m battling that but it feels like nothing compared to sleeping with an ice pack on my arm 😜

We are using and loving our homeschool room! Sadie finished up her last sign language workbook on the alphabet, so we moved on to one that’s fall-themed. Love it! She was so excited to do a color by number turkey picture that we hung it up. Right next to Mordecai’s adorable scribbles.

Sadie and I have been doing lots of food crafting together lately! I would define food crafting as making edible projects that don’t require intense recipes and are just plain fun. It’s so good for me (as a bakery owner!) to just bake and create for fun, especially while bonding with my favorite girl.

We’ve made chocolate ladybugs.

And fall chocolates with colors!

And last night, we put Rolos on top of pretzels and baked them for a few minutes before putting another on top to make “Rolo hugs” and they were the perfect little dessert after dinner!

Speaking of baking, I’ll be making Sadie’s birthday cake this week! Along with planning that, I’ve been busy in the kitchen with Etsy orders. Lots of birthday-themed chocolate covered Oreos, granola, and wedding-themed chocolate covered Oreos!

I also got to do some really fun baking for a tripe baby shower at our church. One mom is having a boy, one is having a girl, and one is waiting until the birth to find out the baby’s gender. So, I was asked to do cupcakes the corresponded with that. I made vanilla cupcakes with blueberry buttercream, strawberry cupcakes with strawberry buttercream, and chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream!

Sadie and Jimmy went camping in our backyard! We did a campfire and smore’s and then Mordecai and I went to bed while those two camped out! Then the next day, Niva jumped on the (brand new) tent and ripped it 🫠

We visited our favorite ice cream shop (hence the chocolate on Mordecai’s face!).

Niva and I have two therapy visits on deck this week! We did one today at the school for Deaf kids and the second visit will be at our homeschool co-op. I’m excited!

I’m also excited for my next post: it’s going to be a day in the life of my little sister, Hannah. The last one she did was in March 2023! Bye until next time 👋🏻
