Homemade Meatloaf..

Tonight I made meatloaf.. Yumm one of my families favorite, but I don't cook it often for some reason.. 

So I am here to tell you just how I cook my meatloaf.. 

What you will need: 

2 pounds of hamburger 

2 eggs

Meatloaf Seasoning Pack

Crackers 

Ketchup 

Directions: 

In a large bowel mix all the ingredients together, using your hands so That you get it mixed all good in there.. 

Place mixture in your baking dish and smooth out.. Cover with Ketchup.. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees then cook meatlof for 1 hour.. 

Homemade Tacos

I'm back... This time I cooked Homemade Tacos for our little family, it's one of our FAVORITE meals!!! We love taco night at home, even the kids love it because they get to enjoy making their own however they like it... 

So let's get started on how to make them.. 

Ingredients: 

1 lbs Hamburger 

1 package of Taco seasoning (what ever type you like original, mild, medium, hot) we use mild because of the children. 

2 Packs Taco Shells (We use those new soft bowels they have became our favorite) 

Lettuce 

Tomatoes 

Cucumbers 

Can of Corn 

Shredded Cheese 

Taco sauce (We use the Tacobell sauce that you buy in a bottle at the store) 

Directions: 

Brown your hamburger drain, and add in the taco seasoning with 3/4 cup of water. Let it start boiling and then simmer for 5 mins.

Chop up your tomatoes and cucumbers how ever you like then cut. 

I use really pretty glass bowels to add all our topping in its own bowel and place in the center of our table.. 

My husband likes our shells heated for 10 seconds too, so they don't fall apart.. 

Then you have everything placed on the table and enjoy building your tacos as a family.. 

I know cucumbers and corn sound weird on tacos but it's really good, if your up for trying something new this would be it.. Sometimes we also use Doritos on our tacos too.. 

Thank You for stopping by I hope you enjoy and I'll be back again with something new soon!! :-)

Making Tea!

Today I want to talk about making tea! :-) 

Does your family love drinking sweet tea, iced tea whatever tea it would be? Well my family does and we drink a whole lot of it too! 

So that leaves me making tea almost everyday, if not everyday then every other day. 

I make my tea by boiling my water and tea bags on the stove and then making it in my pitcher with sugar.. I don't have a fantasy tea maker, I used to but it broke and so I just haven't gotten another one! 

But when I make my tea I have this problem that I ALWAYS ALWAYS bust the tea bags. Then my tea is left with tea leafs floating all in it, and we have to drink them also. 

My family doesn't like when that happens so today when I made tea, I really tired not to bust the bags. BUT.... That didn't work and they still busted.. Lol.. 

So not wanting to leave the leafs floating around, I thought of this thing I saw my babysitter doing when I grew up and I gave it a try... 

She used to rubber band paper towels over her tea pitcher and pour the tea through it to catch the leaves. 

So I tired that my own way, I took this really thin kitchen towel I had just pulled out of the clean towels and rubber banes it over the pitchers. Then slowly I started to pour the tea on to the towel and it slowly went into the pitcher leaving the leafs on the towel.. 

This is a slow process, because if you go too fast you'll spill most your tea down the sink because it runs through slowly! So take your time!! 

When you are almost finished and your new pitcher is filled with tea and it's touching the towels you'll have to pull it tight to let the tea go through it and not stay a little puddle.. 

But once your done with it the towel will be filled with the tea leaves and your tea will have none, just rinse the towel with water and throw it in the laundry to be washed!! 

I know some are probably thinking it's easier not to busted the tea bags, well yes I know but I am the worst for it so this is how I fix the problem!!! 

Have a good day please comment if you tired and liked this idea or if you know something you would like me to try and see how it works out...

My homemade Chicken Pie

So this blog here, is my personal blog. I usually post whenever I can find something to write about. But now I think I am going to take a little different route with blogging, I think I am going to write when I cook of craft something I think people will like. Although I know not everyone will like it or even try it, it will give me something to do and maybe someone will enjoy it... :-) 

So up first here is my homemade chicken pie. I'm not sure how many ways you can make chicken pie but this is my way and in my home it's homemade by me so that's what I am naming it... :-) 

What you will need: 

Chicken Breast (I used 3 pcs) boneless, skinless breast. 

