SUPER SUNDAY

Sunday is a date day for hubby CEO and I.  We love to try different finger food; all that goes with football of course.  Today's trial was home grown jalapeno poppers.  I have never tried making them, but this year I had a jalapeno plant in my garden and they were completely worth the wait. 

Very simple:

Jalapenos of all sizes

Cream Cheese

Turkey Bacon

Cut jalapenos in half, de-seed them. 

(I suggest checking them twice because biting into a seed later will

make it worth to do it now.....trust me!!!!)

Fill in with cream cheese

Wrap in turkey bacon

Heat oven to 400 degrees

Bake for 10-15 minutes

ENJOY!

Some yard work done, laundry started, food is cooked.....time for some football.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

MOM ALWAYS KNOWS....

I have been on the search for a new, cute fall coffee mug (a girl has to change with the seasons, right?!)  After a great weekend with my mom, she sent me home with a fun box and in it was this cute stuff.  She knew back in May what I wanted now. 

How do moms do that?

Love you Mom!!

(Stay tuned for more of mom's fun box. What can I say? She's the bestest mom ever.)

FUN HANGOVER

We are back from a weekend of giggles and good times.

I do not get to see my mom or twin nieces near enough, so time with them is priceless.

We celebrated my mom's birthday with a princess pirate party, including pirate ship water slides.  The girlies are quite the swimmers and completely fearless in the pool.

My mind is just racing with all of the fun we had and memories we made.  :)

When's the next party?!!

TODAY'S SUBJECT: BEAUTIFUL BEANS

A great friend of ours has a gorgeous garden that he allows us to come raid every now and again.  Minus the mosquitoes, I'm in heaven!  Hubby and I went and did some picking last week and came home with beans, corn, beans, cucumbers and more beans. 

Saturday morning I was up early and busy with beans.

Some people put pies on their windowsills.  I put beans!  :)

 

Stay tuned for this weekend's garden project.

LOOK WHAT MY HUBBY DID....

I came home from work tonight to homemade baked sub sandwiches, pups fed and dishes done. 

How lucky of a lady am I?!! 

I love being married to that man!!

   I received these adorable flannel blocks a while back from Loft Creations.  After 3 foot surgeries and a wedding, I am back in business on my NEW sewing machine (more on that later) and this is the first of many Project Linus blankets to be donated made from the blocks.
   I have shared the blocks with my mom and grandma to also make donation blankets for Project Linus.
  

The Project Linus Mission

Project Linus is comprised of hundreds of local chapters and thousands of volunteers across the United States. Each volunteer and local chapter all work together to help us achieve our mission which is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers."

Together we have distributed over three million blankets to children in need since our inception in 1995.

Thank you to Loft Creations for your fun idea and donation! 

Have a great day!

Love,

Blanketeer Tara.
