It is a great basic recipe. I want to continue to tweak it. </p><p><b>Ingredients:</b></p><p>Choice of veggies. We used onions, carrots, and peas.</p><p>2 packs of ramen</p><p>1 cup of water or chicken stock</p><p>4 Tbsp soy sauce (1 for chicken, 3 for end sauce)</p><p>1 tsp sesame oil</p><p>Optional toppings: Fried egg, sliced green onions, sriracha sauce.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sautéed the vegetables for a couple of minutes and then deglazed the pan with the chicken stock. I threw in some precooked chicken and the broken chunks of noodles. I cooked it on high for one minute and then did a quick pressure release. I added the sesame oil and soy sauce and gave it a gentle stir. After letting it rest for five minutes it was dished into bowls. Grown-ups got a fried egg and some sliced green onions. </p>Mrs. Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18420914503608188696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874105349046324000.post-43499750375954451662020-10-01T09:09:00.000-07:002020-10-01T09:09:01.639-07:00Stovetop Granola<p>I like to make a double batch of this.

Combine butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a pan over low heat on the stove. Cook mixture for one minute then add in toasted oats. Cook and stir mixture for 3-4 minutes. Add 1/3 cup of desired fixings and cook for one more minute. Spread end mixture on cookie sheet and return to warmed oven for 15-30 minutes. (The oven should be warm from broiling, but not on.) This helps the granola crisp up. Keep in an air tight container. </p><p>I love my granola sprinkled over yogurt. Sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, and raisins are my favorite combo. What would you add to your granola?</p>Mrs. Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18420914503608188696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874105349046324000.post-9890181993901453692020-05-26T21:40:00.000-07:002020-05-26T21:40:19.792-07:00Quick GumboRecipe from Amanda Adams:<br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Preheat oven to 375 degrees.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Cream together 2 minutes:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
2 c. sugar</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
1 c. butter, softened</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
1/2 c. shortening</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Add:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
3 eggs</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Mix in:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
1 1/2 tsp. each baking soda, baking powder, salt</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
5 c. flour</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Scoop or roll dough into 1.5 inch balls, then roll balls in sugar. Regular sugar works, but I like coarse sugar better. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Smash them flat. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-11 minutes. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Notes:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
These freeze well. I put them in a small container with wax paper between.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
The key to making these cookies taste fantastic is to underbake them a decent amount--no hint of brown except maybe on the very bottom. If they get fully baked, they're crumbly and dry and sad. Pull them out while they still look puffy and a little doughy and you think they're not done yet. Move them to a rack after a few minutes, then let them cool into chewy, buttery, yummy cookies.</div>

There are days I am not sure I am going to make it until my husband gets home and I can tap out of being on call constantly. Some are gospel themed, some are not. They all bring a smile to my face and help zap me out of my funk for a couple of minutes and give me the power to keep going.<br />

(I can't find the pin. Anyone know where I saw this awesome idea?) You then plug those numbers into your calendar. It's easy to move things around, and you have a great list to choose from depending on what you have on hand and what is on sale that week. This is the start of my list.<br />

At the time I was newly married, had a six month old and was a SAHM. My life has changed quite a bit since then. I now have two beautiful children with another on the way. They keep me busy. And while it may not seem like I am accomplishing a lot, I feel like I am making a difference. Some of these goals were fun, others unattainable, and the rest were a challenge. I didn't get all 99, but honestly this was more about my progress as an individual. I always have a list of goals going, but I think 99 might be a bit much.<br />
<br />
Here is my account of what I did and didn't accomplish:<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small; text-indent: -0.25in;">The Big Idea: Set 99 goals to accomplish in the next 999 days. Each time you accomplish a goal you set aside a dollar for the charity of your choice. </span></div>

It's also been on my <a href="http://wellbalancedwife.blogspot.com/p/99-goals-in-999-days.html">99 goal list</a>. If you have no idea what I'm talking about I'm going to let you in on a simple secret. Taiyaki are fish shaped waffles with delicious fillings. My favorite is an (a sweet bean paste.) But my husband's new favorite is Nutella and banana.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We got a great recipe online <a href="http://mamaloli.com/recipes/dessert/taiyaki-recipe/">here</a>. You can get your own pan online <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NEFELO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B009NEFELO&linkCode=as2&tag=liwimrl-20&linkId=SGETFKTFZHAVNQXL">here</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Look at how delicious they turned out:<br />
<br />