**Note** you can use whatever type of chicken you want bone in or out butbs don't like picking off the bones. 

1 large Can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup 

1 Large can of Cream of mushroom soup. 

**Note** If you don't like mushrooms don't stress, you can't taste the mushrooms my husband doesn't eat them either but he loves this Pie!! 

1 Large can of mixed vegetables 

Bisquick mix 

Step 1: Wash the chicken, and place it into your pot, add water then place on stove top and turn on high or medium high to boil. Let the chicken boil about 30 mins or until it's turned all white. 

Step 2: After your chicken is cooked and while it's cooling down. Opening up your can goods, place them in either a pot to hear or dump right into your glass dish. Mix together with a spoon.

Step 3: After the chicken is cool and your able to handle it use your knife or two forks and cut it up into sizes you'll like to be inside in pie. Dump into the mixture your have and mix together good. 

Step 4: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 

Step 5: Perpare your bisquick, or crust glad using. 

Step 6: Pour your bisquick over the pie and smooth out with a spoon. 

Step 7: Place in your preheated oven and bake on 350 degrees for 45 mins to 1 hour or until your crust is golden brown. 

**Note** You might want to broil your pie for a few moments but keel a really close eye so you don't burn it..** 

Yields: About 10 servings 

This is how I cook my pie at home for my family, I hope that you enjoy and give it a try. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to place those in the comments below.. I will be back soon with another blog update with someone else you might enjoy.. 

Crocheting in 2015

Well I had this amazing thought, I would crochet a different colored square everyday in 2015 and then by the end of the year I would see them all together and make this wonderful blanket... 

Well as you all might have guessed this is day number 4 of 2015 and I have half of the first square done!! :-( 

I really need to get with it, there is so much I want to make, but I never just do it.. I have a blanket I am working on now which is Washington Redskin colors, I am needing to make my son a blanket, I have the yarn just don't know what I want to do with it.. 

My husband wants a blanket.. Then it will be Christmas again before we know it and I wanted to make my gifts this year for dirty Santa and not buy them.. 

Man I have a lot to do and I need to get started... I am hoping to do so here in the next little bit.. Get that kick in the tail and get this stuff made up!!! :-) 

Oh plus on top of all that I really need to clean, organize, and remodel our home!! So glad there is 365 days in a year so maybe I can get something done!!

Goodbye 2014 Hello 2015

Wow!! It's a brand new year.. Which means one book closes and a new one is opened up, you have 365 days to write your book, so make it better this year then what it was last year.. 

Last year for me was pretty amazing... We started 2014 out living in California and then moved back to North Carolina to finish out the year.. 

Braxton went through a lot with medical and going back and forth to doctors, as well as two surgeries. But seems to be doing so much better since both of those surgeries. 

DannieLynn has grown so MUCH! She is so smart, talking to her is like talking to an adult... She also started school this year and loves it so much!! Her teacher is amazing and so far it's been a great school year... 

But heading into 2015, I think about my book this year and what I want to write, and my hopes for this year is to Become closer to The Lord. Be the best mommy to my babies, be a better wife to my husband.. 

Also I am hoping to get better about getting organized and keeping on top of my house duties as a mother and wife. As well as I am praying we can do a whole bunch of remodels that we have been talking about on our home.. 

I am praying for good health over my family this year and myself. 

I always say I am going to drink only water and loose weight but hey that never happens at all.. I am the worst at keeping up with those things! 

Also in this year, I am wanting to spend a lot more time with my kids, blog, crochet, and also I am wanting to start a new fictional blog or something for fun. 

But we will see, I always feel I can't write or I feel like I just say blah blah and people are like why do I read this mess but I am hoping to become better and be amazing to where people will want to read it.. 

Also for this year, I really feel like I need to figure out and finish my high school, I just have this feeling and have had it for a while I really want to finish schooling, and I want to do it before my kids finish school lol.... 

So here is to 2015, I hope and pray you all have an amazing year as well!!! 

Happy NEW YEARS 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I am just NOT Ready....

Oh my five years have already passed and it's time for Kindergarten for our big girl DannieLynn.. I keep telling my self in my mind, I am just not ready for this but I know I have to be.. I can't stop her from growing up and that would NEVER be anything I would want to do anyways.. I am so blessed to see her growing up and being her Mommy.. I wouldn't change anything about our big girl.. I am so very much proud of her and it's so amazing all the things she has learned so far in her life and I know a lot more is to come.. I hope and pray that she will love school, and that she will be ready to learn all that she can in school..

