{Happy Resurrection Day}

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month.  Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now!  Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said!  I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style.  The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters.  Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

WEDNESDAY IN THE WORD

Am I the only person that lives by a calendar and a to-do list? I have a calendar on my personal computer, a calendar with a place to list my to-do's at the office, a hard back calendar that I carry with me daily, a calendar on my refrigerator and sticky notes everywhere! Whoever invented sticky notes is one RICH person... I have to have a calendar to keep up with things such as Doctor appointments (which seem to be more than less these days), dentist appointments, hair appointments (which I don't forget) Ha! Meetings and events to attend and well, you know the list. Your lists and appointments may be different than mine but you have them all the same. We live in a fast pace society that if we don't have a calendar and some sticky notes we are in trouble! Or at least I am! I find myself getting up in the middle of the night to make a note about something in fear that I will forget it! Now that may be a problem of another kind huh?  Now here is the deal....As I c

Tuesday Toots

Well it is time again to share a little Tuesday Toots....I want to share a baby shower with you today. My niece Hannah had a lovely shower and the decorations was the most absolute cutest I have seen in a while for a baby shower.  First meet my niece Hannah...due the end of May and having a little girl. Her name will be Charlotte Paris...I love that name! The cake was so cute...I thought at first the little shoes on the top was actually edible but they weren't. However, had a place on the bottom of the shoes to record the baby's date of birth, name and weight. Just adorable... The decor was really a "thrifty" thing to do. They served two purposes. Decoration and then for the baby to keep! How simple...baby blanket, diapers, ribbon and tulle!  The little diaper cakes was so cute! Material, diapers, ribbon, shredded paper and flower! This was so adorable too! Diapers wrapped up with material & ribbon and topped with flowers. Two cute little

Chicken & Taters!

JOINING YVONNE AT STONE GABLE FOR "ON THE MENU MONDAY"...OVER @ http://stonegable.blogspot.com/2012/03/weekly-menu_25.html  I have a recipe to share with you today! I hope you enjoy it!  I can tell you now that while it is cooking, you will drool over the smell!  Chicken and Potato Roast Whole Chicken-get all the giblets out and wash good! Lift the skin up with a knife and dab butter under the skin the best you can. This helps to keep it moist. Next, drag out the spices. I love spices!!!!! Take EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and coat the chicken. Next sprinkle your spices. I used Lemon pepper, Natures Seasoning ( I use for everything) , Pampered Chef Crush Peppercorn and Garlic Rub (I love) and Lowery's Seasoning Salt (A must have in your kitchen). Then chop your potatoes up. I usually use the small red potatoes but all I had was the yellow. I like cooking potatoes with the peelings on if possible so I wash the potatoes and cut off any bad spots and then I
