Life's been busy these days... but busy with good stuff. That's what happens when the sun finally decides to come out-- you find yourself hosting pool parties, shopping for popsicles, coordinating BBQ's, cleaning the deck, washing mountains of towels and bathing suits, heading to the lake, applying endless amounts of sunscreen, packing picnic lunches, and bathing exceptionally dirty children before bedtime... so much good stuff.
And... we've also be slowly making progress in the kitchen. It may not look like much to you... but the addition of TEN drawers and a lazy susan is pretty exciting to me. My un-renovated kitchen had a measly 3 drawers-- 1 small drawer and 2 teeny tiny ones-- I now have 10 and am having trouble figuring out what's going to go in them! And might I add-- my husband decided to give me the expensive soft close drawer glides-- and glide like a dream they do...
Just found out today that the countertops/sink are being installed on Saturday! I can hardly wait to have new countertops in my kitchen-- I've been dreaming of them for so long now...
Oh, and I bought another 10 pounds of fresh strawberries and have been freezing a ton and making batch after batch of strawberry fruit leather. I inherited my mom's food dehydrator and have introduced my kids to a delicious treat from my childhood-- home made fruit leather. They LOVE it. The first batch was ready just in time for breakfast and we may have consumed a whole lot of it first thing this morning-- just can't stop eating it...
The next batch is in the dehydrator right now and smells as good as it tastes!

It's so fun to visit your blog, see that your kitchen is coming along... I can imagine your excitement for the drawers and soon-to-come counter tops. Always special to see your kiddos, here and on your last blog - so sweet! Yum for the fruit leather - I've only made it on cookie sheets up on the roof in Piura... it sort of worked :)
Yum! Sure looks delicious!
Mmmm... soft glide drawers... nothing better.
And that fruit leather sounds awfully tantalizing. :) Keep enjoying that BC sun... I hear you guys are well-deserving of it after a VERY dreary spring/early summer.
