A working mom trying to do it all ....and succeeding!
Saturday was my brother’s Birthday. He and my mother came up to visit and I threw him a small birthday party. We ordered pizza and I made cupcakes.
I had gotten a photo prop kit from Wal-Mart a few days prior and I would highly recommend one for any party! We had a blast!
Can you tell my daughter now know what bunny ears are? She got Mike in almost every picture!
Feeling terrible….I have a sinus cold and my head is killing me.
Nervous….I have a test to take on Saturday. I’m taking a Para Professional test to become a teacher’s aide. It’s at 7:30am, which means I have to leave my house at 6:30 and I’m hoping I feel better by then.
Concerned….My husband has an infection in his throat, my son has an ear infection and cough. I’m hoping my daughter doesn’t come down with anything.
Tired of this cold weather…I really want Spring to come soon.
Okay, enough complaining….
Happy….I had a small birthday party for my brother and he thought it was the best thing ever!
Thankful….I have a roof over our head and food to eat.
Excited…..Spring break is in a week and a half. No need to get up early!!
Happy…..that is will be in the 70’s for a few days coming up soon.
How are you doing this week?
I was sent a gift pack and a Publix gift card. All opinions are my own.
Italian food is always a huge crowd pleaser. Whether you’re feeding your hungry family or hosting a household of friends, everybody loves the taste of al dente pasta, a rich sauce or a delicious pizza. At the Italian Days event at Publix® from February 20th through March 5th, you can find delicious recipes and get savings on some of your favorite General Mills and ConAgra brands like Progresso, Green Giant, Pillsbury, and Hunt’s Tomatoes. Visit www.clickcallmail.com to find 8 great recipes and highlights of the items on sale.
I chose to make soup. It’s still a little chilly in North Florida and my mother had made a really good soup the other day and I wanted to try to make it myself.
I went to Publix and picked all the ingredients. It is Italian Days at Publix so several of my ingredients were on sale. Yeah!
I went on what my mother told me and bought a rotisserie chicken, Progresso Broth, white beans, diced tomatoes, carrots, frozen spinach and noodles.
I’ve always followed a recipe before so to wing it was a little different. I basically added all of this together with a few spices and water and set to boil, then simmer.
It looked good and tasted good. But the next day when I went to get some there was no broth! I added too many noodles and they took all the broth away. So will have to add some more broth. Thankfully it was on sale, Buy One Get One Free.
Are you a book reader? I am. I love to read. I love to dive into a book and get lost in the pages. I am looking forward to summer reading by the pool!!
Did you know that World Book Day is March 6th? I never knew there was a World Book Day. You can learn more about it at WorldBookDay.com.
So what is it exactly? A celebration! It’s a celebration of authors, illustrators, books and (most importantly) it’s a celebration of reading. Right now my daughter is super excited about reading. I hope it lasts. World Book Day is mostly celebrated in the UK and Ireland. I think it would be great to celebrate here as well.
There was a survey done recently by Fancy Dress Ball about Favorite authors and favorite characters. This was done in anticipation of World Book Day. Now why would a costume site do a survey like this? Because what happens when our children read their favorite stories? They want to dress like them as well!
So which character came out on top? Harry Potter, of course.
Winnie the Pooh came in second and Cinderella made it on the list as well. I wonder what my daughter’s kindergarten class would say if they were surveyed. I think I will email the teacher and let her know about World Book Day. It would be a great day to dress up as their favorite book character or have a guest reader.
I have so many favorites I don’t think I could pick just one.
Do you have a favorite book character or author?
