Finding the Best in Midwest Weekend Getaways
Welcome to the 2nd edition of Random Monday Thoughts… The Social Media Community is unlike any other! This past weekend I attended the Midwest Social Media Summit in Mason City and it was fantastic! Not only did a learn a ton,
Do you ever have one of those new recipes that’s easy and a huge hit in your house?? What a feeling, right?! You feel like you just conquered a demon. Well, for me it came a week or so ago. We got our half beef for the year back in August and then later picked up our dried beef! T has been on a kick to use the dried beef in ways other than sandwiches (just bread, butter, and dried beef for me) or dried beef gravy (chipped beef gravy) over mashed potatoes. I haven’t been quite so determined, but he has been so I decided to appease him.
I decided that I was going to use it to make some sort of stuffed chicken breast. The dried beef has such a strong salty flavor that I was convinced it would liven up chicken. However, now I had a second challenge. T is not really a fan of boneless, skinless chicken breasts because he says they get too dry and don’t have any flavor. (Me on the hand could eat them every meal.) I also wanted to keep the recipe simple and easy to make because that’s how I roll in my busy life. It’s got to be easy or it will only happen once! Here’s what I came up with!
“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD,is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” – Isaiah 12:2
I love it when fellow bloggers try something new and invite others to join! Beth Ann of It’s Just Life is great at doing this! Earlier this year, it was the Dear 16yo Katy letter that was inspired by her and now, 3 is the Number! I thought this was such a fun quick post, that I wanted to join in as well! So, it’s all about the number three today!
Three names I go by:
Three Jobs I’ve had in my life:
A couple weeks ago I shared some random thoughts about life with you…ironically enough that’s just how my life feels right now. Busy and random, so…I decided that I’m going to run Ranom Monday Thoughts each Monday for awhile. I

Ms. Nike and I walk every morning until it’s either too icy or way too cold for me. We talk a lot on our walks…well, I talk and she listens! But, the other day I got to thinking that maybe we can learn a lot from our dogs (or any pets)! And so, I give you Life Lessons by Nike!
I love fish! I love fish if it’s grilled, baked, fried, in fish tacos, tuna fish sandwiches and I could go on and on about how much I love fish! We do not eat enough fish for my liking and that’s mainly because T is incredibly picky when it comes to fish! Due to his pickiness I’ve baked and fried fish several different ways to no avail! 🙁 Up until now, he’s only liked my uncles fresh fried fish, but don’t worry, I knew I would prevail! 😉
I have been craving fish for so long that I decided I would tackle the fish beast one more time! So last week, I thawed out my Tilapia filets and threw together a quick breading, fried those filets up and…SUCCESS!
Thanks to you my readers and those that commented, I am delivering a check for $25 to the Franklin County Youth for Christ! Thank you so much! Stay tuned for a new Comment for a Cause in a month or
I realized the other day that I talk a lot about the struggles of being a step-parent, but there are so many amazing things about being a step-parent that I think they deserve some recognition too.
I’m going to do these as a count-down, so without further ado…
5. I get time “off”. I know that might sound heartless, but if you’re a parent, you know that there are times that you just need to breathe and have some time for yourself or time alone with your spouse. It has nothing to with your feelings towards the children, but reality is…I get built in “time off” and I cherish the time alone with T!
