What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I'm working on a birthday banner currently and also organizing old family photos into photo albums. I also need to get back into my crochet.

Looking forward to:::
Easter this weekend and Scottie's birthday tomorrow. I can't believe my baby is turning 5!

Looking around the house:::
It's a quarter to 9 and Scottie is opening up all of her presents she got at her party yesterday. The trash pile on my kitchen counter is growing by the minute. The big kids are at school and the house could use some picking up from the kids messes all weekend. Shawn's working upstairs and says he may wrap some presents while listening to his work training.

From the camera:::
Right before Scottie's birthday party yesterday. They big kids and Shawn had run down the street to do the very last of her birthday shopping, so we sat in the car right outside the party place and waited for them to help us carry the cake and cooler inside. She was so excited. It was her first big party with friends and we invited her whole preschool class as well as a few kiddos we're friends with outside of that.



What I'm wearing today:::
At the moment, jeans and a black v neck tshirt. I'm sure in a bit I'll change into shorts.     

One of my simple pleasures:::
Nice hot coffee on a chilly morning.

Bible verse, Devotional, prayers::: 
Praying for good news back on a friend's test results. 
Also praying for an easy dentist trip with Ben. He's getting a cavity filled and his last 2 baby teeth pulled since they aren't coming out at all and his adult teeth are crowding. He's nervous, so praying for his calming too.

I hope Scottie has a fantastic birthday, it's crazy that she is 5 years old, what in the world, I remember you pregnant with her.

I hope you have a super fantastic week my friend, and yes, I got my mammogram results back yesterday and everything is normal :)

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. Once hot and melted together add the onions and celery. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. 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
