Re-posted from last year:

Its hard to believe that its been 8 years since 9/11/01, it really seems just like yesterday. I cannot begin to have any idea of how the family members of the victims feel but I know that all I can do is say a pray for them.

remember

love this!!

Just Curious...

$$

Just curious what everyone budgets for their groceries?? I do about $60 a week but I call it my Walmart fund(cleaning supplies, personal/health, food, etc). I don't just shop at Walmart though, I hate their produce selection!! I know that I could do better but I did try $40 a week although that seemed a little low.

I am probably one of those obsessive people when it comes to the budget. I am always trying to find ways to cut corners :) especially since we won't have two incomes like we do now if I get into the nursing program this spring.

a little secret...

So I having been keeping this little secret to myself for awhile now but I thought I should be nice and share it with everyone..........

Anyways I stumbled upon this website today and they are giving away this super cute quilt, just head over to their website to see the details or click on quilt giveaway button I added on the left side of my blog:)

Just something I whipped up

I was trying to figure out what to make for a snack for Bible Study after a couple of days of thinking this what I whipped up(my coworker gave me the basics but I added cinnamon to the mix)...

What you need: Peanut Butter, Plain Vanilla Yogurt, Cool Whip and Cinnamon.

What to do: Mix 2 large spoonfuls of Peanut Butter(i am guessing 1/2-3/4 cup), small container of plain vanilla yogurt(6 oz), 2 heaping 1/2 cup fulls of Cool Whip plus a little more(maybe 1 1/3 cup), heaping 1/8 tsp of Cinnamon plus a sprinkle or two. So I don't always measure things I just add until it taste good :)

Serve with: Apples and bananas

*Also if you have not seen the new Dutch Delight it looks amazing!! Great work Jessica and Jane :)*

People have been complaining........

*We went to lakes over the 4Th of July which is why we missed the 5Th wedding.
*We were not home for three weekends in a row, I was so glad to be home last weekend :)

*Our computer was at the computer doctor last week and then the Internet would not work but it is all fixed now :)
