Free Find.....

This is the latest addition to my house. I found it on Craiglist for free! It took about an hour to clean but it turned out great. I just love getting a good deal!

Tips of the day!

1. So my new favorite thing is All purpose Holy-Cow Cleaner(it is the pink cleaner in the photo)! It takes out spots in the carpet and in clothes perfectly! Along with being a great cleaner for the kitchen and bathroom. I have also used the window cleaner before and it works great, too!

2. My second tip of the day: when making bread instead of using all honey in the recipe switch out and use half honey and half molasses. It save $$$$ when honey is so expensive. Today I bought 2 lbs of honey for $5.49 and Molasses for $2.50 for a bottle. So it is a good thing to try!

Happy Birthday Forrest!!!

Happy Birthday Sweetie! I love you even more now than I did 17 years ago. Your the best husband and father in the world. I love you!

Meatloaf

Well I found a new recipe for meatloaf a few weeks ago....It is a total hit with the family. So here it goes!

Meatloaf Recipe

2 pounds ground beef
1 box of stove top stuffing mix
2 eggs
1 cup of BBQ Sauce( whatever is your favorite)

Mix it all together and put it in a 9x13 pan in the shape of a loaf and bake at 350 for 1 hour.

For the side we always have either mashed potatoes or baked potatoes. If it is baked potatoes we put them in at the same it w/ the meatloaf and set the timer and walk away!

Hope you enjoy the new recipe!!!

Halloween 2009

Caroline was a fairy!

Mathew went as Indiana Jones.
Grant went as Napoleon Dynamite.


Ella was the classic Ballerina.
Anna went a Strawberry Shortcake.

Our final stop is our yearly tradition of Trick or Treating to Uncle Jerry and Aunt Karen. We have been doing this classic stop since Grant was a baby....That year he was a ghost. Our kids had a great time w/ U. Jerry and A. Karen. Thanks for all the good candies!!!

This are the pumpkins the kids carved....The morning after!!!!

Their final resting spot is a black barrel on the side of the house.

Dear Pumpkins--Thanks for doing you job!