But back to the title here, why I feel like I am not ready... Well that's a lot to do with little things I keep battling with my self..

I keep thinking, what if she gets lost and won't talk to the teachers so they can help her get back to her class or know her name...

What if she doesn't tell the teacher she needs to potty and uses the bathroom on her self..

what if she doesn't talk and tell the ladies what she wants for lunch..

what is she chokes on something and the teacher isn't paying attention..

That is some of my WHAT IF's and I know it's CRAZY right... This is what my mind keeps going back and forth with but I know she will be ok and I know that it's all in my mind..

After meeting her teacher today and seeing how well DannieLynn acted with her and around her, it makes me feel a lot better and I feel like she will be ok and know to talk to her teacher and let her know if she is needing something.. She was relaxed and willing to do what the teacher asked of her today and it was pretty amazing to see..

SO after today, I finally think my mind and everything is more prepared for this school year and I can't wait to hear all about her first day of school and how excited she will get talking about all that happens everyday!! I can't wait until she brings home cool little things she made in class and all they'll do in this 2014 School year!!

I am going to TRY my best to take a photo of her EVERY day before school and also make her a book with each year of school with all her things she brings home and everything..

I am kind of excited to have a child in school now although it will take some time getting used too..


Love you guys thanks for reading... I'll be back soon to post more!!

Little bit about life..

So I haven't wrote in a while, I haven't had much to say but I am going to try and try to write more and all that good stuff. I am going to look for something to write about and try to make some good use out of this blogging and hopefully I can get a lot more readers and all that other nice stuff too.  I have started on my own little Fictional Blog but I haven't gotten it all down enough to post it yet and I haven't worked on it too much here lately because I have been busy with a lot of other things that have been going on. But I am here today and going to write a little bit, Starting with my son and some things that he has been doing here lately..


Man I don't know but I feel like I am going a little crazy here.. My son which is Two and a half years old will NOT potty train, we have tired and tired with him and he just won't do it. I mean he will take off his diaper outside and pee on the ground or he will take off the diaper and he will pee on the floor but he won't go in his potty and it's crazy. Every time he gets in the bath tub he will pee and then when it comes to his pooping he will take off the diaper and poop on the ground on the floor in the tub anywhere but in his potty. Sometimes he will go in the potty but it will not finish in the potty. I love him to death but I am getting tired of cleaning poop up out of the floor lol. and it's gross I don't know what else to do about it.. He won't use the bathroom in one spot he moves around like a new little puppy and it just doesn't make any sense to me I have never heard of any other child doing this or seeing any child doing this my daughter didn't even do this. He also won't sit down to poop he has to squat down way down where his bottom is almost touching the floor. to me it's odd maybe I need to talk with his doctor and see what she thinks but I have no clue for now. I just have to deal with it and make sure he is using it in the bathroom floor so I can properly clean it up after he is all done.

Besides all this we have taken all our stuff out of the buildings here and are going through it all and boxing it up in better boxes. We have been pulling out some stuff that needs to be put into our Yard Sale and everything like that too, I even went through the bedroom with both kids things and ours and pulled out a lot to get it ready for the yard sale. I really don't want to sale my crib and toddler bed but I believe I am going to let it go and when I have another baby I will just buy more, and when we get into our own place I will get the kids a new bed they like and everything else. When we do move into our own home we will be starting all over again and that's so exciting to me, some people don't like it but I love it. I like a fresh new start sometimes and this is the time I like it. Also this time when we go into our own home I will be so glad and thankful and do whatever I can to stay there, I don't want to move anymore I want a forever home. I mean I will be renting a place so I want to stay there for years until I am able to buy my own home and then moving will be ok with us. But we have lived in too many places for our Five year old and she is going into school so it's time to settle and be done with moving and get her somewhere she loves so much!

I really hope and wish that when we do go into a home this next time it might be a renting with option to buy that way we can stay there for a really long time and then buy the place that would be super cool I would love that. I am so darn picky tho on where I want the kids going into school so I have to get a place where I want them in school and soon because I don't want to be moving them or us whenever they start into school. My mother never moved me so I don't want to move them.

