so today was my little girls birthday. princess turned 7 ! i can hardly belive that it has been seven amazing(?) years. princess is such an interesting little person with a style all of her own.

tradition in our family has the birthday person picking out a dinner location. a few months ago, princess started talking about her pick. for some reason she was genuinely requesting the place with fish on the wall and shopping. soo off we went to the bass pro shop. everyone had fish and chips - except princess, she had pizza! of course we did some shopping as well. she is in need of a fishing pole she says.

princess has quite the personality. she is spunky and feisty - yet shy and timid. she is all about fashion, but doesn't seem to care if she matches. loves to give herself makeovers, but forgets to comb her hair or wash her face.

princess started her life 5 weeks early. she was a very little peanut at just under 5 lbs. she was cute and tiny and while i was warned she might not cry or that her lungs might be a bit undeveloped, she came out screaming! and she didn't stop for a good 10 months. while you may think i exagerate i do not. she screamed 24/7!! it was a very long year for all of us.

she is still petite, doesn't eat much, cries (more like whines), but is so pleasant to be with. she has a kind heart and is generally content. princess wakes up with a book in her hand and goes to sleep with a book in her hand. she plays contently for hours in her room. she loves to draw and write stories. she is learning the piano and has mastered london bridges:)

so happy birthday sweet girl. you are God's little princess and i love you with all my heart. i know God has an amazing story for your life....

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...

they're here!!!!

this is not how i left my house this morning. in fact, i wanted to take a picture of kitchen set-up #2. it was really quite a nice set-up my hubby did! very functional and i was pleased. but i came home this afternoon to my kitchen being moved to the dining room and boxes everywhere!!!!!!! as you can see....the cabinets are in and some are going up RIGHT NOW!!! isn't she pretty? i can turn each shelf by itself. look there are four drawers in the picture. i am used to only 1 drawer....what will i ever do with so many drawers? see those boxes above....i think i'll be able to start putting them away - maybe even tonight, although with idol, the olympics, and a very important mom's morning talk to prepare the box emptying may just have to wait! if you look closely you can find the red trim paint we sampled....i can't wait for the full effect ahh.....did i mention the countertops won't be installed until the 27th at the earliest and that i'm not without a kitchen ...
