St George Trip

We went to visit Mike's parents in St George a few weeks ago.  It was so much fun to see them.  And as always so much fun to see our kids with them.  They spoiled us rotten.  Jake and Sam both came home with toys, games, stuffed animals.  I came home with a whole new centerpiece for my table.  (Thanks Sharon!) 

 

 

We had such a fun relaxing weekend.  Mike and I got out to visit a few homes in the homeshow.  It was so nice to get away and be together.  We had great food and fun!

Thank you so much for the great weekend!

Menu Mondays

So last week after posting my menu. I decided to start a diet. Not really a diet, I can eat whatever I want. I just have to stay under x amount of calories. We are going on a trip in April, and I'd really like to drop a few pounds before then. That being said, I changed my menu up last week and a few carried over to this weekend. You'll notice that my options are lighter and lower in calories. I've been trying a few new recipes so I'll post links to them as they come up. So far everything new I've tried has been delicious!

Monday - Crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps
Tuesday - Fruit and Feta Salad
Wednesday - Chicken Noodle Soup
Thursday - leftovers
Friday- shrimp pasta

Hopefully I'll loose at least 2 pounds this week!  I'll add the calories to the meals as I figure it out. 

Been Busy

I've been very busy this week getting some of my sewing projects done and cleaning out my craft room.  Pictures to come soon!

Etsy Store Update

I've just added some fat quarter bundles into the store that are a steal! Head on over and take a look here.

Thirty-three

I spent a few minutes on Sunday pulling out the grey strands of hair from my head.

Doesn't 33 sound old?

At least I'm alive and healthy. Here's to another year.

Blog and Business Workshop

Head on over to Martas website this week to learn all about blogging and business.  She always has the best of the best tips.  She is my go to person when I need advice about my etsy shop or have blogging questions.  She is posting a workshop this whole week to help us all become pros like her.

Menu Mondays

Over the last few weeks I've stayed pretty close to my menus.  I usually miss at least 1 day, but I've been pretty good at cooking and I love it!  I'm trying out a few new recipes this week.  I try to only do 1 new recipe a week, but these are all pretty simple so I'm giving it a go! 

Monday - Baked Ziti
Tuesday - Eat out
Wednesday - Asian Chicken Salad w/garlic bread
Thursday - Slow cooker Southwest Chicken stacks
Friday - Spaghetti and meatballs w/garlic bread and cesar salad
Saturday - Pancakes