DannieLynn is growing up so big, she is becoming a smart little girl. That for now has a little bit of a smart mouth lol, I love her to death but some of the things that come out that child's mouth blow my mind. But heck what can I honestly say she learned from the best "Her Momma" I was a smart mouth girl and I can still be sometimes when I need to be but I have chilled out a whole lot more now that I am a mother then what I was before having kids.. I can't wait to see how she actually acts in school and what the teacher will have to say about her lol.. I love her she might be a good kid and not talk much but if she has changed from her daycare days man I have it coming to me..

Everyone knows about Braxton's little issue with his testicle area and having to go into the ER for that, well it's still not fixed or anything and here we have no insurance on him to have another look on it or anything but I have to get it taken care of ASAP and I will get that done. But also on top of that issue we have going on with him, the other day we sat down to have some lunch and he ate a soft shell taco from taco bell, Drank some Mountain Dew Code Red and then had some Wild Cherry Lifesavers and something with the mix broke him out pretty good so I had to get him some Benadryl  and call up his doctor to see how much of it to give him since it was his sister Benadryl and it said not to give it to his age and all I had to call and get an approval on that one.. I am guess we will have to go through the testing with him also with this allergy mess and all that stuff.. I hated that with DannieLynn and I know I will hate it with Braxton too but I rather know what not to give him then to give it to him again and something worse happen to him.

So here is a little look into what has been happening here lately for us and all that other good stuff I am hoping to start writing a lot more and getting my readers and all up and hopefully I will get that blog up and going too I just feel I want to get so far ahead before I start posting it so my readers won't get all mad if I don't have a post or anything like that I want to make sure I have enough to post so many days a week and then too keep on writing and all that other stuff..

Good Night all I hope you enjoyed my Ramble here today!

Emotions...

Have you ever just felt so many emotions at one time, and you just didn't know what to do or where to turn? 

Well yeah that's how I have been feeling here lately and some of those which include: 

Stressed 

Worried

Confused 

Sad

Happy

Excited

Also many more, it's just crazy when you become the adult and you have to make the decisions and do what you think is best.. When all your life mom did that for me.. 

I've been feeling stressed here, because I don't know what to do or where to go! 

Feeling worried is because I am worried about what others always think or say and I know I shouldn't but I do and that's my biggest mistake on my part I let what others say effect me way to much.. 

Confused comes in with everything, I feel I have my mind made up and then it's just like well no that's not what I want and then I don't know what I want so it makes it crazy.. 

Sad here because I really miss all my family and the close friends back in North Carolina, but I am trying to make the best life for us and the kids.. 

Happy because I am talking to you guys a lot and I get to hear about how everyone is and I love everyone! 

Excited here well because I am excited a lot of times for No reason at all.. I mean really little things make me excited.. 

All these emotions are coming in with that big ole battle I have been having forever now... 

Do I want to Stay in California, or Do I want to move back to North Carolina??

I know I know if I left it open to everyone they would tell me to move home all but Jeffrey and Carl they like us here but want us to be happy no matter if it's staying here or going home.. 

I kind of feel like I want my cake and I want to eat it too but I can't have both, so when I have to choose is when I become overwhelmed with all these emotions here.. 

I want to stay here in California, well because it's so new to us and it's like a Brand New beginning.. How often do you get a new start on things? Also because we have came a long way since we got here Six Months ago! We are getting more settled in and going to be able to afford a car hopefully soon and maybe our own place.. With the fact mom and I have to get a job.. 

Steven already has a job and he is waiting on a Promotion which will be a lot better for him and give him more hours and more money also.. But that's on hold because we haven't really made up our minds as to what we want to do... 

Well then there is going back to North Carolina, which that is totally awesome if I just think of coming back to see everyone we love and miss, but with that it also means, we have to spend all that money to get home which ever way we come back it will cost up no less then $3,000 that's enough to buy a car or a deposit on a house around here.. Just to get home and then Steven will be quitting his job and so all three of us will be coming home, with no job, no where to put all our stuff and no where to live (Although we know someone would let us stay with them probably) we don't want to do that to anyone so getting our own place would be what we wanted but no jobs equal no money!! 

My unemployment time is up I have no more money I can file until May or June I can try again but I don't know if I'll get it or not and I need a job by then!! 

