I’m so excited about this next weekend! Our daughter, s-i-l, and Baby J are coming for Easter weekend. It will have been five weeks since we’ve seen them, but it seems a lot longer than that. I’m sure there are grandmas out there who understand exactly what I mean, especially “Mamaw.” It will be so neat to see all the things Baby J can do now that he couldn’t do a month ago. He’s seven months old now, so he’s pushing up with his arms when he’s on his tummy and it won’t be long until he’s crawling and getting into things. I can’t wait to hold him, feed him, and rock him to sleep. He’s so precious and adorable!
Our daughter and I will have to get in some time shopping, and that will be fun! We used to shop a lot together when she was in high school and college, and I always enjoy our time together. She’s such a sweet daughter! Our dear son and dear s-i-l will get in some good video game time, knowing the two of them. And my husband and I will be enjoying every minute of having family home for the holidays. We’ll also get to be with Baby J’s other grandma, “Mamaw” and Aunt L. So, my Easter weekend plans are to be with all my family, and I feel truly blessed!
Check out this new site called Zero and Up where you can “learn to grow your earnings.” It has great information for seasoned bloggers as well as for those just starting out. I’ve learned helpful tips and also learned about some things I didn’t really fully understand. For example, on his most recent post, I learned about using Entrecard. I signed up for it today and have already started using it. The site is really doing great for being less than a month old. The writer has a good sense of humor which can be noted in the post, “Fail-proof plan to make your blog comment free!” And by the way, there are some good comments on that post so check those out, too. 🙂
We were in business years ago and had our own store. There are a lot of things to purchase for a business. If any of you are self-employed and have your own business, then you know what I mean. If you are looking for small business phone systems, then you might want to check out Neobits. Their customers say they are fast, courteous, and professional.
I read about the dangers of butter flavoring last year. I don’t understand why these companies haven’t already stopped using diacetyl because of this reason.
We rarely eat microwaved popcorn since we prefer the taste of hot air popped popcorn with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt, plus it’s healthier. Air poppers aren’t carried in many stores, though, but they can be purchased through several online sites for around $20 and up if anyone is interested.
Now that spring is nearly here, it’s the time of year to get everything clean. I’m already wanting to do spring cleaning because the weather was warm and sunny here today. Not only is it nice to get our homes nice and clean, but some people may want to use a colon cleanse if they’re really in the cleaning mood. It’s nice to be clean inside and out and not to worry about toxins building up.
#1. What’s your favorite fruit and how do you like to eat it?
I like all fruit. My favorite is a fresh fruit salad with a variety of fruits, and then in the hot summer we like to have a fresh fruit fruilatti nearly every day.
#2. What is the one spice in your kitchen you use more than any other?
I add parsley to a lot of dishes when I’m cooking because it’s super healthy, so it would have to be parsley.
#3. Pudding. Instant, stovetop or premade?
I prefer stovetop made-from-scratch pudding. It’s delicious plus I know it doesn’t have a bunch of additives in it. But if I don’t have the time, premade is good.
#4. Share a recipe using potatoes.
For those who like lumpy mashed potatoes, this is a healthy, different, & easy way to make them. You don’t have to boil the potatoes, just bake in the microwave: “Bake First” Mashed Potatoes
If you sit at a computer or desk area very long, then you know how important it is to have a comfortable chair that supports your back. OF Concepts has some really great buys on leather office chairs, and they are offering free shipping which is a great plus! They have a tremendous selection of quality office chairs at a super value. We shopped around for an office chair for my husband for Christmas, so I know these are great prices.
Psychologist Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences is that each person has varying levels of different intelligences, so every person is different and has a “unique cognitive profile.” When I taught in the public school system, I was a “Gifted and Talented” teacher for my grade level. I attended many workshops for G/T teachers, and we studied Howard Gardner’s theory which stuck in my mind. Here are his seven areas of intelligence or giftedness:
IQ tests measure a person’s Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical and Spatial Intelligence. A person might be a genius in another area, yet the typical IQ test would miss it. So don’t fully rely on IQ tests for intelligence levels.
Most people know very little about mesothelioma, a serious cancer that occurs in people exposed to asbestos. I was surprised to find out that most manufacturers were aware of the hazards of asbestos as early as the 1920’s, yet asbestos continued to be used because it saved manufacturers money. Most corporations knew of these hazards. So that’s the bottom line…money was saved at the expense of people’s health! If you would like to know more, Mesothelioma Help has answers to questions plus support and help for those affected by it.
There are between two and three thousand new diagnoses of mesothelioma every year. The sad part is that it could have been prevented!
Here are some time-saving recipes for pie crusts:
Most people are so busy and some find it hard to find the time to roll out a pie crust while they are making all the other dishes for their Easter dinner. Here are some helpful recipes!
