The Way to My Heart

I can not tell you how my life (in the kitchen) changed once I discovered food blogs. I peruse them each day. Check them out if you need a recipe for something new, or something specific.

My Very Favorites.  I am So Excited When They Are Updated. I've Added a Bunch of Recipes to My "Tried and True" File From These Blogs. When I'm Looking for Something Special to Make, I Look Here First:

The Reasons Why...

I neglected Never a Dull Moment:

1. Mr. J

2. Miss M

3. Big A

4. Little E

5. Baby S

6. Five kids is such a blessing, and more insane than I ever imagined!

7. Extremely busy husband

8. Lost 32 pounds - almost to my goal

9. Trained for a half-marathon

10. Got a little side tracked by all the cool workout gear available in stores

11. Got injured and had to drop the training a couple of weeks before the race

12. SO BUMMED (see number 11). When I'm all healed, I'm giving it another go

13. My house. Will I ever be caught up?

14. Notice that I put a lot of things before my house

15. Discovered a new love for Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi. So relaxing!

16. New obsession with food blogs

17. Darn that Facebook

18. Laundry & Grocery shopping - can I get a big fat ugh.

19. Planning our summer; what are you doing for fun this summer?

20. Getting an updated family photo.

21. Searching and searching for a local professional photographer who can take photos like this without costing a small fortune. Finally found one - can't wait to see the finished product.

22. New church responsibility. Primary chorister for the third time. Very fun, but very time consuming

23. Have read a few good books. Check them out on my GoodReads profile. Are we not friends yet? Well then please add me to your list

24. Tried to spring clean. *Snort* That lasted for about two days

25. I don't have a #25. But I felt funny stopping the list at 24.

Busy April

March - Good Grief

Oh, good grief. Updating my blog is taking me so much longer than I thought it would.
Life never slows down.
Here are more pictures so you can see a glimpse of what we did in March. Not super entertaining, but the grandparents will be surprised at how much Baby S has grown!




Thought the expression on Little E's face was pretty funny here.

(Side note: Does it seem that I'm either sweeping the floor or getting ready to vacuum in a lot of these pictures? That's because I do this ALL DAY LONG.)

Now, let's go fly a kite with Big A!
