Tuscan Soup
07Apr
Last night I made this amazing Tuscan Soup. It’s definitely a keeper. It’s from Splendid Soups and Super Sides, Winter 2013 edition.
The recipe calls for chicken broth, but i use my homemade vegetable stock. It makes all the difference. I’ll never buy a box or can of stock again. EVER! It’s so simple too!
Things That Make You Go Hmmm…
05Apr
Isn’t this display from Walmart cute? I admit it caught my eye. Quick and easy relief…and colorful! And only $1.32. But is that really a deal? I say NO! We can fill our bodies, and our children’s bodies with chemicals and their nasty side effects for $1.32 or we can treat all these ailments with Lavender or Peppermint for $0.09 a drop! I’ll take essential oils please! These oils work!

1. We recently got Jared his own library card. He loves books! He wanted to read about Star Wars, The Revolutionary War (especially about events that happened in South Carolina) and World War II. My husband watches documentaries on WWII a lot, so Jared wanted to learn more and read to his dad what he’s learning.
2. Been hearing more and more about the benefits of bone broth. Was watching the cooking channel and saw this amazing recipe. Been having a cup every day.
3. In love with these nails! So Spring like!
4. Orange Essential Oil from Young Living. Reduces wrinkles and breathing it in makes me do the happy dance. Really uplifting!
5. Loving this live rendition of Do You Want to Build a Snowman. Who doesn’t love Frozen?
Glitter Girl Adventure

I saw this video from Glitter Girl on twopeasinabucket and was so inspired I ordered the Maggie Holmes Flea Market Mini Kit off of Amazon. So cute! I love how she cuts up some of the cards to use as embellishments to pull the whole two page spread together. I can’t wait to use it!
PROJECT LIFE: February
13Mar
It seems like I’m always playing catch up with my PL and i’m actually ok with that. I want to enjoy the process, so if i take an afternoon and do several pages, it’s all good! I used to try to work on it every other day, and my life right now just doesn’t accommodate that. Sometimes you just have to roll with it. And I’m rolling!
