Great Beauty Finds....

Got on to visit some blogs after dinner and came

upon Honey Brown Sugar's blog 

and totally love all her takes on beauty and found 

some awesome recipes on homemade lipgloss, which

I'll definitely be trying in the near future.. she 

showed her readers how to give your hair beautiful 

wavy coil curls..which I really love. I've been trying 

to find a new hair style and looks like this one I will 

be trying to wear on Sunday. My dh has been really 

tired of that bun look and so am I. so I'll try it and 

post up some pics. on how it turned out. I might not

have the same conditioner she uses on her hair. So let's

hope that my Dove conditioner will work miracles

for me...

I got my kindergartner to school this morning at 7:45 am.
Got back to cleaning the house, organizing all our receipts,
blogging and will be heading out later on to grab lot of
moving boxes to put away all the stuff we won't be using
for right now. Work has been pretty slow so moving
might be right around the corner..ughh..

  started and have never finished.

Friday 01/02/09 Ideas and happenings

So I woke up to more snow this morning and a
sunny day. I found out last night that someone
had broken in to our car and smashed in the
windows in the passenger side. This all happened
when my husband went to Portland last night
to drink kava with his buddies and there
were 4 other cars that got their windows smashed
in too. yes..wrong time at the wrong place.

So that changes my plans for going shopping
today with the kids. I'll be waiting it out until
dh gets back to stay with them so I can run
out and get the ingredients to make my
sample cake. I've had several full size samples
of Enfamil baby formula sent to me by mail
with the $1/1 - $5/1 coupons..Just recieved
Nestle baby formulas also with a $8/1 coupon
and have thought about using that as my center
piece inside the baby diaper cake, maybe I
could just insert the coupon in there and just
white out my name, ..just an
idea. Let me know what you think.
I'd love to hear your ideas..

I just asked the kids to eat cereal for breakfast
and I'll fix them tomato soup with grilled cheese
sandwiches for lunch. For dinner, they're
just going to get Tater Tot Casserole, salad and
Cherry sugar free Jello for dessert..yes,
it's the one from The Duggar Family..love them, too..:)
Don't worry, I got the recipe for you too.
I just lowered the amount enough for our
family.

TATER TOT CASSEROLE 2 lb ground turkey cooked, seasoned, drained 3 2lb bags tater tots 2 cans cream of mushroom 2 cans evaporated milk 2 cans cream of chicken Brown meat & place in large cass. dish. Cover with tater tots. Mix soup & milk together. Pour over top. Bake at 350 for 1 Hour. (One of Daddy’s Favorites!) Makes 2- 9”X13” pans FYI- I put in a whole bag of Green Giant Frozen Vegetables to make it healthier..any choice..the kids like broccoli and mixed vegetables variety

Happy New Years........

Hope you all have an awesome 2009. I'm 

excited to start things anew this year!!

I've been between my blogging and 

baking bread tonight..my older daughters

went out dancing with my little sister, 

Meliani and her dh, Hola..My oldest son

Ami is at my little brother's house 

and we're here at home with the two 

little ones. We had planned on attending

our ward dance and these two fell 

asleep by 7 pm. So we stayed and just

watched movies, blogged and baked

the night away..lol..well here's to 2009

and may it bring you all that you've 

wanted and more...

God Bless, 

Maopa...
