My New Business

I wanted to share some news with you about my new business with Uppercase Living. As most of you know, I have been a stay-at-home mom for quite some time. I really miss getting out, meeting new people and using the creativity and passion God has given me. I am very excited about this new opportunity because the products "wow" me and are very cost effective.

Uppercase Living has expressions for every occasion and you can even create custom designs. Some inexpensive ideas include coasters, monograms, wall expressions, auto embellishments, and even chalk wall items.

Check it out!

Defective Dog

Snowball is unique.

Top Ten Snow-isms:
1. She HATES wet ground and refuses to step on the grass.
2. She chases her tail and looks at you like you are WEIRD.
3. She gets herself wrapped up in her leash everytime I put it on her.
4. She destroys all toys except for one stinkin' $.82 cheap toy from Walmart.
5. She will steal things and bring them to me to "trade" for a treat.
6. She loves to chase a laser beam (I think she's part cat).
7. She doesn't like to be "naked" (without her collar).
8. She is freaked out by stray soccer balls in our yard.
9. She hides things under our bed.
10. She licks EVERYTHING (this is the dog I chose because she licked my face!)

We still love you Snowy!

Where is my Sweet Child?



Haven't seen the sweet size of Marissa in a few weeks.
It's too early for these pre-teen behaviors.

Just yesterday:

She THREW a hamster (it's ok)
She PINCHED Micayla hard enough to leave a bruise
She called me CHEAP in front of a shoe store
She had a TANTRUM in Walgreens like a toddler
She ARGUED with me regarding homework again

Oh, sweet child...please come back...soon!

Snowball


Snowball really needs to pull her weight and get a job.
She needs to pay for all the stuff she destroys.
I really think the dog in this commercial could be her twin.

What do you think?
Should Snowball pursue an acting career?

Craftsman's Chicken

Tuesday was the first session of SPOTS and we had a game show where we shared our favorite cooking disaster. Our table won.

Here it is:

1 lb boneless chicken breasts
1 head of broccoli
1 lb mozzarella cheese
salt & pepper to taste
paprika for garnishing
1 wet-dry vac

Rinse broccoli and separate into stalks. Flatten chicken breasts and add salt and pepper to taste. Place mozzarella cheese and broccoli on top of chicken and roll up. Use toothpicks to hold in place. Place in a baking dish. Sprinkle paprika on top. Bake at 350° for approximately 30 min. or until the chicken is cooked through.

Here’s how the recipe got its name:
Lou had prepared the chicken and Margaret was just going to add a little paprika for color. Instead, she added cinnamon! Oops! No problem ... Lou will just vacuum up the cinnamon with the Craftsman wet/dry vac. Well, to prove the strength of the wet/dry vac, just see how fast it sucks up chicken, leaving only toothpicks and broccoli behind! True Story!

Bob Vila gives this recipe 5 hammers!
