Found a really simple yummy recipe had to share! We love chicken in our house and i need to find different ways to cook it so we don't get bored. This one came from my 5-ingredients cookbook. It probably took me about 20 mins to do the whole thing. I baked some fries, put lawry spice on it and it complimented it well! 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves 1 cup dry bread crumbs 1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, divided 3 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons butter Flatten chicken to 1/4-in thickness. In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of mustard. In another shallow bowl, combine honey and remaining mustard. Dip chicken in honey-mustard mix, then coat with crumbs. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook chicken in butter on both sides until juices run clear, about 8 mins. Easy and yummy! Enjoy!

O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you. This Psalm is where the song Better is One Day in Your Courts is taken from. The Psalmist realizes that beyond any other place in this world to be in God's presence is the BEST place ever! The verse quoted above is the final verse. Simply saying blessed is the man who trust in you. Blessed because there is peace in Him. Blessed because you know His love and share His love. Blessed because He never leaves you Blessed because He molds you into a better person. Blessed because He is God and ALL in under is command. (even when we don't understand) I am very blessed and thankful for this. Beyond our families money needs He blesses us! Take time to thank God for the blessings he has given you today!! Share the joy! :)

Over the summer i kept seeing this commercial for Match.com where they state that "Today 1 in 5 relationships start over the internet- or dating sites".  I didn't really think that much of it until one day after watching TOO MANY hours of tv i was like yeah right! 1 in 5 that doesn't even sound like a good statistic why would you put that up for your ad? haha I proceeded to think about the 'single ladies' small group i used to host and how there was like 5 or 6 of us in the group and we all are married now, so i started to figure out how we all met our hubbies and THE STATISTIC IS TRUE!! Here is the findings: -names hidden for privacy :) GIRL 1- ME met my hubby at my work place (church) and sorta thru a friend GIRL 2 - Meet her hubby thru a friend who was helping a newly transferred boy at her work get acquainted with her friends and girl 2 caught his eye. GIRL 3- Meet her hubby thru friends and had a long courtship GIRL 4- Had just moved back home with

I have realized that my blogging entry amount each week has really slowed down. I love reading blogs and writing fun stuff to share with you so i was curious as to what has happened. I figured out there are several reasons why. 1. NO JOB-I am no longer working at computer for half the day. Since i have quit work the only time i really sit at the computer is for editing photos. Before i would have my email up all day and researching something for someone. Not anymore. 2. ITS THE IPAD'S FAULT- Since Kimmel got me the iPad i don't need to go to my desktop. I find blogging difficult on the ipad ...no flash. But once i finish checking email and looking at two sites i am done. 3. FIRST TRIMESTER- Was really sleepy and nauseous. The only things i would have to blog about is being sick and tired and the extremely HOT weather....MISERY! haha ( i know i am a wimp) So i am hoping to change this a bit. I am starting to teach piano again so my brain will be stimulated a bit, and i a

Now that summer is gone and Kimmel will have a more 'normal' schedule i can cook dinner again!! He came home one day telling me about this awesome site that Dave Ramsey's  talked about on his radio show that afternoon. It is site that helps with budget and planning of meals! Of course i was excited. A couple of my stay at home mom friends tell me the only way they do well money wise is to plan for the week. So that is my new plan. I checked out this great site... http://e-zmeals.com I got an idea from their form to make my own and probably will wait to purchase the $5 a month recipe and member deal. It looks awesome and i am excited to put my own planning into practice. I have the first week of ideas...we shall see how many we eat and how this helps! Do you have good meal planning sites? Do you have great coupon sites? 

We are happy to announce that we are gonna have a baby come February next year! It has been a crazy three months that would not have been possible without the prayers of some great friends and family members. The journey has begun and we are excited. So no more secrets i will tell you all in the posts to come. For now we are excited and want you to be too!  

Well i just realized that even though the weather is not saying it but summer is heading out. The "summer" of no work and vacation. Well it is life continuing on. Thankfully Kimmel received his job back at the Middle school, so he as been doing coaching stuff during the mornings and afternoons. I will start watching my niece again next week and then start teaching piano at the end of this month. I just feel sad that even though our summer didn't happen they way planned...its now gone. haha 5 Things I love about summer: 1. The Beach (really is year round but always my favorite) 2. The Pool and getting a tan 3. Mental break from some responsibilities. 4. Family Vacation/Travel 5. Movie Matinees With these last few weeks left of summer i hope you get to enjoy the time foot loose and fancy free with your family and friends before we are back in the FALL grind of life. What are some things you love about summer?

One of my goals in the kitchen is to make foods that are Kimmel's favorites. Making things from scratch is a great feeling of accomplishment i think. I really like to cook and try recipes. I like following directions but get disappointed when things don't come out gourmet like haha Last time we drove to Va, mom sent me home with her Bread maker. I was hoping to make bread for sandwiches to save some money, but its such good fresh bread its like specialty bread not sandwich bread so loaves are still bought in the kimmel house. It does give you the option to make dough. I watched my friend Kari make Cinnamon rolls by using her bread maker that i had to get the recipe.  Andrew loves Cinnamon Rolls. So my first attempt went ok. It was loads of fun, but i must figure out the secret to keeping them delicious and not dry. They were yum. One of his favorite foods down....well almost!
