Mopping and Mother's Day

Not sure what's gotten into me but I've been on a cleaning and baking jag for the past two weeks!  My domestic goddess adventures include the following:

• Cleaned and vacuumed the car - like serious nook and cranny cleaning followed by a good dousing of coconut spray!
• Cleaned and organized my office and spare room
• Cleaned and mopped the bathroom
• Went through a big box of my dad's pictures, viewing all, reading letters, and organizing.  My next project will be to take photos of all the pictures and share them with the family.
• Examinined and organized a huge tub of vintage jewelry, gloves, and other memorabilia I was given by sis Luna.
• Dusted the entire house.
• Along with making Manny an omelet last weekend, have also made chicken fettuccine Alfredo, shrimp pasta salad, spaghetti, chocolate chip cookies, and peach pie with homemade crust (am obviously experiencing a high carb indulgence diet!)  Thank the Lord we have people to share these goodies with as we are overflowing in food!
• Painted 20+ items in my 5x5 watercolor journal. Close to finishing my 5th book so it's pretty obvious this hobby has become an obsession!
• Started walking again and remind myself daily that the first step is the hardest.

Add in my 40-hour workweek and life has been busy!!

Here's a few more of my watercolor/acrylic pictures. 

This one's for you Jube!

Received the absolute best fortune cookie from a recent Chinese dinner:

On that note, have a fabulous rest of your week!!  Happy Mother's Day!!
