Garlic, Hair, and Superheroes: A Day in the Life of Mama Rantz

I was feeling domestic today.

I'm not gifted in the kitchen- not at all.  I don't know much about dicing or spicing or grilling or roasting.  Sadly, what I do best in the kitchen is to clean up after everyone else.

But today I was feeling frisky.  I tied my apron strings and took to the kitchen, put a soup in the crock pot, roasted garlic, and baked chocolate chip cookies.  And I made bacon to use as a garnish on the soup- I'd never made bacon before!

Devon just said that this picture of me is "just ehhh".  But I am using it anyway.

Someday, when I get to heaven, I hope that I get to eat roasted garlic with every meal.  Yum, yum, yum, lick-my-fingers yum!  I ate the entire clove by myself this afternoon, and my breath could now be my Halloween costume.  Scary!

The recipes that I find on Pinterest have proven to be delicious.  I bring my laptop into the kitchen and I read the recipe right off the Internet, and it makes me realize that the Internet is replacing the need for cookbooks, which is a fact that probably translates as curse words to a cookbook aficionado like my mom. :)

Now, lets talk about my hair.  There is a current hair fad called "ombre".  Ombre hair has darker roots that fade into lighter ends.

I imagine that somewhere in the world, the hair people had a meeting and said, "In this poor economy, let's be nice to the housewives with blond highlights-  let's decide that dark roots be in style for a while."  I just have to thank those people, because as my budget would have it, my roots have never been worse, but I can kind of pull it off like it is intentional, you know, as if I am somewhat hip to the current hair trends.

You know who else needs some hair TLC?  Bubs.  His hair is so wacky and overgrown, but he says, "Only Molly cuts my hair!"  So, Aunt Molly, please help our little man.

Maybe Max should have been Eddie Munster for Halloween...

The Halloween festivities have begun.  Lucy got to wear her costume to ballet class this week.

She is a Barbie Superhero, and she LOVES her costume.

Stroller Strides had an evening workout last night, and husbands and costumes were welcomed.  So I got to work out with Devon, Spiderman, and Barbie Superhero.

The adventures of Barbie Superhero and Spiderman are just beginning, so stay tuned!  What costumes are you and your family wearing for Halloween?

Okay, my garlic breath and I are clicking "publish".  Goodnight!
