Simple Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
I simply adore chocolate chip cookies. Fresh out of the oven, warm and delicious with a glass of cold milk. This Simple Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe has never failed me. It works every time, and I have baked them more times than I can count!
One of the reasons I love THIS particular chocolate chip cookie recipe so much (there are so many good ones out there) is because it doesn’t require me to have “softened” butter. When I get a cookie craving I do not have time to wait and let the butter SOFTEN! What happens when I have to have softened butter? I try to soften the butter in the microwave and it inevitably ends up melting all over the place which only succeeds in making me MAD and it does not fix my desire to EAT A COOKIE!

Living the Dream
I often feel a bit like Cinderella. Not the Cinderella in this picture above though…… maybe this one is little more like it!
I often feel stressed, constantly cleaning and running and never catching up. I feel under appreciated, dirty, messy, and when I compare myself to others I find myself sadly lacking. Others seem to have it together, their hair is always styled and CLEAN, and their children sweet and well behaved. This of course is not true, I think everyone feels like they just can’t keep up with it all sometimes. We have to be so careful to not compare ourselves to others and to just focus on ourselves and be the best we can be! The truth is that we may feel like Cinderella, in rags and covered in grime, but in reality we are really beautiful and amazing and talented. Some days we just get a little worn down.
Perhaps we just need a little change in our perspective. Look at Cinderella in her rags in this picture, she is happy! So regardless of our daily circumstances, perhaps it is how we view it that makes the difference??!!
So instead of waiting for our Fairy Godmother to swoop in and make our dreams come true, stop and remember that right now your dreams are already coming true!

Beef Enchiladas and Mexican Rice
Mexican food is at the top of my food favorites list. This Beef Enchilada recipe is amazing! It is not a hard recipe to follow, but it definitely has a few steps involved. But…..I hope you will believe me when I say it is totally worth any effort you exert in the making of this meal. 🙂
They are full of flavor, not dry and are so great smeared with sour cream and avocado and salsa. I have tried many a enchilada recipe and Continue reading

Cleaning Tips
A few weeks ago I spoke at our church’s monthly enrichment meeting. This meeting is just for the women at my church, and the monthly topics are focused on helping us to learn and grow spiritually and mentally so we can become the best wives, mothers and women we can be! I really enjoy these enrichment meetings. There is always something to learn, and I love the friendships I have built with the other women there. Those relationships alone are enough of a reason for me to attend!! But I always leave these meetings feeling uplifted and renewed and I usually come away with some type of new knowledge, and I am excited to be even better at my jobs of mom, wife and woman.
So, back to my first sentence. I was asked to give a short 15 min. presentation on cleaning and organizing. Now, if you know me you will know that I do LOVE a clean and organized house! Does that mean that my house IS always clean and organized? Heck no….I wish!!! But I am not going to say no to an assignment talking about cleaning and organizing, that stuff makes me excited like a kid at Christmas. Even if I don’t use all the tips I shared, I wish I did, my life would run way more smoothly.

Cleaning Games
Our house gets messy, I need my kids to help out, but sometimes (okay, more like most of the time:) ) they just do not want to! Making the mess is one thing, cleaning it up is another! I cannot stand the constant fights I have trying to get them to take some responsibility for their messes. My oldest is 7 and lately her most common opinion is that I am only here in her life to boss her around! I feel strongly that my kids need to learn to work and clean and help out in our home. We are a family, and we are a team. Working together is important. Everyone in the household needs to feel a responsibility for the state of our house. But the question is, how to accomplish this? How do I get my kids to want to help out? How do I get cleaning and tidying the house to not be such a dreadful event?
