Super Mom Sunday

Just another Super Sunday in the life of a Super Mom.  All I can say is I'm exhausted and going to bed as soon as this post gets done.  Today is my Mom's (Mimi) birthday so Max was incredibly excited to do birthday things like make a cake (and of course gluten free cupcakes for me), blow up balloons, finger paint a birthday card, etc.  I figure its the least that we can do for a woman who birthed me and gives Max and I so much of her time and attention.  So that's how we spend most of our morning after waking up at 9:15 which is very late for us.

Only food coloring we had left in the house (didn't feel like going to the store)

And since Sunday is the normal cleaning/laundry day (the house looked embarrassing beforehand) that's how I spent most of the afternoon.  And made a nice little spread of heavy hors d'oeuvres that consisted of Bang Bang Shrimp, Lettuce wraps with a gluten free peanut sauce from another recipe, and steak kabobs on the grill, all before 6:00.

And now I can finally reveal all the little projects I have been working on the past week or so.  Mimi got for her birthday a framed monogrammed with buttons fabric canvas, matching wreath, and painted vase with vinyl monogram and tied with coordinating fabric and ribbon.

I also covered 2 cookie sheets with fabric for me to hang on the wall for magnet boards.  One of them which is hanging inside my pantry door will be used as a hanging spice rack using magnetized old baby food containers with lids spray painted with chalk board paint so I can write on them what each one contains.  The other hanging in my bathroom will be to magnetize my make up and stick to it but although I haven't gotten to the gluing magnets to objects yet.  Here are the covered cookie sheets.

Will definitely try to remember to update pictures when I'm done with the boards as I am very excited about extra organization.  Today has definitely been a full day.  Was so excited when Mimi and Cici did arrive at my house so I could at least shower today.  I have come to the conclusion, I realize now why I sleep so good at night and that is because I go as hard as my almost 3 year old all day long then night time I crash and don't move until the day starts the next day.  There is no rest in the life of a super mom.
