Vinegar by the Bed

I seriously burned my left thumb the other night and read that Apple Cider Vinegar helps bring down the inflammation and fight infection in blisters.

So, I was soaking my thumb in ACV when Jake called out from bed (a usual custom), "Mo-o-o-o-m, I'm scared."

After adjusting the lighting and finding his fuzzy blanket handmade by Grandma C, he smelled the vinegar on my thumb. "I want some apple cider vinegar water, right here," pointing to his chest of drawers.

Love how my boys love drinking the healthful ACV and water mix. :)

"Mom, I wish there were a fan in my play room," says the 4.5 year old.

"Ya, that would be nice," I reply.

"So I can fart and it will blow away."

As usual, I'm blown away.

Lentil soup in da house

Yes, it's been a while since I've updated... it's not because I lost my opinion or my appetite. Just like everyone else, we've been super busy!

Just tonight I came across a recipe for Lentil Soup on Babble.com. Now that I have the amazing VitaMix, soups are a sinch! (I'm not the only one who has blown the top off a blender before, right?!)

The lentil soup recipe was killer! It tasted fantastic even though my 4 year old said "it looks like dog poop." He still ate it and the 1 year old thought it was fantastic! Next time, I'll add some more fluid because it was rather thick.

This is his second serving! The thickness helped him feed himself.

So delicious, filling and healthy!
