- Good news, I got my cast off yesterday. Now, I just have to be in a sling for 3 months. My arm is bruised pretty bad and still swollen, but it’s progress.
- I took the boys fishing and Maxwell caught a nice sized fish. The only problem, the mosquitos love Maxwell. Any recommendations for bug sprays?
- New swim trunks for the boys.
- Tomorrow is the last day of school for us. Let the summer fun begin.

Hi Maria! Do you have any advice about making the white chicken enchiladas ahead? I know you say you can freeze them but you can put everything on ahead, thaw, and bake?
Thanks! I make one of your recipes probably every week!
Lovely Peonies! And we had cherries in a salad last week- Now I can’t wait to try your cherry salad recipe, Maria!
Try Doterra Terra Shield for the bug spray. It works very well, and it smells great. A tad spendy, but worth every cent. You can find it on Amazon.
As far as bug spray we’ve been using 1Tbsp Vanilla to 1 C of water in a spray bottle. Sounds crazy but it really does work and you get to smell like a cupcake instead of deet. Hope that helps!