<br /></div>

We will definitely be making these again. Some of our favorite fillings are chocolate pudding, Nutella and banana, an, and cookie butter. Mmm. We need to make them again soon.</div>

I bought close to two pounds and waited impatiently for them to ripen. Once they did I pulled out my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002WSQHU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0002WSQHU&linkCode=as2&tag=liwimrl-20&linkId=5WT72LLZSFKI3Q2D">dehydrator</a> for the first time. I've had it for a while. But using it just seemed so scary I kept putting it off. After my first experience I can't wait to try using it again. My husband is requesting jerky. So I guess that is next on my list of things to try.<br />
<br />
Apricot Fruit Leather<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Wash 2 lb. of apricots</li>
<li>Remove pits, slice into quarters, throw in blender</li>
<li>Add a dash of lemon juice</li>
<li>Blend until smooth</li>
<li>Pour mixture into two fruit leather sleeves in your dehydrator</li>
<li>Cook on 135* for 5-8 hours</li>
<li>Remove from dehydrator when there are no wet or sticky spots</li>
<li>Place on wax paper</li>
<li>Roll up and cut with kitchen shears</li>
<li>Store in an airtight container</li>
<li>Enjoy</li>
</ul>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I can't wait for more fruit to go on sale so I can try different combinations. My house smelled amazing all day long. I was in heaven. Next time I might try some pineapple or banana. My leather took close to 8 hours, but I poured one batch slightly fuller than the other. My son loved when I cut him off small pieces and my husband ate a whole roll by himself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One more goal off my list. I need to step it up if I want to finish all 99 before February 25, 2016. Next up is goal 94. I'm so excited to go on a cruise. You can check out why I'm working on 99 goals and my progress <a href="http://wellbalancedwife.blogspot.com/p/99-goals-in-999-days.html">here</a>.</div>

Now that my baby is a bit bigger and no longer nursing I feel I can go forward with a little bit more enthusiasm. I've signed up for two 5K's in the next 3 months. Because shelling out money for two events might just give me the push I need. Plus I've recruited some friends to run with me.<br />
<br />
Now it's time to start training. I've been using two apps to help me in my journey. The first is well known to runners everywhere. <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nike-gps/id387771637?mt=8">Nike +</a> has been great for encouraging me to run more often. It gives me stats, lets me race friends to a common goal, and gives me a basic guideline to train for a 5K. But it doesn't let me adjust the schedule or give me running/walking intervals.<br />
<br />
That's why I use <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/c25k-5k-trainer-free/id485971733?mt=8">C25K</a> too. It gives you a flexible schedule, running/walking intervals, and it's also free. I start with a 5 minute warm up, run/walk for 20 min, and then cool down for 5 minutes. All it takes is a 30 minute session 3 times a week. The best part? I can run Nike + at the same time to log my speed and distance.<br />
<br />
As I run more often, I can run longer, faster, and stronger. I'm loving how great I feel. Do you have a favorite app?<br />
<br />
What else do you do to stay in shape? This weekend I went on a 20 mile bike ride. I rode up two big hills and lived! I complained all the way up the hill, but Mr. WB kept cheering me on. I was so proud of myself. My efforts to exercise are paying off! Here's a picture from the top of the hill. It was a great day to ride!<br />

Especially since I'm trying to accomplish <a href="http://wellbalancedwife.blogspot.com/p/99-goals-in-999-days.html">99 goals in 999</a> days. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;">I've tried several different types of goal trackers in an attempt to manage all mine. When I look for a goal manager I want something social, easy to use, cheap, and encouraging. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That's why I love </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/lift/id530911645?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4">Lift - Daily Motivation</a>. It manages to accomplish all four of my requirements. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 28px;">Lift can be used with friends or used privately. Sometime not everyone needs to know how much time I spent cleaning. ;) But I do love to get positive reinforcement on crossing things off my list. That little rush is so addicting.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 28px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 28px;">Lift is a breeze to use as well. You can quickly check off your daily goals, add new ones, and delete goals you are finished with. I am a sucker for checklists. So I love being able to check off a goal as soon as I complete it for the day. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 28px;">I also love that Lift has several challenge goals with added support. This month I'm trying the 30 Day plank challenge. It has different steps to help you through each day.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 28px;">Lift is also FREE. Which is one of my favorite words. You can check it out <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/lift/id530911645?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4">here.</a></span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 28px;">I love the daily lift when I accomplish my goals. I love to see my stats and work hard to check into my goal 21 times so that I cross it off and move on to the next goal.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 28px;">Lift didn't ask me to blog about their app. I just really enjoy using it and thought I would share. ;) All opinions are my own.</span></span></span><br />

