Order Restored

This weekend turned out as lovely as I hoped.

The best part was that we didn't have to do anything.  Yet we accomplished so much:  Farmer's Market; grocery store; every last bit of laundry; a fairly clean house; a stocked freezer courtesy of a batch of banana bread and strawberry muffins,; a Mexican fiesta to celebrate Cinco de Mayo; outside time; playing in the bean box (it's been ages since that made an appearance); practicing letters and shapes; watching movies (Lion King and Fox and the Hound); a chicken fried steak feast (so I could test out my new iron skillet); and Mad Men with the hubs to wind it all down.

As I expected, this productive couple of days and renewed sense of order has me clicking on all cylinders again.

And when mama's happy...everyone's happy!

So enough about me and my psyche.  For awhile at least.  Next week I'll be back with more of the real reason you visit The Elser 411:  Jackson!
