Taste of Summer
Do you ever have a recipe stuck in your head?
Something you've seen somewhere, or thought up, and you just know you wont get it out of your head until you try it.
That happened to me recently with this recipe from Canadian Mommy Blog, Mon Petit Amour
Last night I was getting everything ready to make a balsamic steak salad, when it occurred to me that I did not want to eat it, like at all.
This seems to be a very common theme in this pregnancy.
What I really wanted was the fish tacos that i read about a few weeks ago. So I packed the kids up and headed to the grocery store.
I'm not a fan of basa, so I subbed in tilapia instead, ( I think halibut would be amazing as well ) and let me tell you, these were the most amazingly satisfyingly delicious tacos I have ever had. Even the girls ate them, and considering the fact that they contain neither cheese nor cheese sauce that as close to a miracle as I can ever hope to get!
They tasted fresh, and are a perfect summer meal. I will definitely be making these again soon.
Shes growing up

A few days ago, i took my baby to her kindergarten information night.
I still don't understand how she's old enough for this!
I have wavered back and forth between signing her up or not. Being a December baby, she is going to be the youngest in the class, and I really didn't know if shes ready. Three years old seems so young to be gone all day. Ive recently had to accept though that if I keep her home, it would be for me, not for her. Shes a little social butterfly, and I know shell love being in class with all the other kids. Whether I'm ready to let her go or not, I think the best thing for her, is to go.
So we went to the initiation night, and I expected her to be excited, nervous, and shy. She was none of those things, she loved it. She jumped right into every activity, she showed off her counting, she used the giant computer, she asked questions, she loved every minute of it.
My little girl is so ready for school.
I don't think Ill ever be ready to let her go, and her taking this first step towards being her own person is really hard, a lot harder than i thought it would be, but seeing how she blossomed in that classroom, and hearing her talk about how shes so excited to start school, is making it a little easier. It's also bringing back memories for me. I loved school, and I hope she does too. At least it looks like were off to a good start.
