The stencil was made by tracing around the star to the left of the window. This was super easy with cans of 10 minute quick dry paint.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Crockpot steak meal</title><content type="html">&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;
There was a new recipe floating around for this crock pot recipe I just had to try. Sort of like the Hard boiled eggs cooked in the oven that I just had to try. I only read it for a second and lost where it was but I know it said 6 hours on Medium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kfgJ7VHAgxA/UbfzISBVdXI/AAAAAAAAFrU/1oqGZBw_q_0/s1600/Crockpot+steak..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="223" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kfgJ7VHAgxA/UbfzISBVdXI/AAAAAAAAFrU/1oqGZBw_q_0/s320/Crockpot+steak..jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is How &amp;nbsp;I cooked mine.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I &amp;nbsp;Added New york strip steaks minus that big strip of fat on the side to the bottom of the crock pot. I poured almost a whole large &amp;nbsp;bottle of &amp;nbsp;A1 steak sauce over it and covered it with tin foil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I added some whole potatoes in foil and some I cut in half. I was curious if they would get done all the way through. I also added butter to the inside of each foiled potato and corn on the cob. &amp;nbsp; The recipe said to put it on med and I put mine on high. The recipe said 6 hours. The neighbor lady did one and she said &amp;nbsp;her potatoes were not done all the way so I think the extra hour and a half worked well. I also think that if I wanted it done in less time than cutting the potatoes in half would do the trick. Mine ended up taking 7 1/2 hours. The meat was tender and it was yummy. Next time I think I should add a little water to the sauce as it will cook out of it anyways and I don't think it will hurt the flavor. I would have liked it to be a little saucier.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I thought maybe us bloggers could help get this out there. Each one of us has the chance to reach thousands of people through social media that can see her picture and the picture of the man that is wanted for questioning concerning her abduction. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Jessica was Abducted from her place of work on Sternberg Road in Norton Shores Michigan&lt;br /&gt;
From witness testimony the above picture is what the man looks like that took her. Evidence shows that he may have waited outside her work , as if &amp;nbsp;waiting for the best time to take her. There were no cameras at the store she was working at but cameras from neighboring businesses&amp;nbsp;caught his van on their cameras.&lt;br /&gt;
Jessica is a Mommy and her baby boy misses her as do her parents, Fiancé Family and Friends.

&lt;br /&gt;
Menu Plan for the month of January&lt;br /&gt;
My pet peeve is hearing, "whats for dinner" and having to scrounge around to see what were eating at the last minute. In effort to get away from that, I decided to make a whole month worth &amp;nbsp;of menus and shop for it all at once. It worked pretty good this past month. It gives us more time to hang out at night also.&lt;br /&gt;
In an effort to make a menu plan quickly, I decided to go with my husbands wishes and make a certain night of the week for a certain type of food. It was easy that way. Although I get bored with things being that uniform in life, His military side loves it. You can see from the menu this month I did not feel like getting all fancy. I knew we would be busy and I planned accordingly. This sometimes means Hamburger helper but&amp;nbsp;that's&amp;nbsp;okay. You&amp;nbsp;don't&amp;nbsp;have to be a chef. &amp;nbsp;I am busy&amp;nbsp;February&amp;nbsp;too so I am getting ready to make a months worth of menus at once again. I&amp;nbsp;will&amp;nbsp;try to post it. I like to look at menu Ideas to get ideas for what to cook so My mom sent me &amp;nbsp;a few months worth of menu plans that I can find other things on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mondays: Sandwich night&lt;br /&gt;
Tuesdays: Mexican night&lt;br /&gt;
Wednesdays: Misc casseroles, Soups and things like that&lt;br /&gt;
Thursdays: Italian&lt;br /&gt;
Fridays: Whatever didn't fit anywhere else&lt;br /&gt;
Saturday: Depends on the calendar and what we had going on.&lt;br /&gt;
Sunday: Dinners&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol style="text-align: left;"&gt;

