Hannah. She’s pretty. And she’s having a much easier time with her hair, now that it’s about 9 inches shorter.

We’re starting seeds in our basement this year! I’m so excited! Here’s some spinach and romaine. (Michael, on hearing that I was getting grow lights, told me he’d make me a Green Cross sign. I looked about for a link for those of you who don’t live in our area and might not know what that stands for, but decided against a hyperlink to Cannabis Delivery here on our family blog…) Michael was instrumental in getting the setup up and going, and he kindly plugs the lights in when he goes down to do his workouts in the mornings.
Borage. {real}: The celery next door has yet to crack the surface. We’ll see.
Tomatoes and peppers.

Naomi is a little heat-seeking device, and has figured out that the registers are the warmest place in the house.
Then she figured out that if she put up one of our white boards, she could funnel all the heat to her in the corner.
Tess, wearing Hannah’s tankini. It’s 47 degrees outside, and the bottoms of this suit absolutely do not stay up when she does anything besides sit. But she loves a good bathing suit! Sim and Tess are playing together and singing things like the Imperial March from Star Wars.

I’m now working on some gluten-free baked goods at home. I had a crazy flop the other day with a crumble. The topping wasn’t the problem, though – I had also experimented with the filling, and that didn’t work out – so there’s hope for that topping. These scones were…fine. They look like they’re made of sand from the sand box, because I’m using a whole grain flour mix. I have a couple of cookbooks and websites that I’m experimenting with, and from what I’ve read, this will take time and practice. That means patience on my part. But if you have any suggestions for great gluten-free baked goods, I’d love to hear them!

I use Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day. There are Gluten-Free recipes in the book. Also, they have come out with another one: Healthy Bread in 5 minutes a day, which is supposed to have lots of good Gluten-Free recipes. The nice thing about these books is that you can mix up a big batch & store it in the fridge, and only bake what you need as you go. And I'd imagine with all the flours you need for gluten-free, doing it once for four loaves is better than mixing it fresh each time?
Marcy, thanks so much for the idea! I'll look into it. You're so right that mixing up a big batch is easier with all the different bags of flour.
