Rough Week

I know that I said I would be back with a post to finish my vacation, but honestly I've been sidetracked.  Maybe I'll get around to posting it tomorrow.  I've been lazy this week.  Honestly, I haven't been sleeping much.  The kids have been sick and I, like any mother I'm sure, can't sleep well when my little ones aren't doing well.  We moved downstairs recently to be closer to the kids without them in our room, but when one is sick we decided we'd let them all sleep in our bedroom anyway.  It makes it easier on them and us.  Rylie hasn't been sleeping either.  I got maybe 2 or 3 hours last night between all the times Rylie was up.  I'm not here to complain, just stating where I've been, and the reason for my lack of posting.

Also, Sydney has had dance camp every night this week about 20-30 minutes away from the house.  It's been quite interesting and Sydney LOVES it!  She looks so cute in her leotard and tights.  Her dance shoes will be in, in about 2 weeks. We bought her a dance bag and extra leotards and tights.






As I sit here now, Rylie is asleep in her playpen and Shawn is reading to the kids in their beds.  I'm watching Prisoners' Wives on the TV and thinking about going to bed.  I'm just so tired I'm not even sure I can make it to my bed.  Every bone and muscle in my body aches.

Hope you're getting some rest though, remember to take care of yourself.

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil.
