We went to the mall during the Memorial Day weekend and walked around.  There was nothing that inspired me to take home except the book we got for Maksim from Barnes & Noble, Start Fresh by Tyler Florence - by far the best baby food recipe book I found in the market.  It has a lot of healthy recipes for weaning and beyond, a food schedule by age, lots of pictures, and it's not boring.  An absolute winner in its genre.  I can't wait to try the recipes - to cook baby food for the first time.  So exciting.  I'll post the recipes here when I start making them.  Stay tuned for that.

I've also been working on our front garden.  It has potential and likewise problem areas.  There are some locations in the yard that plants just don't thrive.  I also have bird problems.  They like to get into the pots, dig with their little bird feet, and uproot the annual flowers.  It drives me bananas!  Have to do more research on that.  Our next project is the back yard.  I can't stand that it's starting to look like a third world country with squatters being occupied by vagabonds.  That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I can't wait until we turn it into an oasis.  There's also a built in swing in the corner that I want to paint red.  Hopefully I can work on it one of these weekends when Maksim stays with his grandparents.
