Popsicles, or "popdicalle" as they are sometimes called - You may recall Tricia loves her popsicles. So much so that in the mornings when I wake her up (she's always sleeping in) she often groggily informs me that it is not time for a Popsicle just yet, "no popdicalle, not yet". I agree saying something about after lunchtime. Tricia is often reminding Ryan and I that there have been boundaries placed. Just last night she told Ryan in some sort of run on sentence that "no hit, just gentle; no soapy; no more potty treats, just one; and no suit." As the weather has changed Tricia has been a little depressed that she can't wear her swimsuit everyday....
Best Homemade Popsicles
(thank you neighbour Amanda for this!)
1. Go to the juice section at the grocery store and buy tetra pack gourmet juice (i.e. the not from concentrate kind where the first ingredient is the fruit itself)
2. Return home and open the box. Pour into clean popsicle moulds.
3. Freeze until solid and serve to everyone who needs one.
Note: After some experimenting our house fav's are Lychee fruit and Mango Nectar, they're uh-mazing! Please see Stuff I Like for the best ever Frozen Jewel Popsicle Molds.
Ryan's Birthday - The Skins come to Toronto, and we've got tickets!! - Ryan is 31 and we celebrated with Breakfast in bed. Then we washed all the bedding since we had that much fun with Tricia and Miley joining us, so fun. We also took a trip to the zoo with Josh and Katie, had a family feast and had some special calls from Franks Central. The big news of the day however was Ryan's gift from his oh-so-lovely wife of tickets to see our beloved Washington Redskins play at the Rogers Centre in October - woohoo!! Dream come true! Now, who wants to babysit??
Upcoming.... Swim Lessons - I will do anything apparently (including be in a swimsuit in the middle of winter) for my child. No but seriously, it'll be fun. We're going with friends and it's high time Tricia started learning some water safety, the girl is obsessed with water in any form and needs to know how to be safe.
Curry Feast for Nicole - let's link it to a stand alone page, cause it's that good (it might not be up right when this gets posted so be patient with me)! Recipes and how to's for a do-it-yourself curry feast just like we had for Nicole's birthday this past winter. xoxo my sweet sis-in-law.

Keep the comments coming! This tool has been therapeutic for me, the new mom, but I would love to hear from you (my readers) too. Share your own story with us, or picture or anything at all. I love my community of people from near to far, from here to there, and interesting things are everywhere!
PS - my sister Bethany and I are starting a little business and are preparing for launch as we speak. More to come on that but we will hopefully soon have both our Etsy shop and website up and running. For now I'll just share the name, Firefly Creations by Katie and Bethany, can't wait!
Katie!
ReplyDeleteI am really happy to hear how well things are going for you and your new family! I have finally finished my gift for Trish, and now that the cold weather is starting to come in, she might just be needing it!
Let me know when there is a good time for me to come by and drop it off. Or you could come into WtG some afternoon. Just let me know which you would prefer, so I can make sure I have it with me!
Best of luck as you continue in your journey with your little girl. I've heard some awful stories about potty-training from others I know! My parents started me with swimming lessons right from the beginning and I've loved it ever since! It may have even back fired on them a little, since I'm now always the first one in and last one out of the pool or lake! I even braved Lake Huron this past long weekend! It was cold, but totally worth it :)
Let me know what is good for you regarding the gift.
Best of luck and best wishes!
Meaghan :)