Emmy Rossum Sentimental Journey Out on Cd 1/29 /2013&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6HZwbKLHtss/UQc1_QWAETI/AAAAAAAAFkA/N_3b8yWiADQ/s1600/AlbumCover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6HZwbKLHtss/UQc1_QWAETI/AAAAAAAAFkA/N_3b8yWiADQ/s1600/AlbumCover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6HZwbKLHtss/UQc1_QWAETI/AAAAAAAAFkA/N_3b8yWiADQ/s320/AlbumCover.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Something that my husband and I have in common are a love of oldies music.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; We have a collection that I am not sure many people our age would have. I was excited to get a copy of this Cd for review. Before&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp; agreed to review it, I looked Emmy up on Youtube and found this great Video.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;em&gt;In my opinion, She does best at the slower songs on this album but&amp;nbsp; does a good job on all of them.&amp;nbsp;In the first song, she reminded me of Doris Day.&amp;nbsp;No one can sing Pretty paper like Willie Nelson, if your a fan, but don't take that out on her. She did a great Job! &amp;nbsp;It sure does look like she had fun making the videos. She fits the part in the old clothes so well.&amp;nbsp;The background vocals are great and the band did a great job with the music. It takes&amp;nbsp;you back in time even if you have never been there!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;You may already know Emmy&amp;nbsp; from her role in &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319262/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Day After Tomorrow&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293508/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Phantom of the Opera&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; At that time she had just hit 18. She is now all grown up and starring in &amp;nbsp;the &amp;nbsp;Showtime series Shameless with William H. Macy. She also stars alongside Emma Thompson and Viola Davis in the upcoming feature film Beautiful Creatures, which hits theaters on February 13th. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The song tracks are listed here:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Before Christmas, I was given a chance to do a review of this great baby product. As some of you may know everything computerized in my home seemed to die all at once. Maybe I should be doing a review of the 2 Kindle Fires, 3 Toshiba Satellite's and my Samsung Cell phone &amp;nbsp;that died. I will leave those for later and be happy that I now own a new Gateway that I, so far, LOVE! I am finally able to complete this review. Each time I got one of my devices working, I was able to do only one review and post a few items before the device was no longer usable. On to the Review and Giveaway&amp;nbsp; already! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Juppy Momentum is one of the coolest "simple" baby items, I have found in all&amp;nbsp;the &amp;nbsp;years&amp;nbsp; parenting 8 children. When My 2nd child was&amp;nbsp;learning to walk&amp;nbsp;I had one similar to this. She was walking at 7 months. After it ended up in storage I never used it on any of the other children. She did walk earlier than any of the&amp;nbsp;them as they&amp;nbsp;all walked in between 10 - 12 Months old. In comparing the one I had for her&amp;nbsp;with this, I would say that this one is better made. It is made out of a durable canvas and can even be personalized with the babies name. The best part of this is that if you have lower back problems it makes it easy to spend a longer time helping your baby walk as you do not have to bend down to hold their hands. You simply hang on to the straps. It also gives the baby a chance to walk on their own in a sense while still being supported by a parent. You can also find great parenting articles on their web site &lt;br /&gt;

I was recently given the chance to try out Ology Products from&amp;nbsp;Walgreen's. &amp;nbsp;My computer went down and I am finally able to complete the review. It did give me a better chance to try the products before submitting &amp;nbsp;my review. I am glad to have the extra time to form an&amp;nbsp;opinion&amp;nbsp;on the product. I loved all the products I choose. They have quite a few but I choose the laundry detergent, Multi-purpose Cleaner, tissue &amp;nbsp;and the light bulbs. I was given 15 bucks to spend on products in exchange for the review but actually spent more as I wanted to try more of the products. They did have a sale at&amp;nbsp;Walgreen's&amp;nbsp;on them when I bought them as well as points that I earned on my card for buying $20 in products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.walgreens.com/search/results.jsp?topSearch=keyword&amp;amp;N=371981+2000010074&amp;amp;Ntt=ology" rel="nofollow"&gt;Tissue&lt;/a&gt;- The Tissue was thick enough and soft enough. That is really what you look for in a tissue when your sick. The products are made out of bamboo which helps save trees so that is also a plus. Over all it was great tissue and came to great use when the flu came to our house recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.walgreens.com/search/results.jsp?topSearch=keyword&amp;amp;N=371981+2000011023&amp;amp;Ntt=ology" rel="nofollow"&gt;Light Bulbs&lt;/a&gt;- The light bulbs came in a pack of 3 or a pack of one. I wanted the pack of 3 as the sale, made it &amp;nbsp;a much better deal than buying one individually. &amp;nbsp;These are Energy bulbs with the spiral design and were bright enough to see well. The brightness is comparable to that of a "Normal" Light bulb although it is the Energy&amp;nbsp;efficient&amp;nbsp;one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.walgreens.com/search/results.jsp?topSearch=keyword&amp;amp;N=371981&amp;amp;Ntt=ology" rel="nofollow"&gt;Laundry Soap&lt;/a&gt;- The laundry soap was great. I use Tide usually, because I like that it leaves the clothes fresh. I decided that I wanted to try out the ology on blankets that had been soiled to see if they&amp;nbsp;would&amp;nbsp;come out with a fresh scent. I bought the unscented and wondered if the blankets would smell fresh. It worked. They blankets were fresh&amp;nbsp;although&amp;nbsp;they had no smell, they did not&amp;nbsp;have&amp;nbsp;a soiled smell to them. This is important to me. &amp;nbsp;I really dislike having to wash blankets or clothes over again. I need a detergent that will &amp;nbsp;get the smell out after a child has the flu &amp;nbsp;or an accident. I should have also tried the fabric&amp;nbsp;softer&amp;nbsp;that they sell and it may have given the clothes a &amp;nbsp;scent. Being that some people are allergic to perfumes this would be great for them as they seemed to have no scent at all when they came out of the wash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/ology-all-purpose-cleaner-lemon-%26-lavender/ID=prod6154056-product" rel="nofollow"&gt;Multi-Purpose Cleaner Lemon and Lavender Scent&lt;/a&gt;- I loved the smell of this cleaner as it IS natural and &amp;nbsp;SMELLS natural. Although it is a Lemon and lavender scent, I smell some of the other natural scents in it that I love. It is not overwhelming but leaves a fresh clean smell in the house. The price for it being an all Natural cleaner is good. I found it for 3.19 today when I looked and Mine is lasting a while now. Being that&amp;nbsp;Walgreen's&amp;nbsp;has the card you can use when you make purchases and so many deals you could stock up when its on sale and make it really worth it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: x-large;"&gt;Stringing popcorn and cranberries for our Christmas tree has been a tradition my entire life. We have done it to bring the family closer and to save money in decorating. However, when I looked at other people's idea of how to string these garlands, I learned that my family does it a little differently than others. Check out &lt;a href="http://www.identitydiscovery.net/2012/12/25-days-of-christmas-day-20-popcorn-and.html" target="_blank"&gt;my post&lt;/a&gt; on what we do differently and how you too can decorate inexpensively with an old fashioned flair. Also be sure you enter today's giveaway for &lt;a href="http://pargasjunkyard.com/smiley-cookie-review/" target="_blank"&gt;Smiley Cookies (click here for the review)&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/address&gt;

