Happy Birthday Scotland!

Ok, so it wouldn't be me, if this weren't late....

Three years ago, I gave birth to sweet little Scottie.








Since little Scottie has turned 3, I'm going to post a bunch of fun stuff about her, and then pictures from her 3 years of life, including tons from the last year.



  • Her full name is Scotland Paige Tiemann.
  • We named her Scotland after my dad, who was Scott. Paige was just a name we liked that was feminine and more "normal" incase she grew up hating her first name.
  • We kept her name secret from everyone but close family until she was born because we didn't want anyone to tell us they didn't like it or try to get us to change it.
  • Her birthday is April 16, 2014.
  • She is the 4th child out of 4.
  • She looks up to her big sisters and does everything they do.
  • She is so funny! She makes me laugh everyday.
  • She doesn't typically like new people, or even not new people that she doesn't see very often.
  • She loves playing with her Paw Patrol toys and generally drags them with us, everywhere we go.
  • She is ornery as all get out.
  • Every single day, she tells me "Mommy, you my best friend, and Daddy my best friend, and Ben my best friend, and Ni-nee (Sydney) my best friend, and Lylie (Rylie) my best friend. You all my best friend."
  • She is so cuddly and loves hugs and kisses.
  • She falls asleep with me every night, on my arm, and then I move her to her bed.
  • She loves playing outside, drawing with chalk, or out at the playground.
  • Her favorite color is pink.
  • Her favorite food is pizza.
  • Her favorite TV shows are Paw Patrol, Octonauts, Peppa Pig, Ben and Holly, and the Teletubbies.
  • She is in trouble a lot for fighting with her sisters. I'm sure that comes with the age or being the youngest. We are constantly working on using her words and not her fists.
  • She has her own sense of style with sometimes includes a single glove.  
  • She likes to stick her tongue out and make goofy noises just to make people laugh.

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.
