water baby
earlier this year, we enrolled the pandi in swim lessons. she took to the water like a fish (she's just like her daddy!) and graduated to the intermediate class just before justin went to alaska. he wanted to resume her lessons when he returned but was a little concerned that she might not be ready to advance since there was a break in her lessons. there was no need for that concern. it's like she never stopped! and you know your child is comfortable in the water when they are still sassy as ever. there's no room for fear with all that sass...

| "i see a frog!" |
 |
| "i need to get that frog." |
 |
| alllmost there... |
 |
| got it! |
 |
| humpty dumpty sat on a wall... |
they do a drill where they kick, go under, grab the wall, knock over the turtle, kick off the wall, and end in a back float. she loves it!
and then there's a drill where they float on their backs, run across a lily pad and jump into daddy's (or mommy's) arms. the first time she did really well. the second time, she decided to be a sassy frog.
she's already started boogie boarding in the ocean with daddy. i predict a little surfing miss in the near future!

beautiful briny sea salt
have you ever been walking through a store and been offered a sample of something? maybe it was a perfume spritz or bite of chicken. and how often has one of those samples made you stop in your tracks and say "i'm going to buy that now!"? that kind of reaction is rare for me but i actually experienced it at the craft fair this past weekend.
there was a table full of flavored salts. of course the mushroom flavor caught my attention. it was good but i wasn't necessarily ready to buy any. then she suggested i taste the truffle salt. dear lord... my tongue did a happy dance the moment it touched those magical little granules! i couldn't believe how fantastic it tasted. after that i had to try another flavor i wouldn't have normally thought about. the friends forever is a honey salt that can be sprinkled on foods or when cooked with, releases a stronger honey flavor.
the ingredients are simple. fleur de sel and italian black truffle. pure ocean salt and granulated honey. and i love the suggestions for use. add the truffle salt to veggies, eggs, and olive oil. add the friends forever to popcorn, ice cream, fancy drinks, and carrots. i love a good flavored salt but never tasted any quite like these. i highly recommend them. and this is not a paid advertisement or endorsement. i just thought i'd share something i really liked. check them out on facebook.
