From bees to turtles...

I have a husband, 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats and approx. 50,000 bees. I can't feed anything else. I just don't have the time.

But my cute husband called from work to let me know that they found a "sand dollar sized baby turtle" and they had it in a box.

What is it about hearing the words "sand dollar sized baby turtle" that makes the "kid inside" you jump out with total excitement?!!?!?!? So of course I put my children who are dressed like cinderella and snow white with no shoes on in the car to go and see the turtle...

he's very cute, just like my husband.

So now I have a husband, 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats and approx 50,000 bees...and a baby turtle.

But don't worry... we will release him this weekend into the creek at the park for all of you "do not keep wild animals as pets people" :)

Here is a child friendly, fun , honey filled, recipe...

for the kid inside you!
