Afternoon Tea

I love tea :) Today I'm having pineapple lychee by the Republic of Tea with some local raw orange blossom honey :) They say that if you have allergies or get sick a lot, you should eat at least a tablespoon a day of some local honey. They say to do that where you travel as well to boost your immunity to new bugs. I learned that while studying abroad in New Zealand and ate enough Manuka honey to turn into a large kiwi bee. It's still my favorite honey :) Here Manuka honey goes for $30 a jar!

I've also found 2 of my favorite things in 1 tasty treat: panda bear meets gummy bear. They're quite delicious as an organic substitute for my favorite candy of all time: Haribo gummy bears. Definitely not the same though because they ACTUALLY taste like grapefruit rather than a sugar concoction... Did I mention I LOVE Haribo gummy bears? Mmmmmm sugar concoction!

So if it hasn't been obvious by my posts, Violet is a wonderful sleeper... At night. I've been trying to work on daytime naps for the past week since she's up pretty much all day. I've been aiming for 3 naps, 1 hr each (or just 3 hrs total in any form) - right now she does a couple of 30 minute naps and not a minute longer. Today we had a breakthrough with 2 naps so far at 55 minutes long! Just spectacular if you ask me!

So far it's been a great day... Visit from papa, lunch with daddy and papa, 2 naps, tea, gummy bears, AND V didn't scream in her carseat! I'd like to give a big giant thank you to Violet's gramma (Harrison) for suggesting we take out the head support cushion! It made a huge difference :)