So with all this being said, Steven, mom and I are still talking and trying to figure it all out.. We know and understand fully that everyone misses us and wants us back but we are trying to really work out the Pros and Cons on everything and really figure it out.. So please understand that.. 

We have also talked that maybe we just need to visit North Carolina and see everyone and spend some time together and all that good stuff and then come back here.. 

We want to get a place and have room for you all back there to be able to visit California and stay with us while your here, I know you all want to see California who doesn't.. It's beautiful here and so much nicer then how everyone has always made it out to be.. 

I also have big dreams, which I dream big but what the heck they could come true! I have dreams of being a Chef, a writer, and a Photographer.. Being here I am more willing in getting these things done then I am back home.. 

That's why figuring this out I have to get my act together and get done with school.. I hate that I'm not done yet, but I am going to get there and get it done.. It will be easier too when DannieLynn gets in school because, she'll be in school and I'll only need someone to watch one child and if mom was to get a job I could afford daycare or whatever just for Braxton..

I am a person that never wants to hurt or make anyone upset with me, so with that being said I understand if I go home Jeffrey and Carl will be up set, heck I'll be upset.. Terry and Lenny will be upset, Terry has been asking me what's wrong since I got boxes and started taking stuff out of the room... 

I also understand if we say that we want to stay that everyone in North Carolina will be up set with us and all that and this my friends is the BIGGEST reason I didn't want to tell anyone we were even talking about coming home!!

So here it is I am spilling my guts Truly and Honestly to EVERYONE that reads this.. You may comment you opinion or whatever you feel like saying, but just know it's so much easier for me to talk to you about it like this or something I am not good with speaking it I don't want to hurt anyone and I HATE to cry when I'm talking to someone!! 

I hope you all understand where I am coming from and if you don't I am truly sorry but I love you all and always will no matter what!!

Day 28 of 28 LAST POST THIS MONTH!

Number 28: Write a letter to your younger self!! 

So if I could tell my younger self a little something, I'm not sure what all I would tell me but there is a little bit of stuff.. So here is my letter to myself... 

Dear Danielle, 

While your young take your time and enjoy the little things in life, like being a kid and having your parents to take care of you and listen to what they say because it's all for the better. Stay in school and really try hard to finish, when your supposed to because it's so much harder when your older.. 

Take your time growing up and really enjoy it, don't wish you were 16 then 18 and then 21 because it's nice having that freedom at those ages but not having to work and support your self is so much better then being an adult lol... 

Although I love working for the things I want and need, life is much easier as a child, when you don't have to stress about things or worry with anything going on in the world.. 

So enjoy those times and then grow up and get married and have your babies and be a adult, then enjoy that time.. ;-) 

I love my husband and Kids I would never ever change them for the world or when I got married or had my babies I had them early yes I know but that's ok I would never change it for anything.. 

Love, 

The older me: Danielle Griffin

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read these blogs everyday of this challenge.. This is the last post for the month.. I truly enjoyed taking the time to write and I hope you liked reading.. 

I will be back soon with another post not sure when but I will be! So stay tune as I write more on all types of subject!! 

Thank you all so much!!!

Day 27 of 28

Number 27: What song played during your first dance as Husband and Wife? Why? 

Let's see our wedding was four years ago this July... So it's hard to remember what we first danced too.. 

But that song was...

 

"Then" by Brad Pasiley we both loved that song and it just seemed to be the right song for us to dance too.. 

I remember trying not to stare

The night that I first met you

You had me mezmorized

And three weeks later

In the front porch light

Taking 45 minutes to kiss goodnight

I hadn't told you yet

I thought I loved you then

Now you're my whole life

Now you're my whole world

I just can't believe

The way I feel about you girl

Like a river meets the sea

Stronger than its ever been

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then

This is the first part of the song and it explained us 100% and so it was just right for us to dance to this song!! 

I hope you enjoyed this short post and will be back tomorrow!! 

❤ Danielle

Day 26 of 28

Number 26: Your Favorite High School Moment? 

Well as everyone knows I didn't finish school, so I don't really have a favorite moment in High School I didn't stay long enough to have favorite anything... 

The short amount of time I was there tho I did always have a good time in when I was in classes I liked.. 

Which would be.. 

Parenting class, sewing, cooking.. 

Those were my favorite classes... 

I did have one good moment, which wasn't good at the time but funny now.. 

