I missed a week so this doubles as both!
We semi co-sleep. As in, she starts off in her bed and migrates to ours sometime in the wee hours of the morning. Remember this….
Yeah, so since she has free reign to remove herself from her now toddler bed I welcome her sweet face into our bed when she feels the urge, which is every night.
She is my last baby and I adore feeling her little body nestled under mine as I enjoy my tiny sliver of bed real estate which is usually on the very edge. Her feet in my back or my hair tangled in her hand. I really do. I enjoy these moments because I will never experience them again.
I write this at 4:30 a because she punched me in my face in my sleep and now I’m up. PUNCHED! Yes, my face is hurting. I wanted to cry. I didn’t know what hit me, and to think she never woke up. The sleep place violence is becoming increasingly and increasingly more prevalent and I know I can’t make her stay in her bed so I need some suggestions. My son slept with my mother when she was alive and when she died we didn’t have an issue with him he was old enough to stay in his own bed.
How did you rectify the bed bullying?

What’s good?
I kicked off the weekend festivities with my good friend Niya. We celebrated her birthday at Benihana and then headed over to a cafe for some karaoke fun. I sang, En Vogue, and a few other tunes. I did the wobble. Like seriously. I love to do the Wobble. Love.
Saturday morning, headed out to my son’s basketball game and right afterward we headed south to Tallahassee, FL. My stepdaughter had a birthday party and my family to include my two nieces headed down for some birthday fun.
It was a turn around trip. We left here at 11 right after my son’s basketball game, got to Fl around 2:30 and we were back here at 11a Sunday morning.
Took a nap then headed out to the grocery store, because when I say our cupboards were bare…they were BARE. BEAR. and BAYER.
Busy week ahead. Photos are to be back by the end of the week and we are currently working on a press opportunity for Divinitee so I am way excited about that. Deets to come.
All of my new readers, commenters and followers, I see you. I’ll be making my rounds. Welcome, thank you for stopping by here. I appreciate ya!
I didn’t take many photos this weekend, just soaked in time with the family but squeezed in an outfit pic for the Monday Mingle link up which is hosted this week by Mom Trends

You know the drill.. How was your weekend?
I made biscuits. From scratch. Me, all by myself…okay with the help of a Paula Deen recipe but my execution was perfect for once.
Here’s the story.
Once upon a time I went to Publix. Although I knew better, I went without a grocery list and as usual I forgot many things to include bread, Ritz crackers and biscuits. Instead of rushing out in the dreary and rainy weather I thought for sure that I might have all of the ingredients on hand to make homemade biscuits after my attempt at making those nasty cupcakes over Christmas. Well call me Suzie Homemaker I had all of the ingredients..barely, but I had them.
I started off by cubing the butter..at least this is my take on it.
Then it said something about cutting the butter into the flour mixture. Cutting? *blank stare* I translated that to mean mash, so that’s what I did.
Since I never have proper utensils I settled on using my cutting board to roll out the dough. “Roll out” to be taken lightly seeing I have no rolling pin and instead flattened it with my hand.
Next I had to cut out the biscuits with a biscuit cutter. Please no shade or laughter at my biscuit cutter.
The recipe stated to butter the pan. Instead I used Baker’s Joy
My oven has been known to sabotage me and thwart my efforts at being great in the kitchen so while the recipe called for 12 minutes I started off at 8 min and they were ready in 10.
Yahhh!!! I did it. If you try this recipe, note that it says it yields 3 dozen and I only got a dozen because I wanted them thick. Ow!!!
What are you good at making from scratch?
