Friday~~~April 17-2015

For Valentine's Day, I asked for a new set of pots and pans...and this what my husband got me :)  I was in such need of new pans...it had been I think over a decade since I had new pans...it was time, and I soooooo love my new pans....and they match my new kitchen....red ;)

Good Morning :)

Do you see what I see?

Oh, I am also on Instagram.....lets be friends...I love looking at everyone's pictures :)  I am MrsJulieann.......I'll be waiting!

Fresh Mulch :)

 Over the weekend we put down fresh mulch.  I think it looks so beautiful.  Kevin bought 30 bags and we probably need about 100 more bags....a lot to fill.  Oh, it will look so nice when it is done :)

 I also hung some hummimgbird feeders....one hummingbird has already claimed this one and is determined to chase the other hummers away :)

It's April!!!

 Happy April!

We have been having a wonderful last couple months.  Easter was very nice, and I hope yours was, too :)

I wanted to share on my Blog, my new refrigerator...I LOVE IT!!!!  When I started researching Refrigerators and saw this one with the middle drawer, I just knew I had to have this one in my life...LOL..It's the little things, I tell ya!

It is supposed to be a rainy, rainy week :)
I have chicken and potatoes in the crockpot, and the kids are back in school after a glorious week home......vacations always go so quick.

Happy Monday!

Oh, one more thing.....Martha Stewart is on HULU....YaY!!!  I have been watching her and loving every episode :)

SNOW DAY!! Tuesday, February 24th 2015, woohoo :)

We just had winter break, a whole week off...and then we woke up to this...a SNOW DAY, woohoo :)  I just love Georgia!
Please, for those that have to be out, be very careful!
Stay warm and safe XO

Living Well!

Happy Friday!

Part of living well, is what I put in my body.  I juice.  I love to juice.  Today I juiced, Kale, Blueberries, carrots, tomatoes, garlic, celery and cucumbers :)

I have the Jack LaLane Power Juicer.
If you have been coming here for awhile, you might remember My husband gave me this Juicer for Valentine's about 5 years ago.
I still love it

Thursday!

Wow, it is Thursday, already!  Time sure sure goes by fast when you are having fun!

Last week my grandbaby girls both had Birthdays, so I made them a Frozen cake, because that is what they like :)  I have to admit, even though I had heard of Frozen, I had no clue who the characters were, so my son told me their names and my daughter printed them out for me :)  Remember, I can no longer do store bought cakes, so every thing must be made by me....yes, the mom who is not the least bit crafty or artistic...LOL....but I am learning...remember the Sonic cake I made, or the Minecraft?

It has been pretty warm these past few days..BUT, tomorrow they are calling for 100% rain, and cold coming through.  I just adore winter, so I was not ready for the warm days...LOL.

For Christmas, my husband got me the iphone 6 and I have to say, it is really great for my eyes :) I also picked out a pretty pink cover, pink is my color..LOVE IT!
Have a great Thursday!

#Elliptical!

This Monday morning after everyone left for work and I finished school drop off...I did 20 minutes on my Elliptical...sometimes I have sooo much energy I have to do extra to release it :)  Happy Monday

Dinner tonight is Nachos with the leftover beef from last night's dinner.

Muffins :)

Along with the breakfast bowls I pre-make on Sunday for my husband to eat before work, I also made a batch of Blueberry Muffins and Chocolate Chip muffins.

I also made my rolls, too!

Happy Cooking!

Stay warm.

It is wet and cold today.

Sunday's Dinner :)

 These potatoes were fingerlings, and I have to say they were the best potatoes ever.  I roasted them with garlic salt :)
400 degree oven for almost 45 minutes :)

Chicken Enchiladas :)

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

So happy it is Friday :)

It was a cold, cold week, and I loved every minute of it.

I made chicken enchiladas, rice and beans tonight for dinner.

I have my linens in the wash, and I am straightening up a bit, so I can wake up Saturday to a nice and neat home.

Have a great evening and stay warm...I am waiting for Dateline to come on...one of my TV guilty pleasures.

Thursday~~~~9 Degrees Today!

 I have a Holiday book, and I have had it for a very long time.  Some of the printables say 2003 :)

It is time to put it away....BUT, it is never far from reach.  It really helps me when planning all the food, and I also, make a list of who came that year, what someone had brought, etc...it is quite the helper for me.

Monday!

 Fresh Strawberries~~~~A staple in this home!

