Yet another unexpected parenting moment: explaining to my pre-teen son how to wash his shoulder-length hair in the shower without getting it tangled.
Yes, son, I had hair much longer than yours for the first 30-plus years of my life. I know a thing or two about hair care. 🤣
I cooked with Ethiopian spices for the first time yesterday. This morning, my kitchen still smells exotic and delicious.
Today’s reminder to double-check all the things: While machine-darning my husband’s shorts, I sewed the pocket lining to the leg. Real good, too, I might add. My only option was to cut the pocket away from the darning, which made for another hole to mend.
Deer sighting in my back yard! Mama and four adolescents, for a total of FIVE deer in my yard just now. At least one of the kiddos had cute little antler nubs.
They ate some weeds, munched on the yew a little, and sampled the grape hyacinths before Mama saw us watching and sauntered away from the house.
I hadn’t realized how much I looked forward to catching up with my work BFF on Monday mornings until she took an unexpected medical leave.