I was in sewing class, and we had a class full of girls and one boy, well this guy was my really good friend, so I was willing to be partners with him when we would sew and all... 

Well one day I was helping him sew and the thread broke, when I stuck my finger under the needle to fix the problem, he thought it would be funny to start sewing, ( Thankfully I just got my nails done) having fake fingernails saved my real nail from being sewed off like my fake one was lol.. Funny now but painful then!! 

Hope you all had a wonderful day.. Will see you back tomorrow for the next post.. 

❤ Danielle 

Day 25 of 28

Number 25: The Raiderattes are suing the Raiders because they claim they made less then $5.00 an hour. Do you believe NFL Cheerlearders should be paid more? 

I am not sure at all how true this topic here might be, or really what these Cheerlearders really make.. 

But... 

Yes I do feel if they only make $5.00 an hour they are getting the crap end of the deal, I know I know they aren't doing anything to dicult, like being slammed to the ground to have a football ripped from their hands.. 

But they are spending HOURS and HOURS getting ready for these game, working very hard to keep their figures perfect for the crowds and fans.. ( you know like that Bullying post) I would hate for a Cheerlearders to have a little meat someone will call her fat... 

Then there is Game day, these girls spend hours on the side lines cheering and screaming, probably loosing their voices to cheer on the team, and they might even loose but the girls are still cheering a long the whole time for them!! 

So regarudless of anything yes I think they should make more then $5.00 an hour.. Esp knowing that the NFL players make Thousands or even Millions, your dang Cheerlearders deserves some more too!! 

See you back here tomorrow... 

❤ Danielle   

Day 24 of 28

Number 24: Your most embarrassing Moment! 

Honestly I can't really remember my most embarrassing moment I know I have some lol but I really don't know.. 

One of those moment was back in 2007 after my bad car wreck, I had broke my neck so I was in that huge ugly neck brace, my hair was all bloody and gross and I was just beat up, my face half rip off, it was just gross.. 

We went out shopping and everyone would always stare at me and kids would point and say things and I remember how embarrassing that was and crying because I hated the way I looked like that being in public.. Most times I wore my sun glasses so no one could see who I was.. 

I don't really know anymore, I know there is a lot more but I can't think of them! 

What's your most embarrassing moment you can remember?? 

❤ Danielle

Day 23 of 28

Number 23 here: What Advice do you wish you would have received before having kids? 

I'm not so sure that I wished I had received any advice before having my kids, I think I had some pretty good advice.. 

I also feel like having a child you kind of learn as you go type deal, I mean you need your common sense of how to feed, change a diaper and things like that you should know from helping with babies in the familes.. 

But the rest of it, is kind of like a learn experiment to me.. 

I was young when I had both my children and we have made it this far so I'm sure we are doing a pretty good job ;) 

Hope you enjoyed.. LeAve some comments if you wish you had received some advice before having your children! 

❤ Danielle

Day 22 of 28

Number twenty-two here: Have you ever been Builled? If so, how did you handle it? 

Honestly, I can't not remember if I have ever been Builled.. I know at some point I probably was when I was younger but I don't remember it to know how I handled it or anything like that.. 

So with that being said I'll give you a post like this.. 

If you know of someone being Builled or that is bullying someone, do not be scared to get help for that person.. No matter what do not be scared that someone will call you a tale tail or anything like that.. You honestly could save someone's life by helping them get help.. 

If your child is being Builled, figure out why and get to that school and have something done and put a stop to it.. 

People and Kids do not understand that bullying or being Builled can be so harmful but really it can be.. 

Rather it's Internet or face to face it's wrong and needs to have a stop put to it.. 

Always be kind and treat people how you want to be treated, even when it's hard and you want to go off, it's better to just walk away and be the bigger person!  

I went to school with someone that was Builled for some things and this person ended up taking their life because it got to be so bad.. It should never come to that a bully should be stopped before something this tragic happens... 

If you see someone being Builled, offer to be a friend..

Day 21 of 28!!!

Today is number 21: What made you Smile this week? 

Well let's see what has made me smile this week.. My children and family, I love everyone so much they mean everything to me.. 

Also it makes me smile, to see all the support we get from everyone.. When we are at cross roads and don't know ejat to do.. I am so thankful we have such wonderful friends and family.. 

