This morning the girls and I spent some time
together in our kitchen.

They were great little helpers…
especially when it came time to lick the spoon!

Ever since getting a digital camera I have been terrible at printing pictures.
And by terrible I mean, I only print them if I get a frame and need a picture to put in it.
And even then, it usually takes me months to get my butt into walmart to get them developed.

Well, I decided that we really needed to showcase our pictures more and so I decided to make some canvas collages.

Confession:
I adore pregnant bellies.
It’s true.
I think they are the ultimate in beauty.

My wonderful friend is just a few weeks from her due date and
just being around her makes me want to have another one.
Ahhhhhh!

This chili is sooooo good.
To get my husband to enjoy a meal that doesn’t have meat in it is a real challenge, and this one did just that 🙂
And a big bonus- even after eating leftovers the next day I was still able to freeze two full family meals. Love that.

Now, for the record I was afraid of the corn bread.
For some reason making cornbread has always intimidated me. (I even had to ask a lady at the grocery store where to find the cornmeal. Ha!)
I have no idea what my problem was. It wasn’t even that hard, but boy do I feel accomplished now!
