Sneak Peak Sunday


Here is the "In The Sandbox" comic that will post tomorrow on GoComics.com. For being a blog reader, you get to read it early! =)


I got this idea from work one day.  There was a bunch of us talking about our "parenting war stories".  It just kept escalating.  The people that did not have kids were slowly backing out of the room.  We had to finish the stories with "it's the best thing in the world".  It really is the best thing... but it made me chuckle.  ;)

Have a WONDERFUL MONDAY!!

And as always, thank you for reading.

These are two of my favorite comic strips that I have drawn.  Since tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, I thought it would be quite appropriate to share them with you today.

Tuesday Time Saving Tip

If you are like me, then you do not have a lot of time on the weekdays.  We have 2 boys that keep us quite busy with their schedules.  Currently our evenings are filled with homework, reading and baseball practice/games.  So there are nights that it is difficult to get dinner on the table on time.  So I am always looking for easy, quick, yummy dinner ideas. 

Last Sunday, I made a recipe I found on one of my FAVORITE blogs, Chef In Training.  The recipe is for Crock Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup.  It was FABULOUS!!  You can find the recipe here at Chef In Training


What is wonderful about this recipe, is that we had plenty left over to have dinner on Monday night, baseball practice night.  Just reheat after practice!  You gotta love that.

Do you have any quick, easy, go-to recipes to share?  I would love to more ideas!

Well, here's to an organize, smooth week!

Pinterest Post - Be AWESOME

I LOVE Pinterest!  Boy, can I waste a lot of time there.  Anyway...  here is one of my favorites from Pinterest:


I like this because it makes me want to do better than "just show up".  Many times throughout the day, I am just checking boxes to get things done.  "Being in the business of being awesome" is about being present, being intentional and caring about the product of your work.  Today, I am going to be in the business of being awesome!  How about you?  :D

Have a GREAT day!  Thank you for reading.
