This was brought on due to one of my many Pinterest "adventures". I saw this for a GIANT SMORES STUFFED COOKIE and I of course had to try it! While reading the comments I saw someone mention doing this as bars so I figured why not try a pie!? CHOCOLATE CHIP PIE STUFFED WITH SMORES 1 package of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 1 cup of Mini Chocolate Chips 1 cup of Marshmallows Graham Crakers *In

It's been a while since I've posted a recipe! At least it feels like it. I've been addicted to broccoli and cheese for a while now. I picked up some asparagus the last time I was at the store to get try some other things. Well .. once I got home I was clueless as how I could spruce it up. So I turned to Pinterest, obviously, and saw something similar to this. I also saw something last

Back on the 20th of May, I decided to take the kids to the boardwalk. We didn't stay long because of the heat, BUT what we did squeeze in was a blast! The view from the parking garage! We've been coming here for over 10 years .. I just love the look of all the rides! One of these days we'll remember to bring change to actually LOOK out those things! The WATER!!

This past Friday I was able to go and join in on the fun of the end of school year activities. I have never really been able to do these things in the past due to work or things of the such. The kids are finishing up 2nd grade and this year they had a day packed of all kinds of fun. First was a book signing! All of the children in the 2nd grade became published writers. They were able to write a

I figured with my birthday next week, we'd take a look back at my 1st! ;)

So the question was put out there by Mama Kat's Writing Workshop .. "Name something you swore you'd never do when you had kids, but now find yourself doing." Here's a few things. 1. I always swore that two was the max. Well we all know how THAT one turned out. 2. I would never dress my kids the same. But they just looked so cute! 3. I would not let my boys play with dolls. I guess there

When I first saw this over at my go to site for authentic Mexican food (La Cocina De Leslie) I couldn't believe it was that simple. And it is!! I love how it is just throwing everything in the pot and within an hour and a half, it's done! What is it you ask!? CHICKEN SOUP!! This is definitely something to have on a cold winter's day .. or in my house, just a regular day in April. The last time I

I remember, when I was a kid, a family friend taking us to go and pick strawberries. I don't remember it very well, but definitely have the faint memory of us bending over a bush and picking. A week or so ago while on Facebook, I saw a friend's pictures of her family at a local fruits and vegetable farm. After I saw this, I was determined to go. Yesterday, I woke up early in excitement to go.

I can't believe in one month, it'll be a year that we moved into our place. Our OWN place. I tell you though, it was some work. Many weeks of cleaning up and getting things ready to move in. Signing contracts and watching our money fly out the window with things like home refinance rates, homeowners insurance, deposits .. WOW! Never even thought of all of that when it came down to it all. But I

I'm not real big into nature and all that jazz. I only say this because when you're from Houston it goes from "winter" straight to summer and so we don't get the chance to experience spring. Going outside to enjoy ANYTHING is impossible without having a heat stroke or getting bit by mosquitoes. Well today, I decided to do a little something special for Earth Day. My kids have been counting down

THE PROMPT Start with the phrase "Ten years ago on this day, I was..." Believe it or not, ten years ago today, I was a senior in high school. Back when things seemed so much easier. This was the only year I took choir, I was a P.A.L (peer assistance & leadership - at least I think that's what it stood for), very active in my church youth group and had a slight obsession with a group called the

Everyone gets excited when we turn over yet another year. So I guess, because I had "it's just another day" mentality thing going on, 2012 decided to just bite me in the butt for not getting all hyped up for its arrival. But then it seems to feel bad for what it has done and return it with some good! So far 2012 has been a roller coaster! Let's take a look, shall we? THE BAD: My PC decides to

Over the summer, here in Houston, we were breaking records of consecutive days in the triple digits. Along with the insane temperatures we also were in the middle of a drought. A given right? Well finally MONTHS later, we're starting to see strange things falling from the sky on a regular basis. Oh wait! That's RAIN!! It rained a good portion of Christmas weekend and we've seen off and on

Back in October I entered a giveaway that ASHLEY P. & ASHLEY B. came together and offered. It was for a Doodle Speaker and custom design by Ashley B. I was very surprised to find out that I won. I NEVER win ANYTHING! Over in the shop, Ashley had many to choose from and all were so cute, I couldn't just choose one. But sadly, I had to. You could choose designs with your initials, your name, and

With the year coming to an end and January right around the corner it gets a little rough for those in my family. One Christmas Eve, my grandfather was not himself. My mother ended up calling the ambulance and they took him to a nearby hospital. After several tests, we found out he was in the 4th stage of prostate cancer. He stayed in the hospital and soon was transferred to a nursing home.

The most easiest, creative way to cook cinnamon rolls?! SNAGGED FROM PINTEREST In the WAFFLE IRON! I saw this on pinterest and gave the computer screen the "are you joking me?" look. I tried this out two days ago. I am not even kidding you, that was the fastest I've ever seen ANY cinnamon roll cooked. LOVE it. My kids loved the fact they got a waffle that was a cinnamon roll. And I'm serious!

Recipe @ heatovento350 PIC SNAGGED FROM PINTEREST Have I said how much my husband loves soups? When I first saw this, the beans caught my eye at first. Then the avocado and from there I knew I had to make this. The only things I did to this was I didn't mince the onions and jalapenos .. For one my chopper's broke (*tear*) and second I knew he'd like the chunkiness. Also, I just cooked this on

I love everything about the holidays. The lights, the music ... the FOOD! :) I especially love all of the movies and commercials that come out around this time of year. When I first saw this video, I seriously watched it about 4 times. I love the colors and the winter-y feel it gives. And for days after I seriously had been singing the song in my head (even in the shower!). I couldn't get over

As I said before, I wanted to make it a goal to try - if not all - most of the recipes I found on Pinterest. The recipes on there look so yummy and they make it look so easy. I started my mission before Thanksgiving with one recipe. Pumpkin Dump Cake I love me some dump cake and pumpkin .. well bring it on!

So the beginning of the month I go out and buy my months worth of food. Although I would looove to be one of those people who can use coupons to get $1000 worth of food for like $100, I sadly am not. I do know that the price of food had to have gone up because my monthly "allowance" of food of 450 has gotten me NOTHING! I usually get the store brand/off brand vs the Nabisco, Pillsbury, etc. name

So, on the school calendar it shows that the 14th of November is early online registration for Spring semester. I have been gearing up these past couple of weeks for this day. Sounds silly, but I was scared I would oversleep or forget and I seriously had in my mind registering for classes was like buying concert tickets. I didn't want to get that "SOLD OUT" message within the first five minutes
