Have You Ever Seen A Snowman Tomato? I Have
Filed under: Food and Drink, Kindergartners, The Cool in Everyday Life
“Mom! We gotta get a picture of this!”
It’s a tomato… but it’s way more than that,
according to my son, it’s a ‘snowman tomato’.
It’s 2 tomatoes grown together… I think…
Very Cool! The coolness of this tomato did not stop my son from
immediately eating it after this picture was taken, however…
Sorry Mr. Tomato, a 6-year-old’s loyalty is brief and fleeting
Who Knew Deviled Eggs Were This Easy?
The Short Answer to that question is…
probably everyone but me.
BUT, for everyone else out there who has never attempted to make deviled eggs,
because, like me, you thought they were
‘so complicated’ and
‘kinda gourmet’,
But really you think,
‘Why make them when you can buy them already made in the grocery store, and even-in-a-cute ‘deviled egg container’? …
Well, I’m here to tell you- Deviled Eggs are incredibly EASY to make,
Incredibly QUICK to make,
And I’m sure you have all the ingredients in your pantry already…
READY? Here we go-
Boil eggs.
Cut them in half.
Remove the yolks,
and mix them with
Mayo,
mustard,
and a touch of vinegar…
Yeah, that’s it…
Add a touch of paprika on top for a nice little spice.
And Yeah, that’s it.
I’m feeling like,
‘How have I been alive for this long and never knew this? How can I have been a mother for this long and never attempted this before? Who knows how many ‘hard’ things out there… are really pretty easy?! I bet you poached eggs aren’t that hard either!’
So now you know,
and you’re the Cool Mom… with deviled eggs for snacks!

Something to think about…
Visit The ‘Other’ Cherry Blossoms Around DC!
Don’t want to fight the crowds down at the Tidal Basin?…
It’s really not that bad- as I wrote last year (parking is easy- at least during the week).
But lugging kids around can be cumbersome… so –
There is ANOTHER, GREAT ALTERNATIVE!
Go see GORGEOUS CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM in Kenwood!
The entire neighborhood is covered and lined with Cherry Blossoms… everywhere!
They even create a canopy of blossoms over the street- it’s super cool,
and quite lovely (I love the word ‘lovely’… How was your day? ‘Lovely, Thanks.’)
Get on Little Falls Parkway, and Turn into Kenwood at Dorset Ave. There is a ‘Kenwood’ Sign.
You can even walk the Capital Cresent Trail- it goes right through Kenwood!
It’s a nice little field trip-
Enjoy!
Team WhyMommy Virtual Science Fair- Our Experiment was Cool… and Messy
Filed under: Around DC, dc metro moms, Kindergartners, Mom Blogs
Today I am joining a lot of Mommy Bloggers out there to support Susan, aka WhyMommy;
She is a great mom, cool blogger… AN ASTROPHYSICIST (How cool is that?!) and a cancer fighter and survivor.
Today she is undergoing surgery… again.
To Honor Susan and her love and attention to Science, we did a Science Experiment!
Now, I am NOT an astrophysicist, and neither is my son, although who knows, he may be some day-
so we took a page from an experiment we saw on WETA KIDS. And that’s a lesson in itself- you don’t have to make-up your own science experiment, if your child is excited to try an experiment they’ve seen… go do it!
My son wanted to make canals of water, change their direction and flow, and see how gravity affects the water canals.
We started out by digging the canals with a couple of different ways the water could go-
Then we blocked one of the canals-
But we soon found out that water can go around a blockage, so we did it again,
This Time, we were successful!
And we watched our ball continue down the canal that we wanted!
But that wasn’t it for us- we decided, since we had dug up part of a flower bed in our back yard,
and already ‘watered’ it-
that we would plant flower seeds all over !!!!!
Because We Are ALL ABOUT New Life, Living, and Planting Seeds of Hope
Here at BananaBlueberry!
And That’s How We Roll!
These Flowers Seeds are FOR YOU SUSAN!
MUCH LOVE AND MANY PRAYERS TO YOU TODAY SUSAN, AND EVERY DAY!
