Taco Bake Recipe

Recently, it occurred to me that, at age 14, Cinderella needs to become responsible for helping to cook meals.  Not only will it help me, but it will also give her some responsibility while helping her learn some good recipes for the day when she is out on her own.  She was in the mood for tacos when we spoke about it, so she was all about taking over the Taco Bake recipe tonight. Now, I can't start this post without mentioning that I got this recipe from The Country Cook.  You can find her original post here. Ingredients: 1…

Quick and Easy Earache Remedy

So within the last couple of weeks, my entire household (with the exception of Rapunzel) has been sick. Not only that, but some friends of ours from church and our family have had the same thing, generally beginning with some congestion and a cold, developing into an upper respiratory or bronchial problem. Several individuals, including myself and our own little Tinkerbell, ended up with some ear pain as well. I think it was last week that I had my ear pain. It started on Christmas, and as we drove around I had a great amount of ear pressure in the…

If You Could Sum Up 2012 in One Word…

...what would it be? For me, I'd have to say conflicted. Initially, I wanted to say that it was "discouraging".  It was disappointing, frustrating, sad.  I was appalled by the insensitivity of people who were supposed to protect me.  I lost my job.  Many of our friends separated and/or divorced.  My uncle was diagnosed with cancer.  Money was tight.  We spent over $950 on Prince Charming's truck, our dog has ear mites, my medication costs went up, and our dishwasher broke.  When it rains, it pours.  Children died.  People were killed.  We lost some friends to vicious diseases. BUT THEN... I…

A Basic Intro

Okay, so here I am to start afresh.  I am in the third month of stay-at-home-momhood--which is not really what I can call it technically...because I am in direct sales and am about to go into part-time work.  But that's not the point.  I've had blogs in the past in which I actually posted about personal subjects, but I've discovered in this world that anything subjective can be taken the wrong way.  So here I am objectively.  I just can't stay away from the blogging world.  I love to write too much.  I love to share too much.  And I've…
