Random Pretty Things
My youngest graduated from pre-school last Friday. On Wednesday, as I picked him up and was walking to the car, it hit me! I started crying like a baby! All I kept thinking was that this is the last time that I will ever be picking one of my boys up from pre-school. In September they are all gone...all day. It's going to be a big adjustment for me.
But anyway, I've had some of these pretty pictures in my camera and thought that while you listen to me whine, I can at least leave you with some pretty pictures!
I am going to New Jersey tomorrow to visit my cousin. I can't wait! He's a great cook and is so much fun to be around. My aunt is also coming for the visit which is an extra treat for me. I am going to do some baking now and am trying a new recipe...wish me luck!

"Green"

This old sign actually says "fleamarket"
My little guy had his cast taken off yesterday and his pins removed. I have a new found respect for people with casts. I took the boys to a fair on Saturday and didn't know that you can't go on the rides with a cast on. Poor kid! But I have to say that he never complained about it once...not once. My husband and I were so impressed. He has to go for therapy two times a week for the next few weeks but I'm just happy it's off since it's been 95 degrees here! But just FYI...If your kid ever gets a cast removed...hold your nose!
I'm not staying on today...My youngest son's last day of pre-k is today (he graduates on Friday) so those 2 1/2 hours are basically my last moments of freedom until September. I'm getting a much needed pedicure!
Have a nice day!

Mini Journals
I have never really had much of an interest in journals. I have store bought ones but never had the desire to make my own. And then I started seeing some really beautiful ones through some swaps, Etsy, etc. But lately I don't know what's come over me. Not only do I keep buying them but I keep making them!
For some reason I'm lovin' these mini notebooks right now. Maybe because they are smaller and easier to start with. Last night I had so much fun making them and now have them listed in my store. I still have a few more to finish and then I am on to some larger ones. Guess what the teachers are getting as gifts this year?
So see, like anything, you'll never know unless you try!

Seeing "red"

Sunday....
So far, Sunday was the most beautiful day we've had so far. Is spring finally coming? In the early morning was my youngest son's last soccer game...
I love in my food. You can use a decent amount and it's never to spicy or peppery. The salt (not too much) is great on corn on the cob also! 
Whenever there is a holiday or occasion in my family, I'm in charge of the mashed potatoes. I use the usual milk and butter but also add a little of this salad dressing seasoning. Also great on grilled vegetables! Another great addition to mashed potatoes is some stuffing mix. Might sound strange but try it...trust me!
Sometimes I might also add French's onions to the potatoes or even crush some and just sprinkle them on top. But I also love to use them in salads!
Salads are one of my favorite foods! I love to put just about anything in a salad for extra flavor and texture and these onions are just perfect for that. My best friend and her husband own an Italian restaurant and they just started using them in their salads.
Those are some of my cooking tips for now. If you try them, let me know what you think!
