I woke up and found my little sweetness still asleep. I selfishly woke her up for some snuggles. She whispered a, āMamaā as she climbed in beside me.
Must be a happy day.
We decided to not to get up, but instead we decided to nibble on each otherās sweetness. Haha! She said I tasted sweet.
Must be a happy day.
We got up with giggles and hugs; as I carried her to the kitchen to fill our bellies up with good food.
Must be a happy day.
My breakfast smiled back up at me. My little sweetness is eating her food. Iām enjoying some delicious leftover cut up strawberries.
Must be a happy day.
The sun is shining. Itās supposed to be a nice 70Ā° day. With all the rain we have been getting it looks like Ireland here. I feel blessed.
Today is definitely a happy day. ā¤ļø
ā¦
Have a wonder day;full of sweetness, giggles, and hugs.
The honey made a smiley face. I caught it before smearing it. Haha š
I have been craving corn dogs. Must be a pregnancy thing. Because itās usually my husband who is. But I decided to try making them myself.
I am now someone who will attempt to make it myself first. Itās cheaper!
A recipe from Pinterest.
Watching food videos with my daughter before bedtime has some perks. Even though it is evil to have to see delicious food before sleeping.
But first I had to gather all the ingredientsā¦
Also the hubby wanted fries to go along with the dinner. Since I was already going to fry the corn dogs it wasnāt too much extra work.
I boil the fries 7min before starting the frying process. It gives them that soft inside and crunchy shell. šThe normal pot was for boiling. Big Red is my new best frying friend!! š
Pat the hotdogs dry and skewer them! Death to the hotdogs!! Mwahahahahahaha!!
I just noticed my socksā¦they matchā¦.! The weather is going to change. š³
I double fry the fries. First round is for 6min. I did all the groups of fries. Since I use the bare minimum oil I have to do several rounds.
Letās start the corn dogs!!
Dip dip dip. Oh so cute and chubby!!! Hopefully they taste good. The baking powder is what makes them fluff up.
I had to add about 1 cup of oilā¦it seemed so wastefulā¦I think the most I used nowadays is 1/3 of a cup.
The recipe said I could do up to 3 at a time, but since itās my first time; I decided to do 1.
Yummy! The husband did the taste testā¦ he said it was miserable as he gobbled it down. š
Even I got input from the opinionated daughterā¦
She approved!!
Next was another round of fries. Then my own opinionā¦
I like the mixture of ketchup and mustardā¦Iām all alone in my small familyā¦
Looks like Photo: maybe 8. The pictures make theirs look picture perfect. Mine were imperfect, but the taste wasā¦
Taste: 10! At firstā¦ Then after one corn dog, my husband and I discovered they are extremely greasy. We donāt really eat super greasy foods anymore. They are too heavy. My fries are probably our limit. Iāll be trying an air frying recipe next time.
Easiness: 10! It was a super easy recipe. Iām bummed that I wonāt be making it again, but if your stomach is not as sensitive; this is a perfect recipe. Hopefully the air fryer recipe is just as easy.
Iām currently munching on carrots to help settle my stomach. š
Overall: It was delicious as we ate it! Just the aftermath is hitting us. Elizabeth liked it though. Even though she probably would have filled herself up on carrots and ranch if we let her. Haha š
We decided to completely change the layout of our house… now three days ago…š„ø
Haha! I mean completely! We moved our bedroom from the second floor to the basement. My art room from the basement to the living room. Eliās bedroom from the second floor to the basement. The guest bedroom from the basement to the second floor.
The hubbyās āman caveā (more of a desk area) from the living room to the second floor; he now has an official man cave. He is super stoked!
All around it is now a better layout. We also get all the luxuries that we initially wanted. A bedroom with a bathroom attached. Laundry on the same floor as our bedrooms. And a man cave for the hubby.
But it meant carrying our king mattress down two floors and a queen mattress up two floors…š³ it was a lot! Iām amazed the hubby did not strangle me, as he tried to direct me and I was hearing the opposite. Haha!
Iām sore and exhausted. But I still have organizing to do! Which I like organizing! I would say it is a guilty pleasure. Especially now, since our house is completely flipped, I will be happy and content with all my new projects!!
Hope your life has not been completely flipped, but change it up and do something new today! It might just surprise you! š
Itās a great feeling when someone doubts you, and you prove them wrong exponentially.
We had a project of doing our concrete patio slab. And originally my husband was going to do it himself, but someone said we should have a team of five guys helping…so of course five guys turned into me with the baby on my chest.
And you must know I have never done concrete work before. He woke me up 20min before the truck was showing up saying he is going to need some help.
But the truck driver also was surprised that my husband didnāt have extra help, and was more surprised when I was there to help with a baby strapped to my front. The man also said that it would be an all day project.
However, much to his dismay, we got it all spread out in one hour. The truck got there at 9:30 and left at 11:00. Haha āall day projectā nope.
So I guess my husband, me and the baby is enough to do 450 sq feet. I felt super spiffy.
So now that man can go back to his business astonished; and if he ever sees workers slacking off he can tell them about the time he saw a husband and his wife, with the baby, do a patio slab themselves.
Mwahahahahah!!!
The driveway is the next project, and that will be easier. š
āLove is a complicated thingāā¦thatās what most people say.
I donāt; fake love, forced love, or even a wanted love that God indicates itās not the right time, of course, are complicated. Believing that love is there when itās blatantly not, is always complicated. Or forced loveā¦forced love is almost exactly like fake love but it feels worse. Because if it has to be forced, then occasionally the other person is not faithful, or they are manipulating you for their own gain. But the one that got me countless times was the wanted loveā¦wanting, but God implying it was not the one for you or that it is not the time. Wanting something so badly and constantly being shut down or cut off, also, if you ignore the signs given to you, you result to either fake or forced.
But donāt fret; there are many roosters in the world, but to find one that is loyal you must have outside help. For me when the right rooster came along it was easy; we were perfect. It had its ups and downs but my rooster stayed with me through the toughest of times. God helped me find my rooster and without His help, I was only finding fake or manipulating ones.
Now my rooster and I have been married almost 6 months, and we are thinking about having some miniature ones. It wonāt be until we are a little more settled, but soon, we will have baby chickens or roosters running around.ā¤ļø
I know this post is a little odd, but I wanted to tie in the daily prompt to my daily drawingsā¦I wonāt do this every day, but I thought it would be fun for a while.
