Last Week

Wow! I think this is the first time in my blogging life I have gone a whole week without posting. Between a toddler, house renovations, and this new "kick A" company I am working for. I have very little free time.

Seriously ya'll if you are looking to supplement or replace your income THIS company is where it's at. My customers are losing 3 to 6 inches after 1 wrap. I am making a good part time salary after just 2 weeks, working completely from home. I am shooting for diamond though, which will pay $10,000 if I hit it by June 30th. Yes you read that right 10K. I would love talking to anyone interested! It will change your life.

Check out these results
This is after 2 wraps!

I have been praying that God would bless this journey for my family and that I could be a blessing to others through this. Last Friday I was able to chat with a lovely lady who lives in Chicago that contacted my because of my blog post on the wrap. How random, but how neat!

Last week we had a play date with the cutest kid, Nixon. Isn't that the cutest name ever? Oh and did ya'll know that when ducks mate they look like they are killing each other? I had no idea! Cassie and I thought they were just picking on a little duck so we started launching playground gravel at them to let the little one try and make a break for it only to find out it was males and a female. Weird! They looked like they were trying to gouge her eyes out.



This picture is my favorite. Sad faces don't get more heartbreaking than that.


 Crewe decided he was OVER going to the hardware store.

 We covered EVERY inch of our house in plastic in preparation to texture our ceilings. Don't ask my husband how he felt about that. I FINALLY settled on a paint color for the dining and living room.


We drank way to much of this at night
 And made several trips for ice cream


And we find the simplest things to play with. Usually Daddy comes up with the cool ideas! And DANG, love my hottie of a husband!




Whew that was exhausting



Happy Mondays!

Lovin me some family time and a WINNER

So Crewe's 15 months post will have to wait for another night. I spent very little time in the blog world this weekend because the weather was beautiful and Daddy was home. Given that he will be 16 months in a week I might just save if for a 16 month post.

We spent a lot of time outside because besides the tub that is his favorite place to be.

Here is our weekend in pictures


 (Yes that is spagetti sauce on my chest, because that is how I roll)











***************************************************

Oh and how could I forget!?! We have a winner for the Ulitmate Body Applicator!


Congrats Holly! Shoot me and email with your address and I will get this in the mail to you! Hopefully you will let me share your results with my blog readers!

Speaking of the Ultimate Body Applicator, I had my first wrap party this weekend and it was so much fun! I will post more about it and all the inches lost this week.

I have also wrapped 3 times and intended to show my comparison pictures, but my picture program is acting funny so that will have to wait also.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

This, That, and a Recipe

I officially get an F- in blogging this week. I know ya'll are sick of hearing all my excuses like.....the house renovations, my new obssession with the Ultimate Body Wrap, and did I say house renovations???

I have a super fun 15 months post about my little munchie coming on Sunday as well as a WINNER for the contest. Yay for whoever wins, get ready to see some tightened, toned, and firm skin and hopefully some inch loss.

Ok, ok, I have been in a rambling state of mind lately, onto the recipe.

.

Popeye's Favorite Lasagna

This was my first time making this casserole. I tweaked it some to appease my protein loving honey.
So, so easy to make! I love the casseroles that you just mix together, layer, and pop in the oven.

Here's what you need (minus the pineapple) plus some Mozza

Mix egg, spinach, ricotta cheese, mozza cheese, and spinach soup mix, salt and pepper to taste
Sidenote: I used the vegetable soup mix because Wal-mart did not carry the spinach. I would stick with the spinach soup mix. The veggie was ok, but not fantastic.


We had to call in some Aunt B support for a babe who wasn't feeling great. Kisses make everything better.


Now start layering, tomato pasta sauce, then the no bake lasagna noodles

Add the mixture and then a layer of chicken


Repeat that same layering again then add a layer of noodles and tomato pasta sauce. Sprinkle with some mozza and pop in the oven for 30 minutes

Easy, peasy, cheesy, healthy and super yummy

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces, weight Part-skim Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 Rotisserie Chicken
  • 10 ounces, weight Package Frozen Spinach, Defrosted And Drained
  • 1 package Knorr® Cream Of Spinach Soup Mix, 1.8 Ounce Packet
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 cup Shredded Asiago Cheese/ Mozzarella
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 12 ounces, weight Jar Of Tomato Pasta Sauce, Or Your Favorite Homemade Sauce
  • 10 whole No-cook Lasagna Noodles
  • ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

How to make:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Begin by mixing together the ricotta, spinach, Knorr® Cream of Spinach Soup mix, egg, asiago cheese, salt and pepper.
2. Then begin layering your ingredients into an 8×10-inch glass baking dish. First lay down a layer of tomato sauce so that the pasta does not dry up. Next add the pasta and layer it so that there are no holes through to the sauce below. On top of the pasta, spread a layer of the spinach mixture, a layer of chicken, then add a layer of sauce on top of that. Repeat the layers starting with pasta. Do this 1 more time but top the last pasta layer with sauce rather than the spinach mix. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top.
3. Bake in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes or until center is warmed through and cheese has melted. Serve immediately.
4. If you have leftovers, cover the glass baking dish with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerator till ready to eat. Then either reheat the whole dish in the microwave or slice out individual servings and reheat on a plate in the microwave. Flavors really seem to meld together after a night or two in the refrigerator.

 Little man hasn't been himself for almost a week now and we had green coming out of his eyes and nose today, so it was wonderful seeing this smile emerge again tonight.

Have a great weekend. We will be spending lots of time outside.

Giveaway with a little Happenings

Because I believe in this product so much and know whoever the lucky winner is will be hooked after they try it; I am giving away 1 wrap to one lucky reader.



All you you have to do to qualify is be a follower of my blog and leave me a comment below.

Goodluck!

In other news:

I was oh so excited at the fact that I was going to get my new camera at a great discounted price, only to find out the next day that the website (CAMERAPROMO) is a huge hoax. DO NOT use that place. I don't want my blog to be a negative place of bashing, but this place is a serious rip off and have horrible customer service. 

So now ya'll are stuck with my duck taped camera photos and phone pics. Lucky you ; )

My little precious is starting to throw some serious tantrums!! Is that supposed to happen so young? I thought they stayed sweet babies much longer than this. Anyhow much of my day is spent trying to redirect, because I have heard it is still too soon for them to understand punishment.

Of course I cannot leave out all the work that has been going on at our house. The only before and afters I have so far are these.




Lame, I know! I promise they will improve and get much more exciting. The prep work is killer! Oh and in case you are wondering what the before and after are, it is the clean floor. I will never scrape a popcorn ceiling again!

Oh and I ask my honey to get a good picture of me working (yes I have to ask him to take pictures of me or I would never have any) and this is what I get. Attractive right?

Crewe loves helping his Daddy with ANYTHING!


Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! Baby Einstein and sugar = happy baby!

There has been playing too. Finding a good balance between house renovations and everything else in life has been something we are working on.


Questionable sandals? Are they boys or girls? Lets just say we only wear them at home.


This guys future is lookin bright

And we played outside A LOT! Dang you Lubbock weather for getting cold
Playing in the rain is pretty cool too

We ended the day in the dog bowl.

Hope your week is going great with far less tantrums!

Happy Wednesday!
