30 for 30 Spring Remix Challenge #24

I am so tired today,  kids have been getting up early these past few days, no more sleeping in, when the sun comes out. 

We went to the library for story time, Picked up a few things from Target & Michael's and went to "look" at patio furniture at World Market. Then, home for lunch, naps and lessons. 

This is what I wore today:

Today was busy busy. We went to brunch at a friends house, then a little shopping at marshalls, Nordstrom Rack, and IKEA and then out to lunch. 

Just in time for nap time and then spending the rest of the day outside.

Mother's Day Ideas

What do you think of when you think of an ideal mothers day?

I want to be surrounded by my husband and kids. We usually just go out for brunch and then spend the rest of the day doing something fun together. We usually don't do gifts, but maybe I will send my hubby this post as a "subtle" hint... ;)

Here are some fun ideas for mothers day

Do brunch with family and friends:

30 for 30 Spring Remix Challenge #22

Today I attended a repeat passover service, since I was not able to attend the original one a month ago. 

I had a very quiet and spiritual day. I spent this day fasting, in prayer and just reflecting over the love of our God. 

This is todays outfit:

Making Russian Pelmeni (ground beef stuffed ravioli)

Last time I made Russian Pelmeni, I got a lot of requests to share my recipe and how I use the Pelmeni mold. So this time I took the time to photograph and write down my recipe. 

This is one of those things that you do by memory because that's how my Mama thought me.
I remember all us girls sitting around the kitchen table talking and laughing, Mama got to cut and roll the dough, and we all got to fill them by hand. No need for a pelmeni mold when you have 6 girls in the house! I seriously miss those days.

It was taking me a very long time to make pelmeni by hand, so I decided to buy the mold online and try it out. I am sure if Mama found out I was using a mold, she would not be happy. She alway said they tasted better made by hand.

But I think they still turn out perfect! The secret is to roll out the dough nice and thin. 

Technically this is my Mama's recipe. 

I haven't tried any different recipes and I don't want to. The dough and filling always turn out perfectly.

Dough:

2 egg
1 cup water
