Yesterday. Bad day.
Today. So far so good.

I woke up about 5:30 and had about an hour to myself before Jack woke up so I made some banana bread with flaxseed (the house smells so good, its almost done!) and a cup of tea. Worked on scrapbook stuff and then Jack woke up. He never sleeps long without me next to him. We just reserved more books thru the library system and now I have to decide what to do all day with the boys. At home. Hopefully play outside all day long!!!

And clean my tub. I have an awesome recipe for a coffee body scrub that I've been using, but it sure makes a ring around my tub, if you can imagine.

Thanks, feedmemomma for your coffee grounds!

Here's the recipe:

1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup raw turbinado sugar (I used half a cup because I'm cheap and it was fine)
15 drops peppermint oil
1/2 cup used coffee grounds from a freshly brewed pot

Combine ingredients and store in wide mouth glass jar. Store in cool place for up to 2 weeks.

Apply handfuls of scrub to body in a circular motions, make sure to get those rough spots; elbows, heels, knees. Rinse.
