New "Do"!!!!

Today is the day!!!  I'm getting my hair cut like this!!!  My hair is falling out so bad due to stress and a very lengthy divorce---I just need to cut it off and start over.  Right now, this is the style I'm going with.  My hairdresser/friend picked it out.  Also call it "sexy hair!!!"
Compliments of Pinterest!!!

We will see!!!!

So True....

I often feel like I'm trying to "compensate" for the things that Mac is not getting in his life.  It has been a major adjustment year for him with the divorce and all.  However, when I read this on a blog that I follow, it really made me stop and think.    I like it when I come across something that really stands out and  makes me think about how and what I'm doing to make sure Mac grows up to be a good, caring man.  I often reward him with materialistic things and I need to think of ways to improve on that.  Get him to value what is around him as well as what he is given.  I love things that make you go hmmmmmmm......

Check out "and spiritually speaking"...  Awesome blog!!!

Last Recipe of the Week!!

I was checking in on the blogs that I follow and stumbled upon this tasty looking dinner.  I think Mac would love it.  He still hasn't figured out that I switched to ground turkey months ago!  So I think I can pull this one off too!!  I got it over at Skinnytaste.com.  And now that he has found a new love for bacon---I see this as a future dinner for sure!!!

Love Casserole's....

Found this Heavenly dish via Pinterest at Nestle USA.  I read through the comments of other readers and it got stellar reviews.  Plus another great thing about the comments is that you can also see how a recipe has been tweaked to make it even better.  I'm going to add more eggs to increase the protein and maybe a jalapeno or two as well..  Yum...

Love Green Beans...

If there is one staple in my house, its green beans.  I'm embarrassed to say though, I have never cooked the real thing, as far as green beans go.  By luck and my addiction to Pinterest, I think I've found a recipe that looks good and is simple!  It's from SkinnyTaste.com.  I will have to work this into the menu next week.

Roasted Parmesan Green Beans

ENJOY!!!
