<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">I'm in love with the story behind it!! You can read more about it <a href="http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/28/new-dr-seuss-book-what-pet-should-i-get"><span style="color: cyan;">{here}</span></a>, but in a nutshell...Audrey Geisel, Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss)'s widow, found in her attic a box of papers she'd stashed away after his death. In it was this and several other manuscripts he had finished and illustrated!</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">There's nothing like a Dr. Seuss book in my opinion, especially for those beginner readers! I picked up a copy for Hudson's first grade homeroom teacher, along with a jar of my homemade <a href="http://www.littlepumpkingrace.com/2015/08/vanilla-sugar-hand-scrub-back-to-school_3.html"><span style="color: cyan;">{vanilla sugar hand scrub}</span></a> and a cute beehive cookie cutter because they are the <span style="color: orange;">"Honeybees"</span>.</span></strong><br />

So as soon as we got home, I started experimenting with different recipes and ingredients and finally came up with a winner!

<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Even better, it's made with all wholesome ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry!! So what are you waiting for??! Put on a cute apron and let's get started!
</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">
<u><span style="color: #674ea7;">Vanilla Sugar Hand Scrub</span></u>
</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">{fills 3 half-pint (8 oz.) mason jars with a little to spare!}</span> </span></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><span style="color: #674ea7;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">8 tablespoons coconut oil
</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">2 teaspoons vanilla extract
</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">2 teaspoons lemon juice
</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><span style="color: #674ea7;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">
1. Mix all ingredients together until smooth and</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">coconut oil has dissolved completely.
</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">2. Resist the urge to taste it because it smells <em>so</em></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">good!
</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">3. Store in an airtight container.</span>
</span></strong></div>
<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">
Now go treat yourself for all your hard work <span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: small;">{<em>Shhhh...no one has to know how easy it really was!</em>}</span> by using the little extra on yourself! I like to scoop out a little dollop, scrub for 1 minute, rinse with water and pat dry. Your hands will smell <em>soooo</em> good and feel <em>soooo</em> soft!

<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">And if you're feeling fancy, spray paint the metal rings like I did and use a little fabric scrap or pretty paper to cover the circle lid. Add a little ribbon or baker's twine, a cute tag, and if you have it, a little wooden spoon for scooping and voila! You just made a perfect little gift for teachers, neighbors, girlfriends, hostesses or whoever needs a little extra I'm-thinking-of-you.

Bush Library, Dallas Aquarium, and of course, SHOPPING!<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">When we got back from our little adventure, Noonie asked me how many years we had been doing our <a href="http://www.littlepumpkingrace.com/search/label/Mother-Daughter-Grands%20Trip"><span style="color: cyan;">Mother-Daughter {now Grands too!} trip</span></a>, and we crunched the numbers and realized this was our <span style="color: magenta;">25th year</span>!! </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Yes, we started doing these when we moved to the U.S. from Puerto Rico. I was 12 years old!! Noonie was super busy with her medical practice and these weeks were such a fun way for us to reconnect without any distractions. We've done big trips and little trips, close destinations and far away adventures, but the most important fact has never changed...these weeks are all about being together and having fun.

<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Once upon a time two little girls met in kindergarten and they became best friends. As their friendship grew, so did their nicknames for each other until one day Savannah became <span style="color: #8e7cc3;">"Shimmer"</span> and Grace became <span style="color: #8e7cc3;">"Glimmer"</span>. The two young maidens had birthdays just a month apart and so their moms thought <em>Hmmm</em>...why not?! And thus the <span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Shimmer & Glimmer County Fair</span> was born and they lived happily ever after.

And then there was the Mother's Day right after <a href="http://www.littlepumpkingrace.com/2011/10/little-ladyand-remembering.html"><span style="color: cyan;">we lost our tiny baby-to-be</span></a> that was pretty brutal. My heart hurts for those feeling pain this Mother's Day and I pray that God will bring you comfort like only He can. <em> Never give up!</em></span>

Today {and really, everyday!} I'm thankful for these two littles that call me mama and for the adventures they bring to my life. They are my greatest blessings and I can't thank God enough for them.

<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">My mom was both mom and dad to me growing up. She didn't have the support of a husband to help in childrearing, but she never let that affect me in any way. She gave 200%. Every day. Without ever speaking a negative word about my father. Ever. Takes a special kind of person to do that! </span></strong><br />

<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Pictures are not really allowed during Mass and I understand why, but that is such a tough thing when it's a special milestone like First Communion! Our Assistant Director of Religious Education did take some of all the children and I can't wait to see them! Hopefully she has a good one of Grace receiving Communion for the very first time. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Grace, along with three other children, was selected to bring up the Communion gifts - such a special honor - I tried to take a very quick, unobtrusive snapshot, but she was on the other side so it was hard to see her.

