1. It’s Monday. We just finished up therapy and next week is officially Amon’s last week of therapy. Tear. And what are you having for dinner tonight? I would love to know. I kind of loathe cooking and I’m always on the lookout for some easy, good dinners.
2. This picture of Amon absolutely kills me because A) Waiting for donuts is hard even for me, but for an almost hungry 3-year-old it’s near impossible. And B) He totally reminds me of a young Bob Dylan.
3. Does anyone else have a random cereal jar? Just us? You know the small portion remnants of all the cereals in your cabinet…well, at our house we combine them all in one jar and it’s like a suicide of cereal. Please tell me you remember mixing all the fountain drinks and calling it a suicide??!?!?!
4. Josh Kelley and I are reading this book…again. This makes for the 86th time 🙂 It’s just THAT good people. Buy it. Read it. Get ready for the change.
5. Want to share some baked good love today? Here’s what you do…make my Aunt Tootsie’s (Margaret for you fancy people out there) amazing homemade chocolate sauce and divide it into small jars. I use cocoa powder. Then buy the following: Breyer’s vanilla ice cream, mini M&Ms, spray whipped cream, cherries, sprinkles and some fun bowls if you can find them. Put everything in a bag along with the chocolate sauce and give it away. Just do it. Ice cream is fun and brings about smiles.
6. I’ve been working on my Bible Journaling prep for this Saturday. I am so crazy excited/so nervous I may puke. True story. And I still have some spots available if you would like to join us. Just shoot me an email at pitterpatterart at gmail dot com
7. And orders. You guys I am so out of sorts with balancing work and home now that my alone days at home are non-existent. I’m learning again how to work with a little one in tow, but she’s the cutest little helper/mess maker in all the land. God is teaching me everyday His ways are far better than mine and His dreams and desires for me are more amazing than I could fathom.
Another week. I think it’s going to be an awesome one.
Happy Monday party people!

I think I’m making quiche tonight. Sounds so fancy but it’s really easy and can be a kid-pleaser if you don’t get crazy with fillers. We mostly do cheese and bacon (and a store-bought pie crust, of course). Serve with some fruit. Done and done. 🙂
Crock pot pork roast. Put half of a pork loin in the crock pot and pour a jar of banana peppers over it. Cook on high for four hours.
Chicken stir fry – onion, green bell pepper and asparagus – chop and start cooking in a pan (you don’t taste the asparagus – it just fills it out and adds a veggie). Throw in some cut up chicken breasts (or thighs, or whatever you have) and a can of rotel. Once it’s done, drain it, mix in some stir fry sauce, however much you want, and serve with rice. We usually add jalapenos or something to make it spicy, but little ones may not appreciate that.

Making foil packets! Place a chicken breasts on a piece of foil, add dash or two of chicken broth and then seasoning and add veggies…I like corn, green beans, potatoes, onions…each person can do their own and pick their veggies…could do broccoli, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, zucchini….endless possibilities…bake at 350 for 40-45 mins…till chicken is done!
First picture, using natural light, is an award winner! Outstanding.
