music

so i changed up my music a little bit! i have to give credit to my friend for the 2nd song. she has it on her site and i go there just to listen. i love this kind of music. so i stole it from her!! sorry sweet friend...

anyways...the first one is an old favorite sung by one of my favorite idols - jason castro. sorry - he was just too cute with those eyes and humble spirit. i don't think fame is what he is cut out for and maybe that is why i liked him even more! anyways - fun song for sure!

so what is the real reason - frankly, i'm tired of living in contemplation. it has been my mindset for way too long. we are going through a lot around here, but i have decided to celebrate in it. i keep hearing God tell me that everything is okay. that He wants us to watch Him do more than we dreamed. so after spending most of the day yesterday asking him if i was truly hearing Him or just what i want to hear, i felt like i was scolded for asking. so i'm trusting in what I know to be true about my God. He is faithful, and He loves to bless. and in that, i desire to live in joy over these next few months of change.

so, although i want to remember, i needed to change up my music - bring back the fun into my mind and be me. i was reminded last night that in the midst of change and chaos there are some constants. one is God and the other is who He has created me to be...so i live on!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
