*Mama side note* With the exception of night time my child is potty trained. I’m claiming it to be true now because I am just simply that proud and impressed with my little girl. To jump on a bit of a bragging train I have to share yesterday’s nap time story. I put on her […]
Since Intentional Wife Week was a bust I figured I’d better limit myself to another three part series. Clearly five posts on any one topic is pushing it for me and my scattered brain. At least I can remain on topic for longer than two days. Elizabeth-1 Forgetfulness-0. Today is clearly my day. I have […]
This weekend has been busy to say the least. We’ve invested in a ton of family time, though not all of it spent as a group of three. In prep for a busy evening with my girlfriends we ran massive errands in the morning and picked up the last chair for our formal dining room […]
We’re off on a week on brand new recipes. Since we had a bottle of Bud Light leftover in our fridge we’re turning it into the batter for fish and chips. Our meals this week aren’t as “grab and go” as last week’s were so we’ll see if we opt to add something more simple […]
Sadly, nap time for K for the past few days has immediately followed a time out. I know she’s cranky because her normally obedient self turns into defiant toddler and off to dreamland she needs to go. I’ve realized if I take her to time out, explain why when mommy says “no” she should listen, […]
UGH! This meal had me near cursing the chicken as I hammered it out. Remind me to only make this meal on the weekends or not when I’m pressed for time. Though it’s delicious, it royally stressed me out. I had to make a conscious effort to take my thoughts captive during the prep because, […]
I had a great schedule going with posting first thing in the morning but it seems I am mother/wife/worker/child of God…hear me rawr (just not from a blog.) Wednesdays are exceptionally difficult it seems. Between Bible study and driving back to work by 5 I have minimal time to do much. Granted today I did […]
The Pioneer Woman really wins. I always knew she was awesome but this recipe helped re-solidify her awesome-ness. Note: Exhibit A- In my effort to drop this last 10 lbs of unwanted grossness my portion sizes have dropped. I’m sad I started this diet lifestyle change in the midst of an awesome week […]
Who doesn’t love a meal you can carry in your hand that’s packed with meat, veggies, and tons of flavor? No one, that’s who. Enter: Bierocks to satisfy. The dough took quite awhile to make and while Chris was busy punching a mass of carbs I was burning calories of my own. Chris didn’t follow […]
For some reason I took it upon myself to spend the past three hours entirely rearranging a few rooms in our house. The front family room has always been K’s play space and since we have stacked formals she was constantly climbing on our new and oh, so, fabulous dining room table. I was […]