 Also, in Kevin's class they have snack time, and it must be healthy and easy to eat...so I give him these applesauce squeezes and something else like goldfish or a cereal bar.  What I really like about these applesauces is it says no nuts on the packages, an allergies mom favorite thing :)

I am also going to make some muffins and boiled eggs, and we have pancake mix and cereal, too.  I always have fresh fruit on hand for breakfast.  :)  School starts back tomorrow!

Friday...New Day, New Year :)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.  It is cold and rainy and very dark today!  I am "trying" to organize the garage..BUT, I really need 3 more empty boxes, one for keep, donate and trash....so I am at a conundrum at the moment...I am trying to combine boxes to get the the 3 boxes I need...LOL..Did that make sense?

For dinner last night we went to Longhorn's...they cater to the allergy family, so that is very nice, but I am still always on guard, ALWAYS!!!!

For dinner tonight, I will make some pork..with a starch and a veggie and a salad.....not sure what combo I will come up with yet:)

School is back in session on Tuesday.....I will miss my kids when they go back.  My daughter is growing into such a wonderful young lady, and so smart and compassionate.  She really has the voice of reason.

Have a wonderful day and stay safe and warm XO XO

Be Happy!!!!

Coffee!

I am sure we can all agree that we all love Starbuck's...my favorite coffee is the Peppermint Mocha....I have tried others but I always go back :)

With that said, McDonald's regular black coffee is the BEST coffee ever....soooo when I was in Kroger and saw these K-cups I was super happy...they sell the K-cups and the regular ground coffee...so now I can have McDonald's coffee with Peppermint Mocha creamer...life is good :)

The K-cups were 5.99 for the box ;)

Tuesday!!

Good Morning!!!

Happy Tuesday:)

I "think" I have mentioned this a dozen times before, but this is my absolute favorite coffee creamer, it is my guilty pleasure....lol...along with mayonnaise....not Miracle Whip, Mayonnaise :)

......and this is my juice.....I love my juicer.  I am telling you, if you want to stay healthy and lean, JUICE...best thing I ever did :)  My kids love to juice, also!

I hope you are all enjoying the Christmas break, we are.  It goes by so quick!

On the menu for tonight is Chicken :)

I made sure I had every stitch of laundry done before Christmas, and as you know...it always comes back...LOL...so I have some laundry to do along with some bedding.  It is chilly this morning about 45 degrees, but it is warm in the home.

I bought a new calendar to keep organized, it is big...I also need a new planner, mine runs out at the end of this month...nothing extravagant, just a simple day planner is all I need :)

Happy Day!

Monday...December 29th, 2014 :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  Our Christmas was lovely :)
My son asked for a Fedora for Christmas...so a fedora is was he got...LOL.  They sell child's Fedora's at Sears, who knew?

It was so nice having everyone here and I am so happy Tony is back..You know what they say, "Home is where the heart is".  Tony told me that home is where I am.

 Here is a picture of Jesus's birthday cake :)

 Here is our tree in the great room.  I also have a tree in the dining room and on the upper level...I just love the lights.  As you can see Santa came, he was very good to us!

I have some very exciting news coming...it is something my husband and I, especially me have wanted for years...but with his work it was not able to happen.  I will get more into that in another post....and no, I am not pregnant ;)

The kids are home for another week..woohoo!
The weather is wonderful, and I just adore the seasons.  This is the place I want to stay forever!

I am putting away a bunch of things...I will leave the tree and wreaths up a little while longer but everything else is being put away.  I am putting the mounds of tissue paper neatly in another box and putting all the gift boxes in a box, too...for next year.  I can never have enough boxes and tissue paper!

For dinner, I am thinking pork...something different from all the holiday food....with cheesy potatoes...YUM!
...and juicing, yes I am still juicing...it is a very good thing to do...trust me, it keeps you thin and healthy!

Happy Dough!!!

The dough has risen :)

The Day Before :)

Good Morning!
Yesterday, Little Kevin and I went to the store early to get the rest of what we needed for Thanksgiving :)  It was great, Publix was not busy at all.  Have you ever seen a Publix commercial?  They have the best holiday commercials and their stores are so neat and clean, LOVE IT!  I have been shopping there about 3 years now?  I just adore everyone that works there, the nicest people...don't get me wrong, I love my Walmart, too :)

Okay, so today, I am going to start cooking...rolls, lima beans with a bacon crumble, stuffing...etc...it is going to be great.

The weather is mild, I was hoping for snow...I know, I know...I must be the only one...I am such a winter girl!

I will have all my children under one roof this Thanksgiving...for that I am VERY thankfull!!!
My computer is in the kitchen, so I will try and post a little more about what is going on and will take pictures of the food on ThanksGiving to share ....have a wonderful day XO XO
