My project craze

Okay so like so many other women out there I have found Pinterest. Yes I was very addicted for a bit, but now I have this huge list of things I want to try or do so I just sort of stopped pinning things and have been trying things out. The other day I did one of the cleaning things I found. See I inherited a cookie pan from my mother. Now we all know what happens to cookie pans no matter how clean you keep them. After 30 years the pan looks like THIS
Well I found this recipe to clean it up using Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide. Basically taking Baking Soda and adding enough Hydrogen Peroxide to create a paste. You then can either using your fingers or a rag and apply it to the pan. I started using my hands then I used a scrub brush a little (my stain remover brush from the laundry room). I used a few applications remember it is 30 plus years of grime living there, some of what were almost permanent burnt chunks living on here. Well after about 20 minutes it looked like THIS

I have to say the difference is there, I at one time thought these pans were black growing up. As you can tell I was unable to get all the grime off I will probably do it again soon just to try to see what I can do. Well I had a nice clean pan so what does one do? Well we bake on it of course.
So my kids like pigs in a blanket. You know taking a hot dog wrapping it in a crescent roll after stuffing a cheese slice in it. Well I found a recipe like this using ham slices and Swiss cheese. I figured this couldn't hurt to try. I knew the younger kids wouldn't do Swiss cheese so I used Cheddar for them. I baked these according to the directions on the crescent roll can and they came out perfect. We manged to get them to eat them up with very little complaints.
Just a little bit o Me. Perhaps we shall see more projects coming in the future.

    Pan looks good! I just made the ham & cheese crescents tonight! I did mine a tad different keeping the triangles together and making eggroll sized ham & cheese rolls. Everybody loved them! Now the problem is the overflow of cheese baked on the pan! I have to admit I have gotten into Pinterest too and am finding all kinds of ideas!

Family Pictures

Image
Alright so we are what is considered a big family these days. I am lucky and my photographer loves his subjects as my photographer is my father-in-law (FIL). I had him do some family pictures this month so we could have a cute Christmas card. Our problem is the kids are so young so half the time one or more kid is not looking at the camera and this is often the result. Okay so that is sort of cute. Let's see what else results from a large family. Okay this one is not so bad, other than the face. This is a little better, again so many people and under the lights it can get warm (yes he has professional lights and will have a studio this next year.) At this point. I was sure we were done. However me being mommy we continued on. I did get the shot I wanted. I won't share it, it wasn't perfect, in fact it was less than perfect, however it just screamed this is it. It reminds me of the kids picture with Santa last year, you know one of those moments you just ca

Christmas Crack?

Image
Okay so in January of 2009 I joined a cloth diaper board called Cloth Diaper Nation . I had just found out I was expecting my third child the summer before and after loosing a computer hard drive to Diaper Swappers 's viruses they were having trouble with at the time, I jumped ship for another place to get diapers. See with my second baby I decided I wanted to cloth diaper and just knew I would need loads more diapers after having my third child, and would now have two babies in diapers. I ended up finding the ladies of the board very interesting. I loved that there was no edit button and you had to own what you said there. What I did find strange was their chatter about crack. Heck they even ran a co-op of this crack. I didn't get it at first. I began to understand this was a candy of sorts. So I just pushed it off. So then Christmas came and they were unable to get the co-op run and there were many sad ladies. I again thought nothing of this crack. So this year I am introdu

I Survived

So a couple of months ago on Facebook I had a message from someone I went to middle school/high school with. We hung in the same circle of friends. We however we never really that close, always keeping each other at arms length. I can say she was more of my "bully" than friend. In this message she told me she was sorry. She realizes that her actions and words were harmful to me. She told me that what she did and said all those years ago were not the actions of a Christian that she thought she was. I cried, why, probably because it was the first time in over 15 years someone said they were sorry and meant it. I'm not perfect, I would be crazy to say I was. I come with battle scars. How I view myself is a result of YEARS of being bullied. I don't think I have even talked about how much it still effects my everyday life with my amazing husband. My self esteem is lacking, I have never felt pretty, I think I will always feel fat. This is damage that was done over YEARS of
