Chocolate - cookies, cake, & pudding oh my!

Please let me know how this site works out. I "found"it and have been dying to try everything chocolate, (pretty much) but since Halloween (dang you cheap chocolate!) I've had to resist the temptation for now.
Just look at the pics below - hot chocolate, pudding  and even those cakes you can buy prepackaged!

Clean Waffles - Yum!

Kids tried and true -

This comes from The Gracious Pantry:



I made mine with just whole wheat flour, considered grinding up my wheat in my super blender but decided to use up what I already had…check out her site to get the full recipe. They tasted fabulous and …no fat people!  This is a low down on what Tiffany's recipe calls for. (Remember to use a natural sweetening source when sitting down to have a bite: - maple sugar or honey and not too much if you're eating clean and shrinking your waistline)

  •  whole wheat flour
  •  milk 
  •  egg whites
  •  vanilla
  •  cinnamon
  •  baking powder


She also has many other recipes 
listed. Just in the 'waffle" department she has: sweet potato waffles, gingerbread (can't wait to check that out), almond lemony blueberry, Belgian, protein powder, even clean brownie waffles. I will be returning to her site for sure!

Megan Nicole

My kids really like this young lady. She sings other peoples songs and changes the "bad" words into something cute. She also has some of her own songs. The videos are very professional. Just take a look…

I believe this one is her own song…



My kids thought this was so fun!


Here's her link. She is such a cutie! Megan Nicole

The Art of Being a Woman

My husband and I watched "Chasing Mavericks" and when it was over I found myself crying. Selfishly crying.

Sometimes I stop and recognize that my life is "going on" without him. Other days his memory hits me so hard it throws me and I come crashing down. This boy, this character, reminded me of my Brian. Always smiling, seeing the positive, the good in others, knowing how we (him and I) were meant to be together, (his curly hair), a love for life, adventurous - and even when the negative bullies were cruel in his life he was still kind to them, encouraging them to "ride the wave". Interesting how in my life I have said that we "ride the wave of grief".

Being a woman is glorious. We are emotional and sensitive and these can feel like a blessing and a curse. If we did not cry and hurt - would we see the good in others? Would we reach out and help someone else who is crying? Good women are helpful and sincere.

I have been reaching out to people in my life more. I have moved past the prideful days of negative hurt and expectation. (That does not say it will not try and hit me again and tempt me) I was the girl/woman who sat hurting in the back wanting someone to reach out and help me up, talk to me and listen, but then rejecting them and finding fault. We are all here to learn and grow. I feel I am growing now. I feel the need to reach out, to help others and get them talking. When we open up, truly, without embarrassment is when we connect. As women, (and obviously I am not a man so I cannot speak on their behalf) when we share is when we connect and when we connect is when we can help.

People die everyday.  Friends get sick and suffer. Neighbours and loved ones suffer from emotional "stuff" and hide away. I have found that we are all so much a like. The secret emotional thoughts you may have had, someone else may have felt that too, even if, when looking at them they seem so "put together" and maybe they are. Have you considered that they may have come from a dark and hurtful place but have risen above? Are conquering the adversary? Are recognizing their self worth? And maybe they may have something they could share with you too? Help you to rise above so that in turn you can help another in the future?

What a beautiful place we live in. If I could be so bold to everyone out there it would be for you to pray and ask - "help me to be all that I was sent here to be". If we all shared, if we all connected, if we all lived by just the simple 10 commandments or better yet even the simple golden rule of : "Do unto others as you would have done unto you",  also  "LOVE ONE ANOTHER", wow! What a more glorious place to live!

Remember, let's be happy on this journey! =>
