  19. Look at that sweet rolling baby! Go Violet go! You can also make smores in a waffle cone. Wrap them in foil and put on a grill or a fire. They are so good especially if you get the sugar waffle cones. Just what a Mom needs for her kids, more sugar!

  20. I've wanted to post this many of your videos before this one and it's everytime Violet is shown, a smile automatically comes over me! She brings out the "everything is all right in the world" feeling! She is such a little cutie and bundle of joy. I also wanted to share that I've been in saunas since I was a young girl. Having relatives who were of Finnish and other Scandinavian descent, sauna was regular Saturday early evening ritual. And jumping in the snow in between throwing water on the rocks on the wood-burner to make more steam while sitting on the highest bleacher style benches wasn't for the faint-hearted, especially when younger. We were given a towel, washcloth, bar of soap and a communal metal bucket that we filled with water to wash ourselves. The towel sat in the outer room to stay dry. We had to wet the bleacher type seats with water and generally sit on the washcloth because the seats were so hot. I think they were painted silver to make them absorb the heat. The most embarrassing part for me the 1st time was to be naked in front of my cousins, girls of course. The jumping in the snow, winter saunas, hot and naked was always done on a dare. These were my experiences of many a sauna that I went to. Pls message me if you have any questions concerning having saunas and enjoying them. A person felt very clean and refreshed…like a new lease on life, after this cleansing! ENJOY YOUR SAUNA AS I DID!

    Banana Bread Cinnamon Rolls 🍌
    Ingredients:
    For the Dough:
    1 cup warm milk
    2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
    2 large eggs
    1 teaspoon salt
    4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup mashed banana (about 2-3 medium bananas)
    For the Filling:
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    1 cup brown sugar
    2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
    For the Icing:
    4 oz cream cheese, softened
    1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

    In a large bowl, mix warm milk with yeast and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
    Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and mashed banana. Mix well.

  34. Violet is such a cutie pie! She is getting so big. That sauna is going to be so nice when it's done. It's so weird you are experiencing fall already. I am just north of Philadelphia, PA, and we have a heat advisory for tomorrow. It's going to be around 95 degrees! I am so ready for cooler weather.

  35. I had a thought for Mark – what about where you have shifting a piece of decking in front of the sauna, have that second piece one step down from the one you have placed in front of the door – giving you wide decking steps
