The Kassel Family Project Life 365

When you have a crappy day, ride it away.

I had forgotten how much better things are on a bike…

Recently, I discovered that several suppliers that I use for soap also make lotion bases. It actually turns out to be slightly cheaper than what I was buying every month at Target. So, I decided to give it a try.

It was super easy. I heated the lotion base using 30-second bursts in the microwave. When it reached 120 degrees and was liquid, I added fragrance oil and stirred well. Then, I poured it into bottles. After the lotion returned to a solid state, I put on the bottle cap and added labels.

It was so easy and I am looking forward to trying these out!

Well, at least one of my kids sends a selfie when I ask for a picture of the day!

I hung the pictures on the longer wall in my home office/guest bedroom today.

Then, Andy helped me finish the wall over my desk by putting up the floating shelves.

It is coming together nicely!

This is how we do Easter in the Kassel Castle when the girl cannot come home. I sent her a gift card, and she bought a meal from Red Lobster via Door Dash. Then, she joined us on Google Meet. I am actually looking forward to next year when Andy and I can join both kids in Cape Girardeau for Easter.

John’s Graduation announcements and address labels have been ordered from Shutterfly. I can check another thing off the Senior list!
