First Snowfall!

Our kids enjoyed the first snowfall of the year (YES in their TANKTOPS/sleeveless shirts) with their GREAT Aunt Marie. She taught them how to catch snowflakes on their tongues. It was pretty much the cutest thing I've seen!

Brining a Turkey

Brining is the Cat's BUTT!!!

If you haven't done it, you really need to try it. We brined out turkey for Thanksgiving. You can also brine seafood , chicken, so many things!!!

Epicure sells Brining Kits , so if you're interested let me know!!

Hubby? Where???

Right now, the kids and I are in run of the house. Jared is off in Alberta picking up a rig (that isn't his, but what does that matter), well if you're US it does...b/c in two weeks he has to turn around and go BACK to Alberta to get HIS rig!!! OY
Our week has been uneventful...Weather has really started getting cold and we are preparing for Winter's arrival...I suspect that this year will be much colder than the past few.
Hockey season is around the corner, Fall photo op's are quickly dispersing, especially with Jared being away. Snow is forecasted for tomorrow!! Arggh did we even get a summer?

I hope you will all stay tuned, as my mom ROCKS and kept some funny elemtary journals..And I intend to blog some of them in the future!

If you weren't inspired by this story a year ago...You really need to be!!!

I watched her and her hubby on Oprah today ( I KNEW she was going to be on Oprah, as on her blog, she said she had to go for chicago for a SECRET...I just knew it could none other than Oprah!!!)

Honestly, she is the Mom we all wish we could be, the mom we all want, and the mom that God sent to this world for a reason!!!

She can handle anything and everything she is handed to her, God proved that by her airplane crash.

Stephanie is definetly a Dream Mom, and I wish her the best in her recovery!!!
