Coffee...

    Today I coffee dyed some computer paper for an Easter project I’m working on for my babies! I have some cute ideas that’s I’m going to be keeping a secret for now! But the pages are drying as we speak! If you’ve never done this or heard of it, it’s super easy! 

    There isn’t a science to it! At least not the way I do it! 

 

    I basically take a sheet pan pour like 1/4 cup of water on it and then sprinkle instant coffee grounds over the top! Then move your sheet of paper around until it’s soaked! Lay it out on parchment paper and then let it dry! The more coffee, the darker your pages! 

 

    Then once they’re finished you can burn the edges to make them seem more vintage and old! 

 

    It’s a fun project to do with kiddos too! I’ve done them for history projects among other things! 

 

    Anyway, i’ll keep y'all updated on my progress! 

 

    In other news, I’m feeling like absolute trash still! I got some zofran today from my doctor! Thank the Lord because the phlegm drainage is real, real fuckin’ annoying! 


    I pray that with the coming days i’ll start to feel better! If the sinus pressure headaches would stop, I think I’d be okay! But that doesn’t seem to be stopping any time soon. 

 

    I have a constant flow of Tylenol and Advil in my system and nasal spray, lots of nasal spray! 

 

    Happy Thursday, I’m off to soak my body in vicks vapor rub and drown my sorrows in bad tv and snacks! 

 

XOXO

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
