Wordless Wednesday: Can't wait for this!

Traveling

We will be traveling this July. We always go to the same place, but we almost couldn't get the cabins we usually get. We were looking for cheap hotels that were near the lake that we usually stay. We had no luck. Finally the lady who owns the cabins called and let us know one was still available. Yeah! Praying for great weather!

Pay it Forward

Have you heard of this game? Well back in October I signed up over at Joanna's blog and was actually one of the top 3!! She is working on something and I can't wait, her stuff is beautiful!! I will start my pay it forward...but I am going to to do 1 extra person, for a total of 4. What I am offering to do is paint a piece of pottery for you. My brothers girlfriend had a pottery studio in her basement and I have been going to classes. I have done a few things and I enjoy it, just not sure how much pottery stuff I need myself.

I will send out a questionnaire to those who "win" and decide what I will make for you. I may give you a few choices too, not sure how to work that.

Here is the deal:

It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. You all know I’m already a PIF type of person. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

SO...on your marks get set...Comment!

The first 4 to comment who are willing to PAY OT FORWARD to at least 3 others will be my lucky recipients.

Menu Plan Monday

I actually sat down this morning and planned some meals. I am only doing 1 week shopping instead of 2 today, so hubby and I chose 5 meals.
All are from Simple and Delicious, 1 from Taste of Home.
I don't assign days, I make what I feel like that particular day=)



Here they are:

Fiesta Chicken Chowder
Turkey Cabbage Bake
Meaty Corn Bread Casserole
Broccoli Cheese Soup
Chicken Lo Mein
(our favorite takeout Chinese food, so we will try to make it on our own, I will let you know how it is!!)

(My husband loves casserole...stuff all mixed together! He chose most of them!)

**Stay tuned tomorrow to get a chance to get something from ME!**

We've joined

...the club of stitches and split chins today.



That's right, my baby boy had to get 3 stitches under his chin today.
My first time as a mom to take my kid to the hospital for an accident.
(Thank goodness we were with friends...God knew I needed someone with me)

He was incredibly brave and barely cried.
(Good thing I grabbed a whole box of fruit snacks...which were the culprit in the first place...he was climbing on the table to get them)


His best friend was there with him and all he wanted to do was go play with him in the
waiting room.



(Good thing E packed his book bag full of toys that morning)
