Not sure what to call this.

I am thinking about doing a meal planning, food fun type post each week. Am not sure what to name this. I had a posting for a little while that was Food Journey. I not sure if I like that. 

If I do a meal planning type post it would be my meal plans for Monday-Sunday. Since that how my planner I use is set up. Not sure yet but will figure something out..

Just for fun my meal plan this week is 

Monday- Breakfast for Dinner

Tuesday- Taco

Wednesday- Pizza Hut 

Thursday- Hamburgers and fries

Friday- Pot Pies

Saturday-Hot Dogs and mac and cheese

Sunday-Festive Chicken with rice

I only plan out my dinners for the most part. 

Let me know in the comments what you would like to see and a title for this

January 3rd Reflections

It is 2016. What do you hope this year brings? I refuse to make resolutions for I know I will break them. This year what comes comes. The last half of the year I have battled with more headaches then I wish I had and I fell and broke my shoulder in November. So this year I hope it will be better. 

Christmas was a great time. My girls each got the only thing they asked for from Santa. My oldest wanted the Lego Friends Grand Hotel, My youngest wanted a laptop. I recived a few things I have been wanting. I am going to learn how to knit, crochet as well as cake and cookie decorate as I got the Wilton 29 tips set. Today I am going to make a cake with homemade buttercream frosting. Something I never done before(make homemade buttercream frosting). 

As I look back on 2015 even with all the headaches and a broken shoulder it was a pretty good year I guess. Let me explain. Just like a lot of people there are many ups and downs. and well it seemed like there was more down then ups but the ups was great. My girls are both great students and love school. They are both beautiful dancers. My youngest is in 3 different dance classes this current dance season and I cant wait to see her dance them in May on stage. She is in ballett, tap, and lyrical. My oldest daugter go to dance in the Celtic Nutcracker the first weekend of December. It was so amazing. The kids that danced in that show are awsome. I love that my daughters have dance in their lives. 

I dont want to dwell on the bad so I wont.. 

Things will turn around. They always say he doesnt give you anything you cant handle and well I think that saying is ture. Life can be hard and stressfull. I know I get very stressed out and it something I need to work on. 

So here is to 2016. May life bring you Joy and Happiness. Peace and Love, and everything you wish for. 

Until Next Time

Cardz Tv Card Challenge Winter or Christmas Card

It has been a little while since I have created anything, and boy does it feel good to get crafty.

Kinda hard to craft with a broken arm(shoulder).

This challenge for Cardz Tv is to create a card for winter or christmas. I decided to make one for Christmas. I am feeling really into the season. 

I got all my christmas shopping for my kids done. I feel bad that most of my cards this year wont be hand made but since I have very little time to get cards made and with last month being non crafty sometimes you got to do what you got to do. 

So here is my first card that I made in over a month. 

I used black,white, real red and old olive card stock and the real red and old olive ink colors from stampin up. 

The sentiment is from Cardz Tv Stamps and is one of the new stamps set.

I just got that one in the mail and had to use it right away. 

Thank you for stopping by and please head over to Cardz Tv and take this card challenge with us. 

Until Next Time
