{pretty, happy, funny, real}

~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~

Every Thursday, here at Like Mother, Like Daughter!

Wichita-area readers! Auntie Leila is speaking tonight at Newman University. Come say hi!

{pretty}

This is my view from the kitchen; I keep the lights off as long as I can to enjoy the last rays of sunlight heading over the trees.

After-dinner chats with my baby girl.

My big boy taking the lead on dessert for his visiting grandparents.

I convinced them they don’t always need boots and raincoats to play in the puddles.

{funny}

My kids love (love) mopping.

I don’t know what I did to deserve this, but I am not complaining. (Except perhaps about how seldom my floors are actually clean, despite their enthusiasm…)

{real}

And this glamorous shot is the inside of my dryer after I removed the very large load of whites (of course), which included several favorite articles of clothing (naturally), more than one brand new baby outfit (sigh)… and a busted black pen.

My long-suffering husband scrubbed the dryer with rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover (result: it’s still stained, but nothing more seems to be coming off. We’ve cautiously resumed our regularly scheduled drying schedule), and I am still hoping to salvage a few key items that got hit particularly badly.

So, feel free to hit me with your best ink stain-removing advice. (Sukie had this happen painfully recently, and says they had the most luck with rubbing alcohol: put an old towel underneath the stained clothing, rub, and pray.)

I and my spotted clothing are all ears!
