january discoveries

discovery - my word for 2012. well, i intended to be a bit more faithful in blogging about my discoveries, but alas, i failed. so i thought to my self, "self, get crackin." so here i am midway through february (it can be considered midway on the 9th right? i mean there are only 29 days!) and decided i'd give you bullet point discoveries from january. i like bullet points, but i usually think and process in circles so this might be a bullet point list in random order!



...the joy dare has given me many discoveries....like what i consider things to be grateful for

...grace - i'm discovering just how much i need it, don't deserve it, and crave it all at the same time

...how cool it is that my hubby knows random odd facts

...my family finds great joy in sitting in front of the tv on friday night and learning about people's family trees

...learning that i'd like to do more homemade

...i have an issue with sugar. kind of like a love affair

...son really does take care of his lizards

...i still have this unusual obsession for my morning blueberries with a bit of oatmeal

...i'm not as brave as i thought i was

...i really do need friendships

...princess is really into music, i mean really into it

...i happen to really like adele

...i have a lot to learn about contentment

...i don't like gray dreary winters but prefer bright white cold winters

...i have some pretty big dreams

...i am afraid of my dreams

so...there are just a few of my discoveries. hopefully, as february moves on i'm hoping to be a bit more vulnerable with my discoveries. so how about you? what have you been discovering?

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....
