Feeds 2 adults and 1 infant. I’m not sure if that’s accurate, but adjust how you need.

4 eggs

4 long slices of bacon

1/2 medium bell pepper

1/2 medium onion

handful of your favorite cheese

Dice bell pepper, onion and bacon. Saute in skillet on medium-high until peppers are tender, onions are translucent and bacon is cooked. Wisk eggs and cheese together. Add the egg mixture to skillet and cook until eggs are done. Serve with toast with lots of butter, a steaming cup of coffee and tasty Juicy Juice.

After perusing LAF, I happened upon a story of baby Tait and his Daddy and Mommy.  Here’s a reprint of the story over there.

Little Tait was born on November 6, 2008 at 3:29 pm, a 27 week preemie weighing 2 pounds 9 ounces, and 14¼ inches long. He and his family spent several months in the hospital as God used the doctors to help sustain his life. After 3 months he was allowed to go home and is doing very well.

Tait’s parents, Tait and Lauren Zimmerman now have to pay the neonatology bill. It was originally $186,769 but was negotiated and reduced to $51,644.35. If it isn’t paid by June 4th, it will be raised to the original amount. Tait and Lauren have decided not to accept government support, as this would restrict their control in the care of their little boy.

Why don’t you support this wonderful family with a generous gift- big or small? For Jesus called us to minister to the least of these.

Update: they have received all of their goal! Praise the Lord! Now they are working on negotiating a much, much larger hospital bill!

While the baby naps, dear hubby is at work, the walk on the trail is done, and the last piece of birthday cake eaten [feel free to come over and eat the icing!], it’s now time to blog.  We’ve been blessed with a beautiful day– sun shining, birds chirping, and mowers humming [gas powered, of course]. I put my dahlia on the stoop to catch some rays. It’s a vivid scarlet with rich yellow centers. I had a flu on Saturday into Sunday and was not able to attend church and have my flower raffled off. I must admit that I wanted to win my Mother’s Day flower, only I had to be very, very sick to keep it. It’s still pretty. I’m even going to blog outside today and sit next to Komet. Nevermind, the dogs next door are much more interesting than me.

I forgot to mention that I had an eye exam last week and got a brand-new pair of glasses. They are quite stunning and make me look my age, which is quite a feat. I always have people mistaking me for a teen mother or at least giving me that ‘look.’

New ones

Old ones in silver.

Well, I need to recharge the laundry, read a good book, and enjoy the rest of the day. Until next time,  smile and be thankful.

Yesterday I turned 24– and yet I feel 15. I had a wonderful day with family and friends who doted lots of love on me. Hubby and Kyla took me to Walmart for Rain-X latitude windshield wipers and Mother’s Day gifts. He also surprised me with…a CrochetMaster! It contains all of the steel and aluminum hooks I will ever need. I was speechless when I opened it! I am currently using my G to crochet a baby blanket. *squeal* I also received a Sword Study Bible. It is purple and large print and KJV. It is perfect. I have such a thoughtful husband who really knows me. I love him so.

I also spent a bit of the afternoon using some birthday money purchasing some new skorts. I went to Walmart and returned two skirts that wrinkle so badly. It was obviously cheap material. The woman accidently scanned three instead of two and gave me back $12.66 too much. Though I thought it was a nice birthday present, I would feel horrible if her drawer was short, so I returned the money. She was grateful, though with the way she scanned the return, they would have been short a skort, not money. I wouldn’t want 12 bucks to keep me out of heaven. I went over to JCP to purchase a few more quality skorts [great finds I might add] and found a coupon for 10 dollars off a 50 dollar purchase. I praised God since He was so kind to place that in my path. I found a cute outfit for Kyla and left the store with 3 skorts and a baby outfit for 45 dollars. Now we’ll both be stylin’.

I’m tackling the middle room closet. What are you doing? Keep up your good, tidy work. Your family and you will thank you. OK, get to cleaning already!

What is done:

• Kyla’s closet
• My closet [clothes wise] winter clothes folded, spring/summer clothes hung and sorted by color
• Basement including workshop/computer area- tidy and organized for 20 dollars.
• Kitchen/cupboards/fridge/junk drawer and bill holder
• Living room desk and end table
• Bathrooms are tidy and neatly decorated
• Clothes and books were donated to Goodwill

What needs done:

• Hobby [bottom of closet] stash
• Room [holiday decor] under porch and several boxes of ‘my’ things in basement
• I will go through cosmetics and hair do-dads  as I routinely do.
• Most likely more areas as I remember them!

So this is post 101. I didn’t realize that until the dashboard told me. Since Kyla is napping late, the dog’s sleeping, and I’m finishing up a bowl of Lucky Charms, it’s time to write post 101. Since I’ve last posted Kyla turned one year old! Yikes, this time has flown by so quickly! We had a party for her decked in pinks, sparkles and love. She had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed her carrot cake cupcake complete with cream cheese icing. It was a beautifully [hot] day to love on Kyla and celebrate a big day in her life. I’ve learned so much in this past year that it’s incredible– more than 16 years of public schooling could have ever taught.

We spent today shopping with my mom. We printed our coupons for Michael’s and JCPenney and headed for some great sales. I had gift cards for JCP and spent $.40 [40 cents] for 2 shirts for Kris. They were $6.00/each! I used a 40% off one item coupon on doily yarn. 2 skeins for $4.00. I bought it for mom so she could use her coupon as well.

I suppose I should get into the groove of writing some more inspirational lessons, stories, or something more jazzy than deals. Until then– go home, love your hubby, and stimulate the economy with babies. They’re natural, right?
