Pepper Wars

Ready for a really random story? My brother-in-law recently gave Jimmy a bunch of potatoes and green peppers from his garden. We’ve had them sitting in a bag on our counter the past few days and Sadie kept taking a pepper and putting it on our bathroom counter to “decorate.”

She does this with random things all. the. time. but has never done it with food. I kept moving the pepper back to the kitchen, and kept finding it back in the bathroom! Jimmy decided to start a pepper war and took three of the peppers and placed them around Sadie’s bedroom.

She thought that was so funny and took it as a challenge. So what did she do? She took the peppers out of her room and put them into baby’s nursery (where Jimmy spends most of his time at home lately) so he would find them there.

Life Changed, Peach, and Other Happy Things

It’s official, my life has been changed by a stand mixer. Why didn’t I get one sooner?! What was I doing with my life?

So thankful my sister-in-law was willing to let me adopt it. I’ve already used it more in a few days than she had in a few years, so we are both happy it’s getting some use!

I’ve made a few loaves of bread and brownies with it and it’s so nice to be able to walk away from it and not have messy hands from kneading bread.
