Day Twelve Blog Challenge

Something that you miss. Why?

I miss having friends and certain family members around. I miss being around/closer to many family members. I have tried to really make friends but nothing ever seems to stick. Its hard being 23, married, and a mother. My responsibilities are to my family first, so yeah. I also dont really like to 'go out' too much. I would be much happier just having friends over for food, drinks, and games/movies/something.

Favorite Book.



Love this book. It is a fiction. It has many ups and downs and just a great story line. What I liked about this book was it took off from the very first page. I love when a book can get you right away, so you aren't having to read a chapter or two just ot get into it.

Day Ten Blog Challenge

Highs and Lows of the last year.

A year ago my daughter was just about 3 months old. Shortly after in October I lost my job, it was the perfect job because I was able to keep my daughter with me at all times. My husband changed jobs, then lost the new one, and then got another through a temp agency but of course it was not quite paying enough so now we live with my parents. Its not ideal but those are my lows really..

My highs are mostly the time spent with family and watching my daughter grow into such a beautiful little girl. I am very blessed with the family I have. I love you so much Hubs and Kaitlynn!

Just wanted to add...

In the company my husband and I run, we have started a foods blog. It is up and running and we are working hard to have it filled to the brim with recipes and articles relating to food. Just thought maybe you all might like to check it out.

Any suggestions of things to add to it or recipes you would like to submit for review would be great... if your recipe is picked we would give you credit in the form of your name or website or similar.

Day Seven Blog Challenge

What is your zodiac sign and do you think it fits you?

I am a crab. Cancer is my sign.

I definitely think it fits me, pretty much to a 'T'. Its crazy because I have never really believed in astrology but do love learning about it and seeing that maybe I am who my sign says I am.

This website (http://www.psychicguild.com/horoscopes_zodiac.php?sign=Cancer) here had a great explanation.

Weirdly enough, Gemini, fits my daughter great too.

My husband is a Cancer, and to think that it fits him too, is weird since him and I are pretty much each other's opposite.

Day Six Blog Challenge

Do you kind of see my pattern.? My comfort foods are sweets. :)

Day Five Blog Challenge (a day late.. shame on me)

Views on Religion.

I, myself, am christian. I do not claim, at laest try to since I am not a practicing christian, any denomination. I was baptised twice. As a baby I was baptised Catholic and at 4 years old I was baptised Lutheran.

I don't really have a big view on religion. I don't care who you worship, if its one or many. I don't care how you pray or what your rituals are. As long as you are happy and are a good person with good morals that is all that matters. I do however have annoyances with religions, as least with those that I have come into contact with. Here is St. Paul, MN we have missionaries who ride around on their bikes and try to talk to you and give you a bible- they don't however leave you alone when you ask them to. I have had Jehovah's Witnesses knock on my door and I end up having to just shut the door because they do not seem to understand when I am NOT interested. And Catholic, especially orthodox, is too much for me. They just seem to dictate too much for my liking.

Please, do not take any of this the wrong way. I am not trying to generalize, I know not everyone/church practice the same way. My views are solely on those that I have come in contact with. Regardless of my annoyances, I am glad that people have something/one to believe and that they are passionate about it. I think its good for people to have something/one to believe in, whatever that may be.
