a very clean potluck

It is Monday. Let the Potluck begin… Whew. I don’t even know where to get started today.   I am in a Monday fog of potluck-y-ness. Let’s start elsewhere just for fun today! Who doesn’t like a volcano? Well, to clarify it is a small homemade version – Make a volcano. I know I don’t cook much, but this was too fun to pass up… We made Hardtack after visiting the Texas Civil War Museum! I have always loved getting Thank You notes and have tried to send them out when appropriate.   Over the last few years that has not been accomplished to a consistent level. Ugh! {insert apology to all those who DESERVED a thank you note and didn’t get one} So after last Christmas, I made an effort to make it right.   The boys and I created picture thank you cards and sent them in a timely manner. Hallelujah! It was really fun because each boy posed with their gifts so it could be included into their card. Did I mention they WILLINGLY posed? The dirty little secret is that not only did I get Thank You notes out, but I have some of the loveliest pictures of my children which has lasted MUCH longer than the cards {and in some cases the gifts!}. You have seen many of these photos over the last few months on June Cleaver Nirvana… It is a definite to-do again. I just LOVE the pictures! Speaking of photographs, I loved the inspiration from this Pinterest pin:     It is linked to an article at Inspire Me Baby about Chubby Cheek Photography.   It is about capturing everyday moments with your children in pictures.

Take your camera with you to one unexpected place that you regularly go to.  I promise this is addicting! – Chubby Cheek Photography
