I know a lot of people who swear by prepared frozen meals. Since I love to cook I have been reluctant to give it a try; however, since I like to prepare myself for an unexpected future and I’m taking December off I decided to give it a try. A short deviation from my … More Freezer Meals
It was a nail biter for a minute. I had to turn the tv for part of the 3rd quarter to ensure victory (its crazy but true. I’m bad luck and if a team is losing I leave it stop watching they get it together). Now for Pasadena!
I love being busy. You only get to live once so I don’t want to waste a minute. That said, I’m a little worn out. I enjoy the things I do but I’ve been doing a lot lately. Even my days off work are filled with running errands, cleaning and catching up with people. I … More December
I’m not a huge quiz person but Kat seemed so impressed with the results of the iPersonic Personality Test I had to try it out and I feel like they nailed me down pretty well. Social Realists are popular persons full of energy. They are reliable, well organized and helpful. Traditional values are important … More This Is Me
November was my busiest month yet! There were literally 2 empty days on my calendar! It was all fun stuff and I’m thankful for the time I am able to spend with family and friends. I was particularly lucky because I had lots of time with some of my favorite little girls: Erin, Kensley and … More November Round Up
I do a happiness jar with my MEP girls every week and I love it. It’s important to think of something positive – especially when you sometimes feel nothing positive is going on at all (a big problem for teenagers). Thankfulness posts are prevalent on Facebook in November but it’s not really my thing. Instead … More Thankfulness Tree

Sunday she was quite fussy but I appreciated the experience of a semi-inconsolable baby. I learned a lot of things this … More Parenting Practice Take II
This week’s household project was a chalkboard for the dining room. You may have noticed it in the background of the last post but here’s the close up. To my surprise and delight Danny was actually the one to initiate the project this weekend. The frame had been sitting against the wall for months (a … More Baby It’s Cold Outside
In a much over due get together Kristin and Paul came over for game night yesterday. I made a cake for the occasion and I think it was my best yet. Chocolate cake mix (I used coffee instead of water and it really heightened the flavor), a raspberry filling and some almonds for added flavor … More Midweek Game Night
I found a new blog via Pinterest recently. J&AandCo.. It’s great and you should check it out. One post I found was a 100 Things About Me list. Sounds daunting but it could be something fun to look back on. I get hungry when I’m tired I usually eat instead of doing the obvious and … More 100 Things About Me