My children have been so good this week and DannieLynn so excited that it's the week of her birthday so we have been counting down the days.. 

We went to the Park and it was Nice to see the babies playing and having fun and Stevens crazy self trying to ride a skateboard lol..

This has been a great week and we are wrapping it up with a nice day at the beach on Saturday to celebrate DannieLynn's 5th birthday!!  

This day is EXTRA SPECIAL because......

 

OUR BABY GIRL TURNS 5!!! Oh my I can not believe we have a 5 year ok daughter it seems so unreal that she is this age.. It feels just like yesterday we were having her!! She has grown so much in these five years, she is a awesome little girl with a great imagination, I wish I could still come up with some of the stuff that she does.. It's so amazing some of the things she said and acts out.. Her personality is pretty amazing also, she is still a bit shy but she seems to be breaking out of that... It's also so hard to believe she'll start school this August!!! 

I hope you enjoyed this special post I wrote today and that you have a very great weekend I'll be back tomorrow for day number 22..

Number Twenty here: Three Easy ways to save money on your grocery bill? 

Well here I'm not going to like google and find out really how to save money on the grocery bill by like using coupons or anything like that but I'll tell you three simple ways that could help you save money, that I have always heard growing up.. 

1: Always make a list, I know I never make a grocery list either, but I really should.. When I go to the store only needing a couple things I always spend way to much by not having a list and getting those things and getting out of the store.. So Always try and make a list and Stick to it.. 

2: NEVER Ever go shopping for groceries when you are hungry, because you'll buy more then if you were full.. You'll see all these yummy things your starving for and you'll be tempted to buy more and more and that makes you spend more.. 

3: If you can help it try and shop without the young children, you know because it's so hard to say no to them when they want those chips, cookies and all those other things.. That will make the bill more then what it should of been.. Also try to avoid those items for your self too.. 

Just for fun, 

Number Four: This is my personal Opinion when I shop for Groceries, Do Not shop at Walmart for the groceries because if your like me you'll shop for everything else, then you will either not have enough money for the food items you needed or you will go over all together in what you wanted to spend.. So anytime that I go out grocery shopping I try and stick to the stores that is only filled with food... 

I hope you enjoyed this post for today and I'll be back tomorrow for a SPECIAL day number 21, tune in tomorrow and see why it is Special...

Nineteen: five tips to take the perfect photo? 

Well well, I'm not real sure how to take the Perfect photo but I can tell you some ways to take a good photo.. Lol, 

1: You are going to want to make sure you have a really good spot for the photo, without a lot of background stuff.. Unless you are somewhere you want all the back ground stuff.. 

2: Make sure you have everyone in the photo and you won't be cutting anyone out.. 

3: Be quick with the camera if you have small kids or people that can't stop (squinting) in the sun light (Jeffrey) ;) 

4: make sure your light is good so that you'll be able to see the photo really good.. Use flash if you'll need it.. 

5: Please Hold the camera Still until the picture is taken so it's not all blurry (Missy) ;) Our mom loves Blurry photos lol.. She is getting better with it tho!! 

Here is some simple tips on taking the perfect photo.. I hope you enjoyed for today and I'll see you back here tomorrow!

1: Big Brother- I absolutely LOVE this show right here... I can't wait every summer for it to come back on, I would probably try and be on the show if I didn't have children lol.. I love to watch this show tho it's my top number one show.. 

2: The Bachelor/Bachelorette- I really enjoy this show when the bachelor/bachelorette is a good one some seasons I like better then others I don't really watch much if I don't get interested the first little bit..

3: Dancing with the Stars- I like this show a lot when it's on, I like it the best when a star I really like is dancing like last season with Snooki.. 

4: General Hospital- I know I know I picked on my mom and everyone and said I would never watch this stupid show but I watched it when I was in elementary school with my sitter and just grew up watching it so it's in my blood I can't help it.. I really like it!!

6: The Taste- I really like this show too because again it's cooking and I really like Ludos as a chef, but I kind of got mad because the cook I like really good went home when their was two others that should of went home.. 

7: Baby Daddy: The funniest show on ABC Family I really enjoy it.. The one guy on there used to play on Full house so it's a plus.. 

8: Snooki and Jwowww- I really like top I don't watch as much as I used to but I do still enjoy it when the seasons are on.
