A better day today

My little one slept until about 10:45 this morning. I was shocked and finally wound up waking her up.
It was a half day of school for my son. As soon as he got home he and my little one had an indoor snowball fight.
My little one and I read 11 books together. Reading and cuddling with her are my favorite moments each day.
I made a new recipe for dinner “The best garlic bread”. I made Raviloi in red sauce to go with that and because I was hungry for it I made Bean Rarebit. My husband made himself steak and a salad.
It was a much more enjoyable day then many of the other days were this week.

When one is in a good mood the food turns out good as in your case

@allknowing it just happened to be a tasty recipe the new one I tried. I’d make two other garlic bread recipes in the past and they were terrible. This one is a keep. Easy to make too.

@allknowing this wasn’t from scratch. I bought a loaf of French bread at Walmart on clearance for 51 cents. Cut it in half toasted it in the oven then added the ingredients and toasted it until it was ready to eat. I have made fresh baked bread a few times though different kinds.

@snowy22315 it was and today is nice so far as well. My little one and I made the crazy cake you wrote about it’s almost out of the oven. When it cools we will be adding homemade peanut butter frosting. I wonder do they even sell that flavor in stores in cans?

@snowy22315 oh that’s an excellent idea since it has no eggs. I don’t mind eggs in my food but I am squeamish still of them in a dish like deviled eggs etc. it took me 20 years to be able to eat them after stopping when I was 7.

@shaggin I don't think so. I made homemade chocolate frosting for it. I am going to a vegetarian dinner next month. I plan to take it.

@RebeccasFarm the days we are home and not going out anywhere that’s about the average amount we read. I love reading books together.

@GardenGerty it was nice. Today was good too. Tomorrow I have to go out but there is a two hour delay in the morning so I can sleep in. I’m exhausted.

@celticeagle I will miss these days when she no longer wants to do either with me. I missed that after my older kids stopped wanting to cuddle and read with me. Then I got to babysit my niece and got to read to her and now I have my 3 year old.

@shaggin......... But you have collected many memories of when she was that age to look back on later.

@Tina30219 I almost always leave the final load in the dryer to fold the follow day as well.

@Tina30219 I have a clothes line across my kitchen everyone hates. It was there when I moved in and I use it to hang my jeans up to dry instead of going in the dryer. It makes them last years longer.

@shaggin We line dry in our front bedroom that we don’t really use much so it normally does not dry til later at night. We even line dry in the summer outside.

@luisadannointed she’s 3 so her books aren’t very long. Today we have read a lot more than that though.

Now that sounds like delicious food, How old is your little one? I am glad you got her interested in reading, I remember my first trip to the library with Mom and getting a library card, After that,I went through practically all the books in the children's library,

@RasmaSandra my husband made onions and mushrooms to go with his steak I forgot to write that. The garlic bread and ravioli my son and I ate were very good.
What a special memory that must have been for you!

@shaggin It is after I could take the books I would always sit and watch TV with a picture book in my lap
