Simple Moments of my Days....Vlog Style

 

I put my little vlog up on youtube and I am also sharing it here!!

May you find happy, simple and lovely moments of your days.

When things seem to be a little tough to deal with, take a moment and just breath and write things down.  Then crumble up that paper and throw it away.  Don't let negativity take up space in that beautiful head of yours!

Happy Autumn!!!

Coffee and a Post

This morning after I dropped all the kids off at school--I hopped on the freeway and went to my Grandmother's---just in time for some fresh brewed coffee. We had a wonderful morning--she always tells me story's about Grandpa and when I was little and such. She calls Little Kevin, *Bobby's Boy*--I am not sure if you remember, we all refer to her as Bobby because she wears Bobby pins in her hair. I spent the weekend doing every stitch of laundry so I took the morning off today to visit my favorite person. That doesn't mean that NOW I don't have more laundry...LOL..because I do. Last night one of my dearest friends called me, and I had to tell her I had to call her back---Kevin had gotten home late and I had to fix his plate and clean the kitchen---then Little Kevin awoke and I nursed him and then fell asleep myself--so I woke thinking---OH NO--my friend--so I have to call her in a little bit and apologize for not calling her back--I know she had a lot to talk about, because lots of changes has gone on in her life.

Chicken is in the oven baking--a great sale on chicken bre*asts-----yay!!! We also have mashed potatoes, corn, spinach and a fresh green salad. I am cooking all the chicken, so tomorrow I can use the rest in either a casserole, noodles or dumplings---not sure yet. Tomorrow I am definitely staying home and doing some housework and such--plus getting my list ready for a great big grocery trip:) Ohh, I forgot on Friday, Bobby needs to go to a Doctor appointment, so I will be gone some on Friday.

I am charging my camera up--it was low, so I am going to take some updated pictures of Kevin, he is growing so much--and what a sweet personality he has, just like his Daddy!!!! I have been tivoing Martha, so maybe one day this week I will be able to see what great ideas she has. Also, the Duggars new episode is going to be September 21st--I am pretty sure, but I am going to double check just to make sure.

Well, what else.....I am setting up my home in *Fall Motif* I will take pictures and share my fall decorating/cooking/baking etc.

School, Flowers, Sale Ads and Pumpkins

Happy Thursday. Now that my whole family is home, Kevin is back from Georgia and Tony is back from Washington--the days are just flying by. School starts here on September 4th. School starts early so I am going to have to wake up even earlier then I am now which lately is about 6:20.
I will never understand why school has to start so early. Tony's first period supposedly starts at 6:40???? What are they thinking...LOL. My son is very unhappy about this, and when we register him next week we are going to try and get the next class which start at 7:40--that is when he started last year--much kinder for me. I take my kids to school so getting the baby and Alexis in the car at 6:30 is just too much----don't you think so? Okay it sounds like I am complaining, and I need to stop this, because I am so thankful I have my children to take to school and that they are healthy and happy, Thank you Jesus!!!

The picture of the roses above are the flowers Kevin gave me on our Anniversary--so pretty. My Grandmother's daughter (my Aunt) is visiting from Chicago, so they have been so busy, we have not been able to go and visit, which is weird for us, not going for the day at least once a week. Hopefully we can visit soon. As I said in my earlier post it is hot---I was tempted to turn on the air --but by dinner time the breeze from the ocean was cooling off the house so nicely, I just couldn't do it...LOL.





These are the sale ads I got yesterday---I am going to look through them and do some store hopping tomorrow...LOL. Tonight I am making chicken, a whole chicken baked in the oven--I also have some fresh corn on the cob--yummy!!! Last night we ended up having tacos, and I made a double batch of ground beef, so we will have enough for the next taco night, which happens to be my husband's favorite dinner--(Besides Steak and lobster..LOL)

My notebook is out and I am going to start on a new list of things I have to do and want to get done---I think I am also going to make a menu--and go through my cookbooks, like my Mayberry cookbook and find some new recipes---I think I have fallen into a cooking routine, I am making too many of the same things over, so I think we need a little change---and fall is coming, I can not wait to start buying pumpkins...LOL...okay, well I am going to get a cup of coffee ---xoxoxox
