October is Fire Safety Month!
By 1 Comment
Going into Winter everyone should go over with family a fire route to safety. Many families don't ever prepare for fires in their home. Many have gone over hurricanes, floods, and other natural disasters, however MOST fires are preventable! Predict different routes from each possible way.

The addiction grew and I went from French Vanilla over to Coconut. About a year ago I got a hot coffee in the drive thru and actually liked it. After $2+ a cup I realized it would be much cheaper to start making it at home every day. I didn't own a coffee … [Read more...]

So last night I decided to try something new for dinner! It was Apple Stuffing Pork Chops. Even though none of us really care for stuffing it turned out rather yummy.

I then went crazy cleaning my kitchen and thought since I hardily … [Read more...]

I know I rarely post pics of my kiddos on here (something about pasting them on the internet, I have a family one for that LOL) but I … [Read more...]
