New recipe I tried, or want to try this week::::
I'm finally going to make Sandra's Banana Jam.  I'm hoping to do that today.

In the garden::::
My strawberries are growing like crazy.  That's all the fruit or veggies we have this year.  The house we moved into seems to have some Irises and Lilies planted outside as well as an amazing amount of mint. It smells so good.

Favorite photo from the camera::::


Homemaking Tip::::
Before you start prepping for cooking a meal, fill the kitchen sink halfway with soapy hot water, and put all of your dirty measuring cups, mixing bowls, etc in the water as you use them.  It shortens the clean up time by a lot which is my least favorite part of cooking.

Visiting with Blog friends (blog you want to share, blog post that caught your eye)::::
I don't have one this week.  I just haven't had a lot of time for blog reading lately but I'm hoping to jump right in today.

Praying for::::
Right now just praying for friends and family.

Bible Verse, Devotional that is resonating with me at the moment::::
Be strong and courageous.  Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you.  He will not leave you or forsake you. ~ Deuteronomy 31:6

Your weather sounds good. We supposed to get up to 106 today, Lord help me. LOL Might as well go on back to Arizona.

Hope you have an awesome day, and let me know if you try the jam and how you like it :)

I am so sad I didn't get to plant strawberry plants this year. I am going to plant them next year no matter what!

I've heard that Kidnapped for Christ was pretty good but haven't gotten the chance to stop and watch it.

Hope you have a great week.

Haha, cooking is my least favourite part of...cooking! But you are right, filling a bowl with water and washing as you go does make the whole thing a lot easier. x

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

By
Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
