I just updated my website. Jelly Mom is retired but the books are still available, a new one is coming out in November and I am still writing...though not necessarily Jelly Mom-type stuff.
Tried sweet potato muffins last week. Bleah. Need to work on that recipe.
Also took in another kitty this week on Friday. A little calico miss. I'm bottle feeding her every three hours and she's doing well. Anybody want a cat???? My husband is not touching her so he doesn't get attached. I am adamant that this is a FOSTER kitty. So as soon as she's ready for a home, out she goes. Hey, Mom! Want another cat???
I am going to learn how to upload photos onto the computer. Time to get with it. Wouldn't it be nice to see pics of the growing kitlets and kidlets?
Stay tuned this week on the book review blog. I just got a new box of books to review and they look real good.
Time to sign off. It's late and I have one more bottle session with the little princess before she's tucked in for the night.
Good night!

Children's book reviews.
Yes, you can link to my book review blog or get the rss feed. This project seems to be growing! I post new reviews frequently as my kids and I read and enjoy all the greats books out there.
You'll find all subjects for ages 0-12, fiction and non. One of the latest reads is The Prairie Girl's Guide To Life. It's been out for a few years, but it's great for Laura Ingalls' fans.

Where's the Jelly Mom?
Here I am! Life is settling down and getting much smoother now that I have retired from several things like the column. Becca is doing well today. Yesterday she had one of her rare euphoric moments where she was smiling and laughing and cooing and responding. We called Dad at work and left him a message. :)
I have been eating vegan meals for my health and have been trying new recipes. I'm going to collect family favorites and make myself a little book. There are some really good recipes out there. Today we tried an orange muffin recipe. I need to tinker with it but it looks like it will be a keeper. Earlier this week I made bran muffins. I already love bran muffins and this recipe came out really well, very moist. No one else cared for them, but who cares!
The kids are home on summer break. Aiden and I have been collecting things for the new school year when he officially becomes a first grader. We are homeschooling this year. I was a little apprehensive, but since I cut out the extras and life has slowed down, I think I can do this and care for Becca. The thing that has replaced the neurotic writing and marketing of Jelly Mom is my quest for vegan recipes, cooking, baking, playing World of Warcraft with my dear husband and plotting out a novel. See? I'm still writing.
Today Aiden and I opened a big box of mail that has been collecting - all for Boo. I wish I could personally thank all the people that have sent happy mail to her and the rest of the kids, but it isn't always possible to do that. If any of you happened to have found my blog - THANK YOU! We absolutely could not get on so well without your support. It makes all the difference and we don't feel at all alone in this. God bless you ABUNDANTLY. All this happy mail will end up pinned to Boo's walls. She loves it. :)
Next weekend I am taking the rest of the kids to a Discovery Kingdom. It's our big summer treat and I think we will have a lot of fun. I especially want to show the boys all the animals.
Speaking of animals, I will post pics of the kittens. They are growing so fast!
God bless,
Lisa