<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">In keeping with my tradition of writing little love notes to Grace and Hudson on vintage cards, I ordered the tiny vintage Communion card on etsy. It was supposed to have been unused, but when it came in (all the way from France!) it had writing on the back...from 1950! What a fun thing to find! She loved it!

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;">And then my thoughts go to my beloved grandparents. Oh how I wish Tata & Abuelito could have been here to see Grace receive the body and blood of Christ! Grace carried Tata's rosary during pictures last weekend. I didn't tell her or give her the rosary until we got there and in retrospect, I probably should have. As soon as I handed it to her and asked her if she wanted to hold it for pictures, she nodded and I saw the tears forming in her eyes. Grace is a very sensitive soul and even though </span><a href="http://www.littlepumpkingrace.com/2012/07/beach-portraitsand-our-next-adventure.html"><span style="color: cyan;">she only met Tata a couple of times</span></a><span style="color: red;">, they shared a special connection.

<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">My sweet, beautiful Grace, </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">I know you are nervous about today and "not messing up with all those eyes looking at me", but the only thing you need to think about is Jesus being present in your heart. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">I've seen the way you love others and it reminds me of how God loves us. I've heard your prayers and it reminds me of what pure and complete trust sound like. You are more than ready to make this step. If you see me crying, just remember what I tell you all the time...they are tears of joy. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Daddy, Hudson and I love you so much. We are proud of who you are and so happy that you are in our family. Keep your eyes locked on the cross and everything else will always fall into place. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Love you more than words can say, </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Mama
</span></b><br />

We spent Easter in NYC, and I have to say, I LOVED that Easter Sunday was just about Jesus and church as it should be...no Easter baskets and no other frills and guess what? </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">The littles didn't ONCE ask about their baskets!!</span><span style="color: red;"> Hooray! On our last day there we told them that perhaps the Easter bunny had left something for them at home or would soon after we returned. So the weekend after Easter the littles had a mini version of our </span><a href="http://www.littlepumpkingrace.com/2013/03/hop-hop-breakfast-2013.html"><span style="color: cyan;">Hop Hop Breakfast</span></a><span style="color: red;"> and it was just right for us this year.

It pays to "pick up little things here and there" because I actually had everything that ended up going in their baskets even though I was worried I would have to make a last minute run to Target. Most everything in their baskets is inexpensive stuff from the dollar section of Target and Walmart. I made the mistake of giving Hudson a Lego that he already had - ha! I can't keep up anymore! That is Lance's area of expertise, not mine, and I should have asked him before sticking it in his basket!! Oh well, he was thrilled at the prospect of being able to exchange it and get several little Mixels (tiny pouch Legos).

The littles, particularly Grace, have been asking for a </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Snackeez cup</span><span style="color: red;"> for like a year and a half! Oh, the power of tv advertisements!! I have held strong and said no (because I think they're junk!) and even kept them from spending their own money when they asked if they could. But alas, mama was weak during a particularly late-night Target run in March and in the buggy went the silly cups. </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">But the smiles. The smiles made it worth it!!

I sure hope you had a beautiful Easter. And yet, I am not oblivious to the fact that holidays are tough for many and my heart's prayer is that you found peace and love in the Only One that truly matters.

