Checking In...

Hey-O did ya miss me? I have just been maxin' & relaxin' this week with the family. Sometimes you just need a break from the blog world.
We really have been enjoying this time, hanging out and just laying low.  I was so excited to see Hunger Games and it did not dissapoint!! Did you see it? What did you think?
I also have been cooking up a storm and making freezer meals for the future, along with some yummy cinnamon rolls via The Pioneer Woman. (Although I cut waaay down on all the butter & sugar she says to use (yikes) I  made a huge batch of Enchiladas. Some for us and some for a friend who just had a baby. I stopped by to drop them off and her baby is so stinkin' cute. But I forget how tiny newborns are! Which is amazing that almost 11 months ago someone let us leave the hospital and bring home something that little for us to care for day and night!?! crazy!
Babies are everywhere! My blogger friend Valerie just had a sweet baby boy stop by and say congrats at Bohemian Season. (It's a super great blog too!)
Well I better get back to family time... and netflix instant streaming... and a bunch of magazines that came in the mail...

I am going to leave you with some lovely kitchens I found on Pinterest. Oh the things I could create in these kitchens... sigh.

These really make me want to update our kitchen. But, alas, that will be a ways down the road.

I missed you! So how did you like the cinnamon rolls? I tried that recipe but wasn't crazy about how they turned out, but maybe I made them wrong (good chance).
I would love to hear about your freezer meals!

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW !

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
