today's lunch

December 28, 2010/ Amy: The Modern Chemist

in-n-out is a true california treat. i had mine with grilled onions. yum!

today was filled with activities such as a peaceful morning walk through my grandpa's old olive grove and a trip to a local 9,000-cow dairy farm. tomorrow we're driving up into the mountains, and then we're traveling home on wednesday. until the future!

I'm Amy, the Modern Chemist, and here's my hypothesis: Each one of us wants a beautiful, cheerful home that suits the way we live and doesn't cost a fortune. With a little hard work and creativity (and perhaps some help from me!) that home can be the one you are in today.

Are you ready to fall in love with where you live? Because class is about to begin. Put on your white coat, grab your safety goggles, and roll up your sleeves. Together, let's observe, measure, experiment, rearrange, paint, power tool, and create until we prove this hypothesis is true.

Welcome to Modern Chemistry at Home.

Did you know the ESV Bible app includes an option to listen to it read out loud? I am thankful for it, because these days my morning Bible reading usually includes a little companion who is on the move. 👶🏼 #gettingintoeverything It is a sweet thing to be able to hear the Word read to me as I play with my little guy in the early morning hours or feed him his solids at the table. And this way, he gets to hear it too! I moved my Annabelle hydrangeas to a new spot last summer and they are finally happy—lots of new growth! 🙌🏻 There are way more blooms (which is good because the girls love to pick 'em) but I have noticed the blooms are quite a bit smaller than last year. Are the blooms small because I moved the plant? Any gardeners out there who can shed some light? Four going on fourteen. #staylittleplease #candidchildhood #momswithcameras Cymbals for him, bracelets for her. #winwin #untilthegrabbingstarts A few weeks ago, I took my three year old to Bachman's to pick out some flowers for her playhouse. She very politely asked for a succulent instead. 😂 We picked out one for her and one for big sis. They are such cute little plants, which have been lovingly cared for and named "Sux" (short for succulent, obv 😜) and "Judah" by the girls. #kidsthesedays #howyouhome There's a change in the wind. I can feel my design taste shifting. I've been editing my home—taking away decor items from each room, happy with a little less, including less color. Wondering if it's time to swap out these red lamps for something a little quieter? 🤔 (They were upcycled with spray paint and new shades + ribbon—link in bio if you're curious.) But for now, this gallery wall—although busy!—is sitting tight. That golden hour. ☀️ The girls helped me make pear sauce this morning because those bad boys just never got ripe. 🍐 And costumes. Always costumes. Let's hope that fire hat isn't foreshadowing. 😬🔥 Happy Monday! #childhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #cookingwithkids People ask about Ford's name—how did we choose it? Is it a family name? Nope. It was literally the last name standing when we went through out list. But we do love it. And then there's the added benefit of being able to buy things with his name already on them. 😉 The hat was a gift from my parents. ❤️ Let the sun shine in! 🌞 Apparently cleaning your windows really does make a difference? 😝 But so does taking down curtains. I realized I hadn't pulled shut the kitchen curtains in ages so I took them down and kaboom! Now it's even brighter in here—and simpler. My husband even noticed. 😊 I kind of wish all windows could be bare, but you know, privacy and such. What do you think? Do you put window treatments on all your windows or leave them bare when you can? #exersaucerforthewin #lightandbright #whitekitchen
