What’s for Dinner ~ Lazy Lasagna

What's for Dinner ~ Lazy Lasagna Looking for a quick easy dinner to satisfy the family before baseball practice? How about this awesome Lazy Lasagna.  I have made this a few times over the last month and it’s a real hit in the crafty shack! Ingredients (I have left out amounts because I am more of a throw it all together kind of cook.  The amounts you need depend on how large a pan you are using, and how much of each ingredient meets your particular taste.) Frozen cheese ravioli (I found some nice big ones at...

Quick and Easy Dinner With Tyson Chicken

I don’t know about your household but mine is a bit over scheduled at the moment, some nights we run from one thing to another and back again.  This schedule doesn’t allow much time for meal preparation and drive thru gets old really fast (and its expensive not to mention not so good for us.) I was recently introduced to Tyson Grilled and Ready Frozen Chicken and I have to say I am very pleased.  This chicken is frozen and already cooked; it comes diced, cut into strips or in...

Photo Shoot Outtakes

Photo Shoot Outtakes Ok so you saw the photos I posted yesterday of the photo shoot I had with my daughter a few weeks ago right?  Well as you know no photo shoot is complete without the outtakes so I decided to make up another collage today and show you some of the outtakes. The ones of her by the tree look like screenshots from a horror film lol.  You see we were not alone on our little walk through the woods, the boys were with us and well, boys will be boys.  While she was posing they were pulling vines out...

I Heart Faces Week 16 ~ Collages

I Heart Faces Week 16 ~ Collages Today my baby girl turns 13.  I know it sounds cliche buy it seems like only yesterday I was holding my first born in my arms soaking up all her sweetness.  She was all I had ever dreamed of, all I had ever wanted and there she was, all mine, my baby girl. As much as I miss my baby girl, I am enjoying watching my daughter grow into a young woman.  She is like a mini me, we share the same passion for books, photography and music.  We enjoy spending girl time together and are both very...

Home Sweet Home

You may have noticed over the last few weeks that I have been a bit absent.  I have been ignoring my little corner of the internet due to obligations in my offline life.  I think I may have even developed a tick from not being on Twitter enough! It feels good to be sitting down at my computer again doing what I enjoy.   My head is full of ideas and things I want to share.  I hope you will join me...

Secrets of the Mountain DVD & Soundtrack Giveaway

Secrets of the Mountain DVD & Soundtrack Giveaway Family movie night is back!  I remember a time (when I was younger) and  I would sit down on a Friday or Saturday night with my mom and dad and watch a great family movie during prime time on network television.  Since I have had kids, it seems like there have not been many opportunities like this for me and my children.  Thanks to P&G and Walmart the family movie night drought is over! P&G and Walmart decided to work together in creating “Secrets of the Mountain”...
