Howdy, everyone. I hope everyone had a good Hump Day. I'm happy because my husband is off work tomorrow. :) Today was an okay day. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night because my husband was cold so he had the heat on, but I was burning up so I was unable to sleep. I was able to take a couple naps with my daughter, though, so it all worked out. Yesterday we received our new camera in the mail. (I love 1saleaday.com; they had a Kodak Easy Share camera - Originally $200 for $40!) … [Read more...]
Hello There!
I hope everyone had a wonderful week. I know I did! My husband and I had a great mini vacation away. Now it's back to reality. Lol. I missed my little girl, though.

We were eating at Frisch's and she was enjoying her mac and cheese. :) My weekend is being filled with working on my recipe site, Peace Love Recipes, as much as I can. I … [Read more...]

High School Paying Kids To Go To School… Really?
A local school around my city is going to start paying their seniors $25 a week if they go to school all week and don't have any disciplinary actions. After reading this article, I just had to write about it. First off, I would really like to know who even thought of this idea. The principal said that they've tried everything - pizza parties, no uniforms days - to try and get kids to attend. My first thought: why aren't the kids attending school themselves without incentives? Do parents … [Read more...]
Thankfulness – February 5, 2012
I'm sorry this is a little late. I took a nap after the Super Bowl and I just woke up a little bit ago. It's been an up and down day for me, so I really need to focus on the things I'm thankful for: My mom taking me to Steak n Shake for breakfast. My dad for babysitting my daughter while mom and I went out. Miles being such an amazing daddy. (Something I'm thankful for every day.) My crock pot wings turning out really yummy; fall off the bone goodness! The nap I got after the … [Read more...]
