WORD

I just LOVE this!!! There is so many reasons why you would say this to someone.

Wednesday Word

I can't tell you how many times I have said this saying. I just love it and it can sum up so many feelings and attitude.

Cooking away

I decided about 2 weeks ago I was tired of going to the grocery store almost everyday for one or two items to make a meal that I would finally get smart and meal plan for the week. Let me tell you it's been nice. Mark just approves what we have which is SO hard because he is picky in what he likes to eat. Thank goodness for Pinterest and new recipe ideas, it has helped expand my go to meals. I am so grateful that Mark is willing to try out the new recipe. I will give him credit when I do plan out the week he will cook from time to time too. He tried to bbq ribs the other day and he was doing a great job until the propane ran out 3/4 of the way thru cooking the ribs. But no worries we just threw the ribs into the oven and it turned out yummy.

My newest Pinterest recipe came from the Pioneer Women ( which I totally love her). If you haven't heard about the Pioneer Women, Ree Drummond , you need to learn about her FAST!! Her book is amazing and I love her cooking show on the Food Network and of course I follow her on Instagram (she takes amazing pictures). Thanks to her I have a new breakfast favorite: Breakfast Quesadilla. If any one knows me , knows that I am not a fan of eggs unless there is multiple things in it. So this recipe is perfect for me. Its just a new way to eat a breakfast burrito and who doesn't love a good breakfast burrito.

  What you need to make it according to Ree, the colored it my remarks on how I changed it up.

Wednesday Words of Wisdom

Every Wednesday I will be (hopefully) posting my favorite sayings or words I just love or remind me of home. This one saying remind me of my dad and showing cattle and adding knowing how slow molasses can be.

Hosting a online trunk show

So I got asked to think about hosting a online trunk show for Stella & Dot. I have always loved their stuff and my sister from another mother is a rep so I decided to jump in and host a online party. I've always had a love hate relationship with going to all this tupperware, cooking, jewelry parties I LOVE the stuff and hanging out with friends. But I feel like a bad guy if you don't at least buy one thing. So luckily with an online trunk show there is no face to face pressure and you can shop when you can and in your pj's. 
 It started on April 1st and runs until April 22nd. I was hoping all that checked it out would buy for Easter or upcoming Mother's Day. I have to say one of my favorite things about Stella & Dot is they have a wish list and that can be shared with others. If everyone has a man like mine, then they too hate to go shopping cause they don't know what to get you.

 So please check it out and see what you think here is the link:

Just a few things from Stella & Dot that I LOVE!!

New hobby taking pictures

I just love taking pictures of Little Miss and she is such a good sport for letting me take them all. I am that mom that now over shares on Facebook. But I feel like I have to since so many of my loved ones are on the west coast. I did a mini Easter session with Landry since the blue bonnets aren't quite up yet. I am so grateful I am crafty and have a nice camera. 

3 years make a difference

Its been three years since I entered my 30's and it has been one hell of a ride and for the most part I have loved every minute of it.  No way 3 years ago if someone told me I would be a mom, living in Texas and engaged to a AMAZING man, would I have believed them. I am so grateful and blessed to be where I am today. I may not be setting world on fire or super rich, but I love my life, job and family. Sometimes the riches in life are not measured by the size of your bank account but by the people and experiences that you have. For all those moments I am grateful.
