Since then my life has changed, for the better. Some days I’m stressed out and going crazy but most of the time it is one great adventure. Every time I hear the sound of my little ones pitter patter feet running down the hall, I know that whatever we are going to do it will be a joy! Part journal, part recipe book, part craft magazine, this blog is about the craziness that is motherhood.JustJesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15026638250763213646noreply@blogger.comBlogger74125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298087733768100077.post-11087021186319250512011-12-02T07:20:00.000-08:002011-12-14T18:50:21.831-08:00Neighbor Gifts- Snowman Boxed Candy<div><div> </div><div>I love to give cute little gifts to my neighbors, mailman, etc. at Christmas time but being on a budget tenders to hinder my GRANDIOS ideas.

Last week, we got our tax return and decided to spurge a little and go out for steak! (You've heard about my obsession with meat so this was perfectly fine by me) We invited Jesse and Serena (like always) and went to <a href="http://www.rubyriver.com/">Ruby River</a>. It was so good. We all had steak but I think the best part of my dinner was the Cinnamon Butter Yam. It was heavenly and I didn't even have the cinnamon butter.

It's been great! I get to use the internet and my "smart" phone (don't get me started on how not smart my "smart" phone is) without having to pay for it. But now the free ride has come to an end. I don't know who disconnected their wi-fi but now I don't have one. Sad! Now I have to pay for it like everyone else. Sorry to say there will be a short break from posts until I get hooked up again. Let's hope it's soon!JustJesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15026638250763213646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298087733768100077.post-23504910285360190372011-04-13T08:00:00.000-07:002011-04-13T08:00:08.724-07:00Wordless Wednesday-Shopping is Hard<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtMCFW5zhs0CdJum4LIpuD42rQYLuYZQRgmRzSzRIYnypC4ZibZWRavvnSLk_YZChNFzK_zfEmernUmj56gnZyEEOX8lua1vQ0TOEwKoHrM2Y2ntAAQUrSNP6hk_p-ziPCL7H5gMxkdAHj/s1600/Shopping+is+hard.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtMCFW5zhs0CdJum4LIpuD42rQYLuYZQRgmRzSzRIYnypC4ZibZWRavvnSLk_YZChNFzK_zfEmernUmj56gnZyEEOX8lua1vQ0TOEwKoHrM2Y2ntAAQUrSNP6hk_p-ziPCL7H5gMxkdAHj/s320/Shopping+is+hard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591839071130128130" border="0" /></a>JustJesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15026638250763213646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298087733768100077.post-36942029979005941752011-04-11T08:00:00.000-07:002011-04-11T08:00:00.327-07:00Cute ClipboardThis year, I decided to start coaching girl's softball. No! I don't have a child playing. No! I don't have a niece playing. No! I don't have even a friend's child playing. I just love the sport and since I am too old to play (and I'm NOT playing slow pitch), I'm coaching. "If you can't play, coach!" Right!<br /><br />Anyways! Tuesday was placement try-outs and I wanted a clipboard to write on. We bought a clipboard from Walmart for $1 and I decided to dress it up and give it so style.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Supplies:<br />Clipboard-$1<br />Mod Podge-$8<br />Scrapbook Paper-$.59 (unless on sale)<br /><br />Difficulty: Easy<br />Time:30 minutes<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNsihN2uPUJw0mynuYaFzH40V5Pn4HFwl8mBxlTbjqyHCfoK5UU5jTWNrVW0SCI5zpzVqNipomJNzWuka05b83z6DUri5p8urrmOAB5fpRb16IuXAYX2dkWnd6eftPzxZPpxDrScOkgEXv/s1600/clipboard.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNsihN2uPUJw0mynuYaFzH40V5Pn4HFwl8mBxlTbjqyHCfoK5UU5jTWNrVW0SCI5zpzVqNipomJNzWuka05b83z6DUri5p8urrmOAB5fpRb16IuXAYX2dkWnd6eftPzxZPpxDrScOkgEXv/s320/clipboard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593406593223407762" border="0" /></a><br />1.

Using a foam brush, paint on an even layer of Mod Podge on the clipboard. Lay your scrapbook paper on the clipboard, making sure that the bottom edge is even. Then paint on an even layer of Mod Podge on top of it. Don't wait for the bottom layer to dry before you do the top. You get more air bubbles that way and (as seen below) when you have an air bubble, you can't get it out.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi72TYfrfuSgd-Xv7q3JurgqPRW0x0NSxZOmyIxeqRnqNqGKF_oNXlRMr_N3t6l32qtHb_i8lHb4qzE1PmcUajq2niPKWJjSZh4f-8seXbSTpPymMSbKPyW5oHNBKjzdHuurlRXppe5thTv/s1600/clipboard4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi72TYfrfuSgd-Xv7q3JurgqPRW0x0NSxZOmyIxeqRnqNqGKF_oNXlRMr_N3t6l32qtHb_i8lHb4qzE1PmcUajq2niPKWJjSZh4f-8seXbSTpPymMSbKPyW5oHNBKjzdHuurlRXppe5thTv/s320/clipboard4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593406586062055682" border="0" /></a><br />4.

I love to be "cutesy". I come up with ideas for holidays, anniversaries, birthdays, even just puns on words. I decided I wanted to do something special for April Fool's Day (I know that this is WAY late but like I told you in an earlier post, giveaway week killed me). I'm not a fan of practical jokes. I just wanted to do something fun so I decided to make a mixed up dinner. We had <a href="http://familyfun.go.com/april-fools-day/april-fools-day-recipes/colorful-cupcakes-686085/">cupcakes</a> for dinner and <a href="http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Faux-Chicken-Nuggets">chicken nuggets</a> for dessert.

Jesse at one and said, "Hey that's not chicken nuggets!" It was a fun. The Nuggets are pound cake dipped in a glaze and rolled in crushed peanuts. It was super sweet but still fun. The Cupcakes are meat loaf with mashed potatoes on top. Jesse said that these were the only cupcakes he's ever liked. Now I guess I have to make them for his birthday every year! :) Just a fun idea for new April Fool's Day!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjml3-vLsK2LGviF8Kb0g9Ly-fXifzTwQFW5WCxzlJmymM0CWcP5Hohc9XeHDVz4nop5QENDgCzh801zjX7Xl7q7fqlGhzFCP7kSLBkZWTZE79n4TelvvVqhqU3c0AC7cJ164uVbv2U7Anz/s1600/aprilfools2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjml3-vLsK2LGviF8Kb0g9Ly-fXifzTwQFW5WCxzlJmymM0CWcP5Hohc9XeHDVz4nop5QENDgCzh801zjX7Xl7q7fqlGhzFCP7kSLBkZWTZE79n4TelvvVqhqU3c0AC7cJ164uVbv2U7Anz/s320/aprilfools2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593256201689292850" border="0" /></a>JustJesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15026638250763213646noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298087733768100077.post-90275283316425813642011-04-08T08:00:00.000-07:002011-04-08T08:00:08.428-07:00Fun Fridays- BowlingThe weekend of my birthday, my dad and step mom came up from Vegas for a visit. We had so much fun! We shopped and played and ate and laughed and talked. We had such a great time, I didn't want it to end! One of the fun activities we did was bowling. The hubby LOVES bowling and always tells me that while he was on his mission, he went bowling every week on this prep day.

We all had a great time. Zoom Zoom won and then it was Me, Nanny, Nate, and G (though he was better the majority of us for a long time). If you haven't been bowling for a while, grab the kiddos and go.
