Not sure what got into me this weekend, but I was super productive. Could be that the house was already clean, I didn't have a million different places to be, or maybe because I only had 1 child home with me...

But I did a little scrapbooking- I just picked out some pictures that I wanted to scrap and just slapped them down on paper. Didn't do too much journaling. I had some really cool paper & things that I bought at Nora's "garage sale", oh about 1+ years ago (I think).  I don't care if my paper/design is out of date....



I also made a recipe that I found on Pinterest...Cauliflower Pizza crust. It was actually very good. Even Mark & Riley liked it. I think I may have overdosed on it though. I made two "crusts" and we ate them both. Instead of using sauce I used artichoke antipasto from Trader's, and roasted asparagus for my topping. It was yummy.
I also did some painting- when I am finished with those projects I will post. I will have to say that painting chalkboard paint on a ceramic plate wasn't as easy as I thought- or I am just way too much of a perfectionist....??!

I found this picture on Pinterest.  This is just like the set up of our laundry room.  Love the color in there and I LOVE the shelf.  Need to have Mark add that to our list of things "to do".

Isn't he "pretty"?  The other night when I got home from boot camp- I was greeted at the door by Jake.  Seems Riley was using him as her make up & hair model.  Too Funny.  I can't believe Jake actually let her do this, let alone take his picture.  Oh, and he is wearing a dress....lol.

I am almost finished with boot camp.  If I am brave enough, I may show you the before & after pictures...maybe.

I am making this for dinner tonight- I am really not supposed to have carbs after 3:00, but I don't know what else to eat.  I will see if I get in "trouble" on Friday and have to do push-ups in front of my boot camp class.  At this point- I do not care!  May even have to have a glass of wine...;)

Sweet & Spicy Bacon Wrapped Chicken
(her photo, not mine)


Made this last night, it was a hit with the family, although they said it wasn't spicy.  I wouldn't know as I didn't touch the stuff.  They told me to keep the recipe.  :)  So you know it was good.


I found it on Pinterest, of course-  here