&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;
I am happy to say that most of my kids have quite a few books on their Christmas lists again this year. &amp;nbsp;This one &amp;nbsp;is on Zane's list and I just happened to get a review copy. Now, if I can just keep this review from being seen by him in the meantime. :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hwmvn-3rkrU/UL-hZi7UtXI/AAAAAAAAFZI/TvmXm0qy9zA/s1600/thirdwheel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hwmvn-3rkrU/UL-hZi7UtXI/AAAAAAAAFZI/TvmXm0qy9zA/s320/thirdwheel.jpg" width="215" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
There is something I love about Diary Of A Wimpy Kid more than anything. There are Movies to go with some of the books. I love that the kids and I, can read a book and watch a movie that goes with it afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About this book: I loved it, as I have all the other books. There is not one page without a picture, so it will keep &amp;nbsp;Zane interested. In fact, all the kids love the series. As a Mom, I like the way it is set up as there are just enough pictures to keep them interested and just enough words to make it a book. It still feels like a comic a little. This one &amp;nbsp;Starts &amp;nbsp;in the womb. Listening to his Mom talk while he was in the womb, Growing up with a live in family member and finding a date to the school dance is all part of&amp;nbsp;Gregs&amp;nbsp;life. Will he find a date? &amp;nbsp;And how about Rowley? How who will he go to the dance with? Read it to find out. I think Zane will like that it does&amp;nbsp;not&amp;nbsp;stay on the same subject all through the book.&lt;br /&gt;
You can read below to enter to win one of his books.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jeff Kinney has given me the chance to give one of his books to one lucky winner.&lt;br /&gt;
He’d love to offer one of my readers a Wimpy Kid book of their choice from books one through seven! Thanks,Jeff for taking the time to write this series and give us the chance to help our kids enjoy a love of reading.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: green;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;We all know about Rudolph, Frosty and A Charlie Brown Christmas. How could we forget them? Right! I thought I would share a list of a few movies that our family enjoys, The Christmas Story, Miracle on 34th street, Home alone, Santa Paws, and a little less than family friendly but funny Bad Santa. I love that one. &amp;nbsp; Don't forget to tune in to Hallmark Channel this time of year as you will find a ton of Christmas movies there.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I remember when I was growing up how much homemade gifts meant to my mom. I don't know if you feel the same way, but I can understand where she was coming from. In fact, I know she still feels the same way. A gift made specifically for a loved one is made from the heart. Our children LOVE to make things for us all the time and we accept them with such enthusiasm, because we know they were made out of love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is so easy to go to the store and pick out gifts for those on our list and &amp;nbsp;I realize it takes time to make a gift. &amp;nbsp; But, I hope you will think about helping your children make this special gift for the special people in their lives. We are making these photo frames for both my mom and hubby's parents because I feel they make great gifts for grandparents. I know my mom will love to have the little ones make one of these for her because she still has the frame the older children made for her 11 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;

So many of us run from task to task hurriedly  often forgetting to stop and remember others. A new movement has evolved the last few years here at Parga's Junkyard. One of Random Acts of Kindness! Each day throughout the season we strive to do one thing for someone else. It doesn't have to be big or cost money, just something that in some way helps another person out. A song we all learn as young children says "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine" Let your light shine throughout the Christmas Season with Random Acts of Kindness! Read about more than 30 different Random Act of Kindness Ideas &lt;a href="http://pargasjunkyard.com/let-your-light-shine-random-acts-of-kindness-for-the-christmas-season"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;! and you can enter there to win a prize as well.&lt;br /&gt;