They make me happy on tough days when all I want to do is eat ice-cream straight from the carton. Having a go to list of recipes you can make in a snap help me eat healthier. I'm working on building my list <a href="http://wellbalancedwife.blogspot.com/p/family-favorites.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Last week I found a pork chop recipe on <a href="http://allrecipes.com/">allrecipes</a> and tweaked it a little to make it my own. I loved these with a simple salad and some mashed potatoes. Next time I will try and get a picture. :)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Pork Chops and Apple Sauce</span></b><br />
2-4 pork chops (Tenderize them to make the pork melt in your mouth.)<br />
Dash of seasoning salt (A dash of salt makes everything taste a little better.)<br />
1. 5 cup of applesauce (<a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sweet-and-Simple-Pork-Chops">Allrecipes</a> has a recipe to make your own applesauce. I cheated and used two cups of apple sauce from the store to save on time.)<br />
1/2 cup of cheddar cheese<br />
Grill<br />
<br />
Tenderize the pork chop, add a dash of seasoning salt, and throw on a hot grill. I used my George Foreman. Cook for 5-10 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your pork chop. Top with applesauce and grated cheese. Continue grilling until cheese is just melted. Enjoy!<br />

Finding a good toddler book for him is not always easy. Some books are too wordy, some too long, and others not interesting enough. So when I find a great book at the library I do a little happy dance and add it to my list of books I love.<br />
<br />
Today I'm sharing part of this list with you, by starting with one of my favorite toddler authors. Sandra Boynton is a well published author I grew up loving as a child. I was super excited to introduce her to Baby K. The fun illustrations, catchy rhymes and silly characters grip you from the very beginning. I love <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sandra-Boynton/e/B000AP9SWQ/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=liwimrl-20" target="_blank">Sandra Boynton</a>, but not all <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=liwimrl-20&l=ur2&o=1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />her books are created equal. Yes I do play favorites. Baby K does as well. I can't even tell you how many times I have read these books in the last year.<br />

My husband can't tell the difference and I feel like we are eating healthier<span style="color: #e69138;">*</span><span style="color: #e69138;">*</span> and spending less money. A win-win in my book. Plus I love his shocked face when I tell him he just ate turkey.<br />
<br />
While I get most of my recipes from Pinterest, occasionally I venture into <a href="http://allrecipes.com/">allrecipes.com</a>. I love that there are hundreds of reviews and different ways of preparing a particular dish. I ALWAYS read the comments because they tell you a lot.<br />
<br />
I started off with <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Incredibly-Cheesy-Turkey-Meatloaf">this recipe</a> and changed it to fit my needs and the advice of the commenters.<br />
<br />
<b>Cheese Loaded Turkey Meatloaf:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 c. milk</li>
<li>1 c. italian bread crumbs <span style="color: #38761d;">***</span></li>
<li>2 eggs</li>
<li>1 tsp. salt</li>
<li>2 cloves of garlic minced</li>
<li>1/2 an onion diced</li>
<li>2 lbs. ground turkey</li>
<li>2 dashes of worchestcheir sauce</li>
<li>1/2 lb. colby jack cheese in small cubes</li>
<li>Ketchup/BBQ sauce for the top</li>
</ul>
<div>
Pour the milk over the breadcrumbs. Let it sit for a minute. <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-small;">This helps your breadcrumbs stay moist and tender.</span></div>
<div>
Preheat oven to 400*</div>
<div>
Place everything but the cheese in a large mixing bowl. Mix well with your hands. </div>
<div>
Fold in the cheese and shape the mixture into 2 loaf pans.</div>
<div>
Pour BBQ or ketchup on top. <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-small;">I tried both and found the BBQ tasted better.</span> </div>
<div>
Place in oven for an hour. </div>
<div>
Make sure your loaf reaches an internal temperature of 165*.</div>
<div>
Enjoy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-small;">*</span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-small;">* </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-small;">The large amount of cheese in this recipe doesn't exactly make it healthy. But we are a work in progress.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-small;">*** I did not have italian breadcrumbs on hand so I found <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/italian-breadcrumbs-206196">this recipe</a> online to make them at home. Super easy and delicious. </span><b> </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Italian Bread Crumbs:</b></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
</div>
<ul>
<li>1 cup plain breadcrumbs</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon garlic powder</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon onion powder <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-small;">I didn't have this either. The onions in the meatloaf seemed adequate for flavor.</span></li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon dried oregano</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon dried basil </li>
</ul>
Mix all ingredients together.<br />
<br />

