Less than 3 months til we depart. WHOA.
Less than 1 month that Josiah won't be my little baby anymore. Guess it's time to have another one! ;)
Speaking of Josiah, I'm planning a party for him. At first, Michael was highly against throwing our 1-year-old a birthday party. But then he remembered we're leaving the country and this may be one of the few birthdays he gets to celebrate with friends and fam for a while. (just so you know, I would've fought my way through it had he not agreed...with love, of course!) We're going to grill out at a park. Should be a blast. I'm also going to make him his own cake. I haven't given him many sugary foods up to this point, so why would I throw his body into overdrive by letting him eat as much sugar as he wants just because he's reaching a milestone? Not gonna have it. It'll be sweet..but made with fruit or something. I'll have to find a way to make some sort of icing, though. Maybe out of cool whip or something. Still want to see him smash it all over his face, of course!
We're also planning a benefit dinner (for ourselves..haha..ok, lots of other people are helping plan as well) for early June. Pretty excited about that one. Former KU b-ball player will speak, good food, and a silent auction. Still LOTS of planning to do, though!
I found the mom's day gift idea here:

This link is a recipe for home made vanilla sugar body scrub... she also has link at the bottom of her post for a few other ideas, one being a lemon sugar body scrub. I just texted our moms and said, "no questions, just answer... vanilla or lemon?" lol I got to make one of each!
The BEST part was it was ALL stuff that I had in my pantry, plus I already had two extra jars on hand. I spray painted the lids black to make them a little nicer and tied ribbon around the jars when I was done. Oh, also I cut each recipe in half (for my "normal" sized canning jars) because I was going to have a TON left over.
Well there ya go, Have fun!!! =)