I'm playing catch-up as you can tell. Your birthday was 3 days ago on </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: x-large;">March 10th</span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">. I still have a hard time saying </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">"my EIGHT year old"</span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">. That seems so BIG and GROWN-UP! I'm sure in a couple of years, I'll think back and say <i>Eight? She was still a baby!</i> Regardless of how old you are, you will <i>always</i> be my little pumpkin. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">So in honor of your birthday, I'd thought I'd share </span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;">8 things I love about you</span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: x-large;">1. You are full of joy. </span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> There is a certain spark in your eyes that just melts away bad days in one big swoop. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">I love how fully you live.</span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> I love how you sing at the top of your lungs. I love how you get excited about cooking and baking new things. I love how you count down to special days. I love how you pick little flowers and keep ordinary things as "special treasures" in your little purses and backpack pockets.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: x-large;">2. You are so kind.</span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> You have a keen sense of what others are feeling. Ever since you were little, I've seen you go out of your way to help any child who you felt was feeling left out during extracurricular activities or birthday parties or just in every day life. During our Parent-Teacher conferences, your teachers always tell us how you help other children who are having a hard time comprehending something and how you get excited when someone who is having a hard time finally makes a great stride. Just recently a friend brought valentines for your Gateway class and didn't think they had enough to go around so you volunteered not to take one to make sure there were enough for the others to receive one. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">I love how big your heart is.
</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: x-large;">3. You feel things deeply. </span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> You are a sensitive soul. Sometimes this means your feelings get hurt easily. I understand how that goes, because I also feel things deeply. But this is not something to "get over". Instead, this is something that God put in your heart to help you always remain compassionate to others' feelings. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">And you do a great job of that!</span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> Throughout your life, you will be able to use this gift as a gauge to help you navigate sensitive issues. It will help you understand things like, "Once words are said, they can't be taken back." When uttered in haste, they have the power to crush. Sure, you can apologize and say you are sorry, but once words leave your mouth, they have the ability to hurt others deeply. Your words also have the ability to heal, to encourage, to love. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">Always strive to use your words and your voice to uplift, rather than to belittle.

You get so happy. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">You are genuine and you have a beautiful heart, my sweet daughter!

<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: x-large;">5. You are smart and driven.</span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> "Hard-headed" some like to say. But even when I get frustrated with this trait, I'm secretly thanking God for giving you enough confidence to stand your ground and to know that your opinion matters. In life, there will be so many situations that will have you second-guessing your choices. Always take time to pray and reflect and to listen to that voice deep in your heart that tells you which way you should go. Continue to be confident and to use your determination to stand up for what is right. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">You have such a bright future ahead of you!

<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: x-large;">6. You are generous and you give from the heart, without any expectation of return.</span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> Just this Monday, I was talking to you about why I wanted to help a certain family and in the middle of talking to you, you said, "Wait for one moment, mama. I'll be right back." And less than a minute later, you came back to my room with a handful of quarters from your piggy bank. You told me to give it to them. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">And you had the most beautiful smile on your face.</span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> I never asked you to help contribute to their gift, you just felt it in your heart to do so. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Then on Wednesday, I gave you $12 for the book fair. It was enough for 2 books, which was plenty considering you just had a birthday and got lots of fun things!! You ran back in the house and grabbed more of your own quarters. About five dollars worth, I think. I got upset, because I didn't think you needed to spend any more money at the book fair on pens and erasers and what not. But after school, you taught me a very important lesson. You were SO happy. You had spent exactly $11.92 from the $12 I had given you on yourself, and you used ALL of your quarters to help your classmates out...a pen for this one, an eraser for another, a little bit for this one who didn't have enough for their book, you covered tax for another friend. You spent YOUR money on others and you were just BEAMING about having been able to help. That is what giving is all about. Sharing from the heart without any expectations for return. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">You have a beautiful heart, Grace!

You don't just feel love, you <i>show</i> love to those around you.</span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> I love how you use your God-given creative talents to share love with those around you. We love receiving your drawings and sweet notes. I love opening up my purse or planner and finding a little note of encouragement with your signature girly-curly-fancy letters. I love to see you dance and to hear you talk about the play you are composing. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">Expressing love is so much more valuable to those around you than just feeling the love. </span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> We must always do what we can to let loved ones know how much they mean to us. None of us are promised a set number of days. We have to love in the HERE and NOW. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">Thank you for loving us so well!

<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: x-large;">8. You are quick to forgive. </span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> You don't hold grudges. This is such an important trait. And in more than one way too. Always extend grace to those who are genuinely sorry for having hurt you, for we all make mistakes. That doesn't mean you allow someone to keep hurting you, just because they say "Sorry" over and over again. Pray for discernment and God will always help you make those tough decisions. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">There will be times in your life, when you must forgive in order to move on. Some of those times you will be forgiving without having received an apology. That is hard, but necessary. It gives you the freedom to let go of the hurt, rather than having it fester inside of you. </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">Guard your heart and keep it free from anger and hate. Forgive and allow healing to take place. </span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"> But always ask God to be your anchor so that you take the paths He has chosen for you...the paths that lead to growth and happiness.

<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">While sitting, put your right foot out in front and start making clockwise circles. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Now, take your right hand and draw the number 6 in the air. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Ha! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Yep, all of a sudden, your foot starts going in the opposite direction! </span></b><br />
