1. I'm looking forward to Sunday. If the weather clears up we are getting our bathing suits on and taking Taz to the dog park on the ocean. We'll all get into the water with him and the other dogs.
2. I have a two tiered garden in the back yard which I neglect and don't weed as often as I should. It's time for me to get out there again and clean it up. In the frong yard we have a raised fower bed with bushes. I need to get out there too and reshape them. 3. I'm usually up around 7 but throughout the night I wake often and usually watch a tv show or two until I fall back asleep. 4. I made pumpkin loaf and we ate it all up in 2 days. I try to bulk bake and freeze in individual servings but have run out so its time to load up again. 5. I have an essential oil blend that I make and put on my face 1-2 times a day. I then use a moisturizer and sometimes sunscreen (an essential oil one from Young Living). I have Drunken Elephant right now and like it. I just ordered Dr. Brandt's No Baggage eye cream and can't wait to try it out.

Is there something you are looking forward to? YES! Tacos, guacamole, chips & salsa...can you even imagine spending 8 months in a country that has no Mexican restaurants?!? We are looking forward to just about everything about our summer back "home" (my mom's home, we have renters in our home). Just 1 month and a couple days!!! Also going on an overnight date...to Cleveland (very romantic, right?!) to see Dear Evan Hansen. Super excited about that!
Do you have a garden? No. We had a container garden 8-9 years ago when we lived in England and we'd like to do some raised beds in our yard when we move back to our "forever home". How early do you wake each day? On weekdays, I get up between 5:10 and 5:40. On weekends, maybe between 7:30 and 9! What was the last thing you baked or do you ever? I think most recently I baked oatmeal coconut chocolate chip cookies. A favorite in our house. Do you have a skin care regime? I don't. When I remember, I use moisturizer or something. I should really make it a part of my routine.

Do you have a garden? I have flower pots and beds How early do you wake each day? 6 am What was the last thing you baked or do you ever? a cake, I do bake quite a bit Do you have a skin care regime? Yes, but after many years, I found my skin does best when I keep it simple. |

Is there something you are looking forward to?
My sister & I are taking my daughter to see "Aladdin" tomorrow. We are much more excited about this than she is! Do you have a garden? I already have 2 kids I have to keep alive. I don't need the pressure of plants and vegetables, too, thanks. How early do you wake each day? Whenever the first person to stomp by to go to the bathroom wakes up. #notamorningperson What was the last thing you baked or do you ever? I generally don't. DH is gluten-free which makes baking really hard and expensive. My mom & sister love to bake and make all of the desserts at our family functions so I don't usually bother. I cook dinner 5-6 nights a week year-round but I probably only bake 3-4 times in a whole year. Do you have a skin care regime? Nope. I need one, though! This skin ain't gettin' any younger! |

Is there something you are looking forward to?
My oldest son and his fiancee are going to be here next week - looking forward to seeing them - we haven't seen them since they got engaged! Do you have a garden? Heck, no. I get poison ivy literally without touching anything outside. I do plant flowers in pots. That's as good as it gets at my house. How early do you wake each day? 7:30-9 depending on where I need to be. Definitely a night owl here. What was the last thing you baked or do you ever? chocolate chip cookies. I do like to bake, it just doesn't fit in with my diet! Do you have a skin care regime? Washing my face at night. LOL

Do you have a skin care regime? as a matter of fact, I do. I wash my face and put on a moisturizer. Last week I was introduced to this waterproof brow gel, so I also put that on and sleep with it, bahahaha!

Sheri - I didn't hear anything about your sister, but it sounds like some kind of reconnecting or newly mtg? Sounds exciting
Kristin - I have no doubt your mojo will come back (soon I hope)! I've had black bean brownies before and they were yummy. Rebecca - I love mexican food. Being low carb I haven't had tortilla chips in ages but am excited to have found a low carb version and eat them with guac and salsa...yum! Mari - me too, simple skin care these days. I gave up makeup a few yrs ago and don't even miss it now. Just moisturize and sunscreen works for me.

