Domestic Accomplishments

It's rare that much that I do domestically feel like accomplishments, but yesterday two happened exactly in one day! So it must be blogged about!

1) Tessa came out of her room with this item:It is an 18 month jumper, but she called it an apron. As I helped her put it on, I looked at it and I realized I could easily modify it to be an apron. As she has been wanting an apron for a while and I have a pretty high phobia of patterns and fabrics, I jumped at this opportunity. In less than a half hour, she had a new apron! (Sally, hope you don't mind, this was something Abby wore!)
2) My mom was down the other day and we went over to the Roller Mills for flour for her and cracked wheat for me. She asked me what I did with cracked wheat. I told her we mostly ate it for cereal. She told me that she uses it in bread. I thought that sounded pretty yummy, but since she is brave and makes her bread by hand and I use a bread machine I couldn't really make her recipe. So I set out to find one. After finding one that I thought looked good, I threw in a loaf. Although it was edible, it was not worth making again. Typically I'm not too confident in tweaking bread recipes, but I decided that perhaps I could combine two of my favorite recipes and add a little from the cracked wheat one. Amazingly it turned out awesome--and on only one try! Yay for yummy healthy goodness!
