Photo Editing

As you can see I am playing around with photo editing. I don't have a fancy editing program like photoshop. I use a free one called splashup. If you go to splashup.com you can use it! You can tell I am getting used to it still, the photo looks cheesy. I still need to play around with it a bit. Wish me luck lol!

What's For Dinner?

Tonight when I got home I really didn't want to make anything that would take too long. Actually I really did not want to cook. I have been dragging all day. So I assessed what I had in my pantry and freezer. I look in the freezer and I had some left over turkey bacon. Then I looked in the pantry, and I have these little 4 oz packets of instant mashed potatoes. And I had broccoli that needed to be eaten and I had cheese. So I decided to cook the bacon until it was really crisp. Then I threw that in another pan because the bottom of the other one got too burned. Then I took my broccoli that I chopped up and put it in a measuring cup and put some of my instant hot water from my water cooler. That steamed it, I then threw that in the pan with the bacon. I shredded 1/2c of cheese and threw that in. Then I measured out 4 cups of my instant hot water and dumped my instant mashed potatoes in and presto! I had instant potato soup. I combined that with the other ingredients and bam I had a soup in a few minutes! The kids loved it and went back for thirds. That is why I say it serves only 4 hahah because my kids ate it up and kept eating it. And the upside its a little heathier than most things that are instant :)

Wow Its Been Almost A Year

Ok, so there have been a few people who have said I haven't written in my blog in a while. I checked and its been almost a year. How sad is that. So I am writing in my blog. Well, alot of things have happened in a year. Don't know where to begin. I am excited to be doing coupons to buy groceries that is always so much fun to get either freebies or to see how much I save! I had a blast doing an interview for the Beehive, one of the church newspapers. We got a new ghetto car that gets better gas milage. Its been a bit beaten up. I would have to thank Jason and Crystal Mabb for that car. It was much needed! School is starting real soon and Connor will be in 2nd grade and Rylee will be in Kindergarten! I can not believe she will be going. It is all day too. It's going to be strange having her gone all day. But that means I can go to the temple now! I wonder if there is a day I can volunteer every week :) Its sad to see them grow up so fast!
