Menu Mondays: June17-23

 I don't know what is about Summer and Mexican Food, 

but it seems to go together like: 

• peanut butter & jelly, 
• cereal & milk, 
•  kool aid & sugar, 

it just fits! 

I love the unique taste of cilantro, the tang of lime, 
smokey heat of the chipotle tempered with the cool 
& creamy finish of an avocado!

Yum, YUM! If you love Mexican food like my family does you will appreciate this week's menu!

New Posts to COME!! PROMISE!!!!

Ok my loyal followers, I apologize upfront for not posting as regularly as I have in the past. I made a schedule this week so I can keep all my projects running smoothly and each one gets a piece of my attention and I get to SLEEP occasionally even! How cool is that?

I am sure every mother has this dilemma when you have one child that is exceptionally ahead the learning curve 

and the other one is delayed across the board, 

you get split in 2 and end up feeling guilty no matter which child you give attention to the other is needed you too.

The Magical Baby Girl and The Brokenhearted Woman

This is the story I tell my daughter every year about her birth story, the essence of the story is true, my hubby and I waited nearly a decade for the promise of parenthood to be fulfilled. 2 & 1/2 years before Kissi was born we suffered the loss of 3 babies consecutively and the heartache and loss nearly swept us away. It was only the loving hands of our Lord that kept us intact and the lessons we learned during those lean years still aid us in our walk today....

Creamy Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup

This is Soooooooooo Good!
