My morning with my girlies!! 🥰

This is what dreams are made of...

We are making progress with trauma-related behaviors at our house, but the truth is that meltdowns, tantrums, crying, fits, and screaming are all a big part of our days - multiplied by seven kids.

THIS MORNING THOUGH? We had a bit of calm. The bigger littles were at school, BabyBoy#11 was napping, and the three little girls were playing happily. I decided to see what I could get ahead on in the kitchen, and by the time all was said and done, I knocked out this:

Mudballs (multiplied x8)
Bran Muffins (x2, recipe coming soon)
Breakfast Cookies (x2)

We were all still in jammies (or diapers, ha), and it didn't take long for all of the girls to come "help" me with eggs and measuring. But they stayed sweet and made a huge mess and we were able to actually enjoy our time together. Imagine all that we'll be able to enjoy together when they're old enough to make a recipe on their own! What a gift these kids are!

I'm so thankful God gave me a special morning with them. Some days are pretty discouraging when all we do is clean up tantrum-related messes. (Just a few days ago, an unnamed fit-thrower chose to open a full canister of baby formula and throw it all over a bedroom. Ugh.)

Easy Cheesecake Recipe

I've been making this easy cheesecake recipe for years, and finally got around to sharing it here. I've made it multiple times lately because a local college student LOVES it. It's fun to bless him with a pan every once in a while.

Vanilla making time!

I'm hoping to get a huge batch of homemade vanilla started soon. You should try this at home! (We all get a big discount on vanilla beans - details here.)

It feels like spring today!