As I read I can't help but change how I feel about the food I feed my family. I want my boys to eat things that are healthy, delicious, and easy to prepare. Not an easy feat.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yesterday I made some amazing sandwiches. It was easy, fast, and nutritious. I loved them so much I had to share.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDNWSUR9gx4lfg0n4vC5wy-h8B7GuvfhSKr-GX1WYUf5GuYh7TN_gszFljhr2FtBRO7XLChzF7tHtz1QULaeziyeSfWCjSyKiwfWZC5qsCVDQBvFSB6ePEKtr5IsblyqQ5OkV70wtdEJmS/s1600/IMG_0151.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDNWSUR9gx4lfg0n4vC5wy-h8B7GuvfhSKr-GX1WYUf5GuYh7TN_gszFljhr2FtBRO7XLChzF7tHtz1QULaeziyeSfWCjSyKiwfWZC5qsCVDQBvFSB6ePEKtr5IsblyqQ5OkV70wtdEJmS/s320/IMG_0151.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I picked up a simple pork roast at the store, placed it in the crockpot, and poured italian dressing over the top. I let that simmer on low for 4-5 hours. And then I threw it all in the mixer. Did you know if you place cooked meat in the mixer on low it shreds into small delicious pieces? Easiest dinner ever.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While the meat was cooking I started on the bread. It was surprisingly pretty easy. I used this recipe for <a href="http://www.bakedbyjoanna.com/2012/02/italian-herbs-and-cheese-bread.html">Italian Herb and Cheese Bread</a>. I haven't had a lot experience with bread, but it turned out. Look at how pretty it is:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja75s9riEuFZ91Ap0k9ByC7BqGDzMWyWBnXiZIDHVZR7it-5mPOWpprPM6WAK7WnMYr4SA5seTAkDvmeizcvjEyVdt75ACULwsPBq2jDMJl9gVr8jitP6S1YbNWdNT5c3jzGVpqKP1y5ua/s1600/IMG_0128.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja75s9riEuFZ91Ap0k9ByC7BqGDzMWyWBnXiZIDHVZR7it-5mPOWpprPM6WAK7WnMYr4SA5seTAkDvmeizcvjEyVdt75ACULwsPBq2jDMJl9gVr8jitP6S1YbNWdNT5c3jzGVpqKP1y5ua/s320/IMG_0128.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
I sliced up the bread, avocados, tomatoes, and lettuce. Add some delicious shredded pork and dinner was set. We will definitely be making this again. </div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">After seeing several friends develop their own lists of 99 goals to accomplish in 999 days I decided I wanted to join them. Look for updates every now and again on this blog. June 1, 2013 - Feb 25, 2016</span><br />

