Changes, Yummy, and a Project

Sorry for all the recent changes to my blog. I just felt so cluttered with the other template. I prefer this cleaner look.

The other day, I was in such a mood for something my mom used to make, Tuna Rice Patties. So, I called her up, got her recipe and whipped up a batch. They were so good and satisfying. Even Bubby loved them! I'm including the recipe in my Recipe Book I plan to publish (possibly sometime this year.)

I have a big project to do and only a short time to do it in! Our first re-enactment is coming up and I have no place for my little boy to sleep! I thought of getting a Peapod Plus Travel Bed, but the cost is a bit more than I can afford right now and it hardly looks 18th century. Then, I remembered I had some tent canvas in the basement. I'm making Bubby his very own little wedge tent! It'll be self standing (no staking needed) and it'll be in our marquee tent. I'm also adding vents made of cheese cloth to keep the air quality good inside and keep the bugs out. It'll be so cute! I'll be sure to add a picture if it actually turns out well.

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some

I'm sorry, but I just have to gripe...

What is it with this trend of calling women "Miss" and their first name? I really dislike being called "Miss Kate." First of all, I am NOT a "Miss" and secondly, Kate is my familiar nickname. I am very proudly Mrs. Scott. Calling me Mrs. Scott does not make me feel old or detached. On the other hand, "Miss Kate" makes me sound like a child and lowered in societal and respectable standards rather than the married mother that I am. I don't want to be called Miss Kate, nor do I want my children to address adult women in that manner. Which brings up another point; men don't receive that kind of watered down respect. They get addressed properly as Mr. Smith, not Mr. John. Unfortunately, the three greatest offenders are a close friend, my sister-in-law, and my church. My close friend, I allow her daughter to call me Kate. We've known each other for so long and she's growing into a young lady, so I have no problem with the fam
