Music

I love music!
Really who doesn't?

I really don't hate any of it; country, classical, metal, etc
I love how it makes me feel! It helps me de stress and relax. I tend to listen to music that relates to the type of mood I'm in but it always makes me feel good.

I also love to come home a play the piano (even if i do it badly). It's just another way to relax a keep my mind occupied.

I haven't done it in awhile but I love to sing! With being in an apartment with thin walls it's hard to just burst out into song, but as soon as we move I'll be singing all day!

I love that David is also musical. He may not like everything I do but he sings, and he does it well (and I'm not just saying that)

I'm already teaching our son how much music is important and how much it will be apart of his life. I'm not to worried about weather or not he will be able to sing or not because we both do and his extended family sings all the time. I hope he will always let music be apart of his life and enjoy everything about it.

very berry syrup


We LOVE this recipe and it makes really really good leftovers! It also stores really well so you don't have to worry about it going bad. We like it when its warm and it cold.

1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbl cornstarch
1 cup water
4 cups berries ( raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)

In a medium sauce pan combine sugar and cornstarch. Mix in water. Slowly add in berries. boil for 2 minutes, remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

I like to use a mixed berry bag of all the berries, but you can use just raspberries or blackberries or any combination you want. (basically just make sure you have 4 cups!)
Enjoy!
