My Top 10 Time Saving Tips for Busy Moms
Before I had children I must admit I had NO clue how much parenting changes your entire life. Nothing is the same. Gone are the days of leaving the house in a flash, it takes us a good 10 minutes to get everyone and everything ready. Shoes, socks, arguments about socks, books, crayons, legos, diapers, wipes, water bottles, and on and on. You get me. I do remember I used to just grab my purse, maybe some cash in my back pocket, and head out. I would be in the car and out of the driveway in under a minute. One thing I have had to learn now that…
Review: Best Soup Around! DaKind Soup in Evergreen
Soup. Really, who doesn’t love soup? I know that our family loves soup! Recently, Groupon offered a deal at DaKind Soups in Evergreen. After checking out their STELLAR reviews on Yelp, Google and Yahoo, I purchased the Groupon. 2. We ventured there after a vacation in Vail. DaKind usually has around 8 soups available daily. They get up at 5AM and make FRESH soup everyday. How cool is that!?!? Cauliflower Soup, so creamy, smooth, rich and DELICIOUS! Meat Chili – Hearty and Yummy – LOVE the cheese. Mozzarella and Tomato Grilled Sandie – Really good maybe even better with a tad less Balsamic. GOOD though! Overall – 5 stars out of…
A Tribute to a Free Spirit
Have you ever known someone in your life who wasn’t hung up on all the trappings that most of us are? Have you ever known someone who is genuine, someone who is real, who is easy to be around? On Saturday, we lost my brother in law in a car accident. I am at a loss. He has 3 children, all teens. Why God? Bob was a true free spirit, living life not tied to the grind. Whenever I was around him he was so easy to talk to, so easy to be around. My husband has known him for over 20 years, he was a brother to him. He…
A Glimpse of Summer
Wow, we have had some terrible weather! May has been so rainy. However, we have had some gorgeous days shine through here and there. Some pictures to share, my glimpses of summer, cannot wait for this summer!! We have so many plans, yet I plan on keeping it simple too, days wide open to anything that might come up or not. We have a neighborhood pool and a season pass to a local garden. Tomorrow we leave for a mini vacation in the beautiful Rocky Mountains!
Creamy Chicken Pasta with Green Chiles
Pasta! Who doesn’t love pasta? Seriously!? With pasta, for me, come so many memories of family occasions, and delicious recipes. One thing that seems to be everyones favorite is Spaghetti. I have a fondness for my Mom’s spaghetti, talk about bringing me back to my youth. Her spaghetti sauce is really meaty, I love it. Everyone knows someone who has a special sauce recipe. I was thinking about the people I know who have secret recipes that are quite amazing. 1. My Sister in Law, she is Italian and her sauce with her homemade meatballs are OUT OF THIS WORLD. She cooks her sauce all day and night, the house smells so…
A Delicious, Light and Yummy Cake!
My mom makes the most delicious pineapple cake. It is my sister’s favorite and has quickly gained more followers as I have started making it. I never attempted to make it because I assumed my mom always slaved over it. Seemed complex. I don’t do cakes often. But I wanted to know how to make it. Turns out this cake – is easy as pie! But really, it is so easy! Make it, trust me, you will love it and so will everyone who eats it. It is a super light and fluffy dessert. I asked my mom where she got the recipe and she said that my Grandpa’s sister used…
The Homeschool Mother’s Journal – Week 10
Thanks to the Homeschool Chick and The Kelley Eight I will now be journaling this fantastically crazy journey we are on. I am thrilled, excited and thankful! Week #10: In my life this week… Planning. Planning! This drives me crazy, I am not a planner. However, I have to submit a Summer work schedule to my boss, schedule Camps and classes for the boys, and research and plan my curriculum for next year. I have sat down many times and can never quite finish. My mind goes crazy when I try to coordinate. This is hard stuff for me – why?!?! In our homeschool this week… I introduced my 1st Grader to a notebook we bought called…
Scones!
The perfect amount of sweetness. I love scones, love them! I love cinnamon scones, blueberry scones, citrus scones, and “fancy” scones. I call the authentic circular ones tops with jam and cream the “fancy” ones. Recently I went to Afternoon Tea and picked up a bag of scone mix. The first batch I topped with jam and whipped cream, the second batch got a milk chocolate frosting on top. They were delicious! My kids loved them. Here is a yummy recipe I made from scratch if you want to bake some up!
