Five Finds Friday (a video, a broken dryer, and – of course – an earring)
It’s really only been one week since I last typed one of these?
You’ve got to be kidding.
funny
These guys are still funny.
fashionable
Have I mentioned these before?
It’s totally possible.
I love these ear cuffs from Noonday.
My ear is pierced twice in only one ear. (Once upon a time in high school or college Emma and I both wanted to get only one ear pierced, so we split the cost and each had one ear lobe pierced. That’s the entire story.)
Anyway, I should ask Emma if she wants to split the cost of this earring, since I sort of only want one so I can wear it in the second piercing.
flavorful
What if I were to go completely insane and try to consume less sugar?
What desserts would I then enjoy?
I’d love your recipe suggestions.

This quote.
When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she had always been.
But she had wings.

A week or more ago Piper told me that our dryer handle had broken off in her hand.
Which was unfortunate because how is one supposed to open a dryer without a handle?
As life would have it, I forgot about the dryer handle and what Piper had told me.
I never mentioned the dryer handle situation to anyone. Because I had forgotten – remember?
Days passed. No laundry was being done. (That happens sometimes.)
And Bergen causally said to me one afternoon, “I fixed the dryer handle Mom.”
Then I remembered that it was broken.
I headed to the laundry room to inspect his repairs.
A zip tie cleverly attached.
I still can’t decide which makes me happier – the dryer being repaired, his ingenuity or the fact that I never even asked him and he took his own initiative to accomplish a task that genuinely helped our family.

It is not really dessert, but…..OH MY…..you need to try these nut butters especially if you are cutting back on sugar!! I ordered some. I have only tried the blueberry cinnamon bun cashew butter, but….OH MY!!!! AND I have only one piercing in my left ear, but two in my right. 🙂

I am going sugar free for a bit. I’m planning on trying this receipe soon:
two smashed bananas, cocoa powder, oats
I’ll see if its terrible. Or maybe I’ll be so delerious from my sugar withdrawals that it will taste heavenly.

You let me know.
I tried one this week with bananas and cocoa powder. No oats. It tasted like … bananas. I don’t even really care for bananas.
So. There’s that.