She has played a huge impact on the person I am today. This last weekend she hit a significant birthday. Since age is only a number she partied in style with a whipped cream pie fight. My husband and I drove down for the event. Mr. WB even took the day off of work. We were so excited!<br />
<br />
We went to the store and cleaned them out of all their whipped cream and vanilla pudding. Then we proceeded to fill over 150 pie pans. It took a good 20 minutes to set up. We counted down and experienced four of the best minutes in my life. I made some amazing memories. Goal 88 is history!<br />
<br />
Watch a video of our craziness <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l1qCJMlxqw&feature=youtu.be">here</a>. Next time we will have two cameras going. Beware the sound is a bit loud.Madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13656938457816829572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874105349046324000.post-9558501334598134382013-07-16T15:00:00.000-07:002013-08-19T13:07:44.488-07:0099 in 999 Days Update 1I've been working on my list of 99 goals in 999 days slowly. You can read the whole list <a href="http://wellbalancedwife.blogspot.com/2013/06/99-goals-in-999-days.html">here</a>. <br />
<br />
<b>Almost done:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Goal 69: Finish two Nike Plus Color Levels. My biggest accomplishment so far is finishing my first Nike plus color level. I've walked over 155 miles. Only 466 more to go. I realize that is a lot. But if I walk a mile every other day I can totally accomplish Goal 69 in the remaining time. If I actually took up running that would be fixed a lot faster. (See goals 65-68.)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<b>Reoccurring goals:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Goal 31: A letter each week. It appears I need to go and buy some more stamps. All I have left are some 37 cent stamps. Not going to cut it. I think Missy is next on my list.</li>
<li>Goal 33: Decluttering my email is a work in progress. I try to unsubscribe from one thing each week.</li>
<li>Goal 40: Saving each month is plugging along too. I'm trying to save all of my TpT earnings.</li>
<li>Goal 41: Blog each week. A rough goal. I tend to blog all at once. I need to do better.</li>
<li>Goal 42: A new recipe every other week. Traveling has made this difficult. Time to get it together.</li>
<li>Goal 43: Serve weekly. I am doing my best.</li>
<li>Goal 45: Extended family member contacted. I saw a lot of extended family on my last road trip. Baby K's great aunts and uncles love him.</li>
<li>Goal 49: Letters of grattitude. Father's day cards count. I'm moving forward.</li>
<li>Goal 52: Read 300 books. I've read 15. And book club just came out with the new list. I'm excited.</li>
<li>Goal 54: I got Mr. WB's brother to take a book home with him after his visit. I was thrilled.</li>
<li>Goal 56: Being social. Mr. WB and I just went and visited The Mysterious Room in Little Tokyo. It was a lot of fun and we can't wait to go back.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Still a lot of things to tackle. I've already used up 44 days. Next on the list is goals 20, 35, and 84. Space bags, condensing teacher supplies, and K's journal.Madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13656938457816829572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874105349046324000.post-8112597083034779432013-06-15T11:00:00.000-07:002013-06-15T11:00:03.671-07:00SuspendI wanted to tell you about one of my favorite party games. It's called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007EA4UBY/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007EA4UBY&linkCode=as2&tag=liwimrl-20">Suspend</a> and it is made by the company Melissa and Doug so you know that it is a quality product. This game was given to me by my brother and we play it at least once a month. It reminds me of a mixture of pick up sticks and Jenga.<br />
<div>

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007EA4UBY/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007EA4UBY&linkCode=as2&tag=liwimrl-20"><img border="0" src="http://ws.assoc-amazon.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B007EA4UBY&Format=_SL160_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=liwimrl-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=liwimrl-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B007EA4UBY" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007EA4UBY/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007EA4UBY&linkCode=as2&tag=liwimrl-20">Suspend</a> is usually our starter game at game nights. It's easy to explain, quick, and a lot of fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Players: 2-8 (When we play with 8 people we place two people on each team. They must alternate turns rolling and placing a piece.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Motive: Be the first one to place all of your pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Rules: Each player is given one of each color rod. On their turn they roll the colored dice to place a piece. They can only use one hand. If any of the pieces fall they are placed into your pile. No rod can touch the ground or rest in the same notch as another rod. If the player rolls a color they do not have, they must use another player's piece. If there are no more rods of that color to place you must skip that turn. If your or someone else places your last piece you win!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This game is a lot of fun. Especially when people try to do some of the challenge moves located in the rules pack. My husband loves to balance the rods very precariously. I try not to be after him, but inevitably knock some of the pieces off. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This game earns 10/10 stars in my book. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

This was the second Wilton Cake Decorating Course also known as F<i>lowers and Cake Design</i>. I am one step closer to confidently decorating my children's cakes.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are my thoughts on the second course. You can see my review and materials needed for <a href="http://wellbalancedwife.blogspot.com/2013/05/wilton-cake-class-part-1.html">course one here</a>. </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Spread the courses out over the course of a year. I am burnt out of decorating cakes. It takes a lot of time and resources to get everything together.</li>
<li>Keep practicing whenever you get the chance.</li>
<li>Check out videos on youtube to review. I really like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/cakedarla">Cake Darla</a>.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Here is schedule of the supplies you will need to complete Course 2. I'm still adding things to my cake tackle box when I get a coupon. I highly recommend this box. It fits almost all of my cake decorating supplies inside.</div>
