First day of 4th..

Jeezzzz.....where did my baby go? I miss my cuddly little man.

Biscuits

Homemade biscuits....yummy and easy! After making what I wanted for supper I cut the rest out, froze them, and now all we have to do is thaw and bake. Love that I don't have to do the work every time I want homemade biscuits.

Buttercream and fondant

Yes it pretty ugly....but it was my first try. Honestly I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I will be making my own cake batter from now on though. I found a delicious recipe that is easy and so much better than a box cake!

To much pinterest??

Yeah Sam probably thinks so, but I on the other hand am loving all these ideas. :) Simple and a lesson learned during the process. ALWAYS check at the dollar store for crafting supplies before heading to Alco!

Something different!!

Definitely! My plan for dinner today was fried chicken strips, rice and gravy, yada yada....well I was way to LAZY! Yep I am admitting I am lazy. :) Or at least I have lazy days. So since the chicken was already thawed out I decided to make ranch chicken nachos. They were tasty and simple. Boil and shred chicken, add a package of hidden valley ranch dressing, and a can of Ricos nacho cheese. Heat and serve over chips.

Couponing

Most people that I know that coupon do it just for the free products that they can get. Yes free is good, but saving $50.00 dollars off of 150.00 dollar total is also. I have couponed off and on for the last 2 years and I have just started back. I now have a binder and a "plan" for when I go this Friday. Hoping it makes my shopping trips a little easier. Couponing with kids and a husband can be a pain! :)

Ready for take off?

I think I am. I have been wanting to start a little at home business. I decided on Crocheting for a Cause! Our daughter is a diabetic and we would LOVE a cure. I am hoping that by her teen years this will happen. Half of all of my profits will go to JDRF and the other half in a savings account for her insulin pump in the near future. If you would like to donate to help out or purchase a beanie, photo prop, or whatever else you desire you can email me at crystaljmitchell@gmail.com. You can use think link below to make a donation.
