As I look outside my window:::
The sun is shining but everything is covered in snow.  I need the spring to come!

Sitting on the couch, and just finished lunch.  I have no energy and I need a nap, but it won't get to happen.

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I'm working on my crochet mood blanket. I think due to size, I'm going to end up doing 3 of them.

My simple pleasure:::
Lately, as silly as it is, it's just having laundry all caught up.  With so many people in this house, there always seems to be laundry in the hamper, but when I grab the last of the clothes out of that hamper and put them in the washer, it's wonderful.  Then to move it all over to the dryer and have nothing to put in the washer is just perfection.  This new washer and dryer has changed my life.

Lesson learned the past week::: 
If you are stressing about something getting done, just do it!  Don't wait for help or everything to fall in to place.  Just make it happen.

Looking around the house:::
Rylie is sleeping soundly on the love seat, Sydney is rearranging Rylie's stuffed animals on the chair and watching Teen Beach Movie, again.  The house is mostly ok, just some random cleaning and two baskets of laundry to fold.  There is also two boxes that were just delivered by UPS from Amazon of baby stuff for me to put together, sitting just inside the door.

From the camera:::




Prayer List:::
My husband while he travels this week.

Bible verse, Devotional:::Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. ~ John 14:27

Potato Soup

By
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.

Add the potatoes and minced garlic to the pot and continue to sauté all of the ingredients for about 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock and increase th