My story has inspired a lot of friends to take tests! Becky and I look very similar (same height, weight, size, hair, facial features, etc), but I don't look like any of my other siblings. Genetics are a funny thing!

1 .Is there something you are looking forward to? Settling into a summer routine so that I can actually accomplish something. I have been off work a week but feel like summer hasn't yet started because things have been so unsettled.
2. Do you have a garden? No. We have tons of room for one, but I really don't know anything about gardening. Our 'garden' area (which was once a really nice vegetable garden when the previous owners lived here is currently sitting under about 9" of water. We have decided that we will use that area for gardening but build raised beds instead of planting in the ground. It is the best area as it is adjacent the orchard and fenced off from the goats and horse. 3. How early do you wake each day? School year, 6:15. During the summer I usually wake around 8:00, though I don't set alarms. 4. What was the last thing you baked or do you ever? The last thing I baked was a casserole. I rarely bake sweets. My daughter has taken over doing that. I hate cooking and baking with a passion! 5. Do you have a skin care regime? I use sunscreen. I exfoliate every few days and I use a moisturizer and yarrow pom oil. I wish I could find something to get rid of my rosacea. I need to see a dermatologist.

I've talked to a lot of people who have no interest or are worried something will upset them, so they decide it's not for them (totally reasonable). My colleague recently found out her parents used a sperm donor to conceive her (they did half and half). She's now met her biological father (he's an orthodontist that lives about a mile from her), the kids he had with his wife (now divorced) and a few other half siblings that were also the product of his sperm donations. Her two older siblings always joked she was adopted because she didn't look much like them, now they all know why.

Is there something you are looking forward to? Vacation in August - 10 days at the lake to just unwind and relax on the water.
Do you have a garden? Yes - flower gardens and a vegetable garden. How early do you wake each day? Either 4:30 am or 5:30 am, depending on if I have to work at 6 or 7. What was the last thing you baked or do you ever? Love to bake - made cranberry orange muffins on Sunday for breakfasts this week. Do you have a skin care regime? Yes - wash with Dove soap every morning and moisturize with a blend of essential oils. |

Is there something you are looking forward to?
Well, I should have answered this on Friday because I could have said I was looking forward to our youngest son's graduation (which was Saturday). Now, I don't have anything (LOL! Sad, right? ) Do you have a garden? I haven't had a garden in years. I loved gardening, but life took over, and I haven't done it in forever. How early do you wake each day? Now that DH is working again, during the week, I wake up at about 8:15 to make breakfast for him. I don't set an alarm on the weekend. What was the last thing you baked or do you ever? I haven't made "baked goods" in a long time. The last thing I baked was a casserole. Do you have a skin care regime? I have very oily skin, and never found anything that worked well (zits at 50 are ridiculous!). Then I found Norwex... I love their body cloths and use them every night and morning (no soap or anything else needed). I've only broken out when I don't use them. I should put sunscreen on when I'm out, but always forget. |

I wouldn't be afraid of what I'd find, but I'm not sure I care enough. My bio dad (I call him "the donor") might have kids out there, but I don't feel any connection to him, so I don't know that I'd feel any connection to them. |

Is there something you are looking forward to?
Hmm... summer school... I love homeschooling in the summer because it's totally kid driven... this summer Jake wants to learn more about early explorers, classical music composers, do lots of science, and learn greek. I've added a fun around the world geography unit study that I've been wanting to do for four years. Come fall, Jake's school schedule will be very challenge. Do you have a garden? No... I just have to look at a plant and it will die... I send Jake over to my mom's to garden. How early do you wake each day? My husband leaves for work around 6 during the week and 4:30 when he does radio - he always wakes me to say goodbye. I do get up, if I fall back asleep I'm really tired for the rest of the day. What was the last thing you baked or do you ever? My last name might be Kuchenbecker (german for cake baker), but I really, really hate to bake. I made meatballs tonight for dinner that baked in the oven, does that count? haha Do you have a skin care regime? No... *gasp* I know, bad...
