New Year, New Recipes.

So I have been trying a lot of new recipes lately.  Not only do I get bored with having the same thing all the time - but it's fun to try new things.  Feast your eyes on some of the things that we have had or will be having at our house...



As always, you can check out my Pinterest for other recipes I can't wait to try! 

Simple Things

Well, a lot happened this week - and then again, nothing did.

As I mentioned in my previous post, we got some snow this week.  So much so that Andy ended up having the whole week off due to inclement weather!  It started on Monday, continued to Tuesday, kept snowing Wednesday and freezing rain came Thursday.  Wet and cold, cold and wet!  We barely left our house for 4 days and if we did it was only to go out and play in the snow.  Finally when Friday came the roads were ok enough to make a trip to the gym and that was about it.  Needless to say, by Saturday we were all itching to get out of the house!!

Regardless of our house arrest, I found plenty of simple things to enjoy...

* A warm and comfortable home!  Many of our friends lost power for a couple of days, but we were fortunate enough to keep ours all week. I love electricity!

*Downton Abbey.  Andy and I found this show on Netflix and are officially hooked!  Season 2 is now playing on PBS!  Check it out.

* Children who managed well being stuck in the house all week!

* The beautiful view...

* Rosy little baby cheeks...I think this is one of the cutest pictures of Clare.

* When the time came, I was especially grateful for Charlie's Safari Family Fun Center!  They provided a couple of hours of exercise/fun for our little Family.

Wish I could have gotten a picture of Noah but he was off in the bounce house!  Can't wait to go back.

Hopefully you found some simple things to be grateful for this week!
