Cramped For Space....

Thanks to my wonderful employer, Town of Selma, I got a paid day off today that they like to call Birthday Day Off!!!!  Which means that in the month of our birthday we can take any day we want and it doesn't go against our Vacation or Sick time!  How wonderful is that?!  So what did I do?  WORKED!!!!!  

We have decided that our wonderful 2 bedroom Townhouse that we have been in since 2009 is starting to get too small for us.  With the arrival of Kaitlin 14 months ago, we just keep accumulating more and more STUFF!!!!!  I guess that is what happens with kids, right?  Anyway, Scott has also recently gotten a job working for Duke!  WHOOP, WHOOP!  So we need to get somewhere that is bigger, and in the middle of both our jobs.  So today we went house hunting...what a chore this is, so much so that I have pretty much turned all the reigns over to Scott and told him I couldn't deal with it anymore!  He can do the searching and when he finds something I will look and give the nod of approval or disapproval...sounds good right, I think so :)  So that basically took up most of the day, but it was nice spending all that time with just Scott and myself :)

After we got home from that I spent the rest of the afternoon De-Christmas-ing our house!  That will help with getting some space back!  Then we went and picked up Buggie from daycare and headed to dinner with my family for my birthday which is TOMORROW!!!!!!!!  Can't wait!  Although at my house, we have a hard time keeping presents from one another so I have already gotten my present from Scott and Buggie.  A beautiful charm bracelet!  It has a charm for our family-a P, a charm for Kaitlin-a Ladybug; and a charm for Breast Cancer, which I'm a huge advocate of! I will add a picture later, my computer is being stupid tonight.  I also got a cool sign from Erica and Elizabeth (my work girls) for our house, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!  I will post pictures of that later too!!!!


Well that is it for today...two blogs in a row...I may just keep up with my promise :)


Goodnight!

December 2022--Week 4 Meals

  Day 1: Christmas Day!!!  We had the a huge family meal at our house on Christmas Day!  Baked ham, baked beans, mac and cheese...all the fixings!!!  I hope you and your family had a great Christmas!  I know we did!! Cookies for Santa! Leaving their glitter dust so Santa can find the house! Opening presents Christmas morning! Day 2: Lasagna Soup with Breadsticks  It was still really cold in NC the day after Christmas, so what's better than a soup on a cold day?  I tried my hand at the lasagna soup recipe and my family gave this a 4 out of 5!  One thing we noted, we would probably add a little more broth, as the noodles sucked up the juice and it was less of a soup.  This recipe also calls for hot sausage...if you aren't a hot sausage person, this may be a little too spicy.  We are probably going to use mild next time we make it!  Lasagna is one of my favorite Italian meals, so this was a good spin on it! https://barefeetinthekitchen.com/lasagna-soup/ Day 3: Crockpot Swiss Steak

Hello again!  Are you ready for Week 2 of meals? Night 1: A family favorite!  Steak, Baked Potatoes, Baked Beans and Crescent Rolls! There is no recipe for this!  My husband loves ribeye steaks, the more fat the better he says LOL.  I make the baked beans the way my mama made them.  A can of Bush's Baked Beans with brown sugar, molasses, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce, pop in the oven (uncovered) for about 30 minutes at 350*.  They are SOOO good!   Night 2: Brooklyn and I had our Little League Cheer Christmas Party, so we had lots of food from the cheer moms!  Scott, Kaitlin and William hit up Bojangles.  Kaitlin had a game and William had basketball practice!  Divide and conquer night for sure! Night 3: Homemade Pizza rolls with Salad I wasn't home for this meal because I had a Board Meeting at work, so Scott made this one.  If I had of prepared better, this is one that you can make ahead, freeze and take out what you want to cook, but I didn't have time.  Something tha

December 2022--Week 1 Meals

  Week one of meals started December 4th!  I didn't take pictures of the meals, I'll do that in January, but I will post the links to the recipes for everyone! Night 1: Slow Cook Poor Man's Stew!  This was delicious!  One thing I'm really bad for, is taking out the ingredients that I don't like (onion, green peppers, etc.) but this challenge, I told myself I would make the dishes true to form!  This made a lot of food, I was able to give some to my parents.  My parents essentially live in front of us, my mom is always asking us "what's for dinner" (I'm telling you, my husband is an amazing cook!).  So anytime we have something left over, we make sure we give them some.  December in North Carolina has been really cold, so a stew on a cold Sunday was perfect!  Anything I can throw in the crockpot and forget, is my kind of meal!  This was a keeper in my family!   https://100krecipes.com/slow-cooker-poor-mans-stew/  Night 2: Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie w
