A Few Random Things...
First of all, I must let you know that it is COLD here!! I'm talking bone-chilling, bitter cold. We're currently under a "Wind Chill Advisory" and temps are dropping to dangerous levels. My heart goes out to those who do not have adequate heating. It's just too cold.
Last Friday, my dear friend Bre had a precious baby boy! His name is Preston and he weighed in at a healthy 8 lb, 10 oz. I went to visit soon after he was born and just held him for a long time. I didn't take a picture because it was a really special, private time but when he gets a little older, I'll be posting some pics! His big brother Parker is a great pal and comes over for playdates often. We love them!
I want to thank Emily @ The Johnson Five and Shannon @ Growing up Imel for awarding me with the Stylish blogger award! Go check out their blogs...they both are pretty mamas with adorable little boys. And they are friends in real life. And they have a cooking blog. So much to love! Run on over!
When the weather gets cold, I crave warm comfort food. Since we had chili and cornbread last night, I decided Mexican food was the way to go. We had creamy chicken enchiladas and they were delicious! Here is a link for the recipe if you want to try them. It comes directly from the label on the Old El Paso green chile enchilada sauce. Seriously! Someone copied it and has it posted at previous link. Since I'm watching what I eat, I tried to make them as low-fat as possible and watched my portions. Goodness!

Another Blog Award! :)
I am happy to say that I just received another blog award! Kalina @ Te Amo Mucho gave me this one, so I want to take a minute to thank her. If you haven't already, be sure and check out her blog. She's a super sweet, smart young lady who is going to school to become a wedding planner. How cool is that? She posts about all kinds of fun things so there is something for everyone on her blog. Run over and check her out!
Kalina, thank you so much for my award!
Kalina, thank you so much for my award!
The Rules:
1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you
2. Answer 10 questions
3. Pass it along to 7 blogs you've recently discovered and enjoyed
4. Leave your recipients a comment to let them know about the award
On to the questions...
1. Why did you create this blog?
I started this blog simply to document our little family's life. I love to scrapbook but have gotten busy and behind in my scrapping so this seemed like a good way to post pictures and notes about my kids and our daily lives. I never expected anyone but my mom to read my blog!
2. What kind of blogs do you follow?
I follow a wide variety of blogs! I especially love craft, food, and mommy blogs. I've made a lot of bloggy friends by doing blog challenges. I never expected to do blog challenges but have found out they are a great way to inspire others and find inspiration!
3. Favorite Make-up Brand?
Oh, it would be too hard to pick just one! I use everything from Cover Girl to Christian Dior to Clinique. Almay has one of my favorite concealers and foundation.
4. Favorite Clothing Brand?
I'm not obsessed about labels, so I'll wear anything that fits! Kohl's is one of my favorite stores to shop at.
5. Indispensable Make-up Product?
Concealer, without a doubt! I would look like a zombie without.
6. Favorite Color?
Purple. I love all shades of it, from lavender to amethyst.
7. Favorite Perfume?
Happy by Clinique
8. Favorite Film?
Another hard one...probably The Wizard of Oz.
9. What country would you like to visit and why?
I would love to go to New Zealand because it looks stunningly beautiful. So many great beaches! I would also love to visit Norway to view the Northern Lights.
10. Would you rather forget to put mascara on one eye or forget to put blush on one side of your face?
I look weird without mascara, so I would rather forget the blush!
And now to award a few blogs...
Kari (Klove) @ Love, Luci
Karen @ 14 Fir Street
Kristy @ Darn Near Domestic
I'm only naming a few (and apparently their names all begin with a K!) since I just awarded some other favorites not too ago.
Enjoy the blog award ladies and thanks again Kalina!

Award Ceremony
When I got on the computer tonight to do some blogging, I found out that Sarah @ ButterflyChic awarded me with the Stylish Blogger Award. What a wonderful surprise! Thank you so much, Sarah!! I've only been blogging for a couple of months, so it means a lot to me that you have taken the time to read my blog and give me this award! Thank you again! (If you haven't already, go check out Sarah's blog because she ROCKS!! )
The Rules:
*Thank the person who gave you the award :)...
*Tell 7 facts about me...
*Give the award to 7 great bloggers
*Leave a comment to let bloggers know I am giving them the award
Here we go....
7 Facts About Me
1. I have been with my husband for 11 1/2 years...married 9 of those! We have 2 beautiful children:
Abigail, 6 and Wyatt, 2.
2. I refuse to eat raw cookie dough or cake batter. I know, I know, everyone loves it but I am too
scared that I will get salmonella. I even deny my kids the opportunity to lick the beaters for
said reason.
3. I got bit by a rattlesnake when I was 3 years old. Not fun stuff, people. I will always hate snakes!
4. One of my favorite movies is Urban Cowboy. Don't judge me.
5. My favorite flowers are Stargazer Lilies. Oh, I love them! They are so fragrant.
6. After being a stay-at-home mommy for the past 6 years, I'm about to begin a new career as an
elementary teacher. But being a mommy will always be my most important job.
7. My biggest pet peeve is people going out in public with barefeet. There is absolutely nothing more
gross to me than shopping for groceries and having to see some stranger's dirty feet!
Here are the wonderful bloggers I am giving this award to:
Susanne @ a simple life
Rachel @ An Extraordinary Simple Life
Kathleen @ Simple Silly Life
Summer @ Summer's Story
Molly @ The Fuschia News
Jamie @ this kind of love
Mag @ Craft with Me
