I certainly wouldn't mind bacon-greased turkey AND $500! Thanks for the idea and giveaway opportunity,

Gravy and Stuffing Baby {CONTEST CLOSED}
This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Swanson. Have I told you how much I love Thanksgiving? It is, quite possibly, my favorite meal get together of the year. I want to share with you my favorite gravy recipe of all time. It is easy, it is efficient, it is delicious! All you do is ...
I just read in short succession that you were pregnant, scared and going to a specialist, and, now, completely and utterly, wonderfully fine. This is what comes of reading my google reader only once every couple of weeks.
I am so happy for you, and relieved that you have been spared this particular trial. I've been blessed with divine reassurance for my last two babies that all will be well (after two miscarriages), and it has been the sweetest thing to absolutely know that all will work out.
Enjoy (?) being pregnant, and try not to throw up too much. ;)

The Best Mistake Ever
I am still in shock I think. But in a good, good way. I just got back from the perinatologist. Her reaction to looking at my ultrasound? "Well, everything looks great. Why exactly were you here today?" To which I responded by bursting into tears and trying to speak but having only, "mfphgmnfphp...
Wow, you are so much more crafty and motivated than I am. I'm planning my 6-year-old's party and am not even decorating. But we'll make strawberry lip balm, play outside, and maybe do lots of artwork. Maybe al fresco? This party is really, really neat, and I just think you're even neater for doing it.
Thanks for showing us all the hard work you were able to give your son. Now, rest. ;)

The Final Round-Up~ Party Style
This final post I really have to give all the credit to my hubby. I basically told him, "Honey, can you build me a table and chairs for Parkers party?" "Sure, what kind of chairs?" "Well, just make it look like an "h" from the side. Simple!" Ha! But make it he did. It all started with a pri...
Oh, my kitchen beats that out any day (and that's a good thing). It's so hard to throw out food sometimes. If I screw up a recipe, I let myself leave it on the counter at least a day before throwing it away. Either my husband and kids will eat it anyway, or I'll feel less guilty about trashing it.
I'm so jealous of your awesome food coloring set and beautiful kitchen! Good job on getting it all clean.

Think Your Kitchen is Messy? Take a Peak at Mine.
Life has been pretty hectic in the last two weeks, and unfortunately, not only does my attitude suffer when I feel stressed... my house does as well. I have been baking up a storm in the last five days... Easter Egg Cake with surprises inside, vintage Easter cookies, and butterfly birthday cakes...
What a fun post, and what beautiful children. I understand exactly how you feel about the grass and spring. We're in Idaho, so it's really hard to wait until springtime.

Get Your Hands Off My Salsa
Even though I live in Minnesota and we will very likely have winter like conditions for at least another month... when I saw this little patch of grass I nearly took off my shoes just so I could walk barefoot in it. I miss grass. I miss walking outside without shoes and plopping down on the gr...
Ahh, she still looks cute! As long as she's happy with life, who cares what her hair looks like? And she looks very happy. I cut my daughter's bangs too short almost every time I trimmed them. Fortunately, her hair grows really fast so it covers any mistakes I make.
Confessions of a Cheap Mommy
This is my youngest child, my baby girl, my sweet giggly Audrey. Exhibit A Although it would be fun to post pictures of her and talk about how cute she is and oohh and aahh over my precious little angel, thats not what has inspired me to share today. I want to talk to you about a couple person...
You look beautiful! And I love that green necklace you're wearing.
I think it'd be more interesting meeting politicians than other celebrities, simply because I pay far more attention to politics than Hollywood and sports. Although, I freely admit to not wanting to meet particular politicians because I want to punch them in the face.
But, hey, you're a celebrity now! You've been on TV!
My "Famous" Encounter *UPDATED*
I use that word loosely, because most people don''t think of politicians as famous. I however, dont get out much. Most folks who know me IRL know where I stand with politics. Well, most folks who don't know me IRL know where I stand with politics. But it seems, for some odd reason, that I onl...
It's always nice to put a face, voice, and personality to the blog. Looking forward to it!
