To My Daddy!!

A friend called me the other day to tell me about this new song that she had heard. I finally got a chance today to sit down and listen to it. I have cried my eyes out!! It is one of the most beautiful songs I think I have ever heard. I found the video on YouTube. The embed feature has been disabled. Therefore, I cannot post the video on here directly. All I can do is post the link to YouTube. So please click here and take a minute to watch this video. Really listen to the words... it is BEAUTIFUL!! I Love you Daddy!! No matter what, I will ALWAYS be your little girl.

This was last year... the night before I was going into the hospital to have my daughter.

Great Muffins!!

I had to rearrange the menu plan for this week. I cooked to pancakes tonight and the red beans will be tomorrow night. I had some extra blueberries leftover so I made some homemade blueberry muffins using this recipe. They were delicious. Give them a try!!

Cute Hair Bows!! Check it out!!

Hello Everyone!! I need your help! I buy my daughter's hair bows from a place called Bitty Bows Boutique. It is an awesome place to buy bows!! The owner and creator of Bitty Bows is Kelly R. She began selling the bows in early 2005 when she was on pregnancy bed rest. She has all types of bows. Bow for infants, toddlers, bigger girls, flowers, fruit and animals, and even barrettes. She is having a contest for a $100 gift certificate. And you can help me win it!! All you have to do is click on this link, Bitty Bows Boutique.

I found these bows soon after my daughter was born. She didn't have much hair at all. The infant bows are for "Near Baldies". And let me tell you... they really work!! I have people ask me ALL the time, "How in the world do you get that bow to stay in her hair? Did you glue it?" I jokingly say, "Of course, I glue it!! Just kidding!" And then I precede to tell them that it has a clip on it and it REALLY stays in her hair. I first found these on eBay. And the picture that I saw was of a bow attached to some arm hairs. WOW!! So I thought... I would give them a try since my daughter didn't have much hair anyway. And let me tell you... they REALLY work!! I have continued buying and I will continue buying. She has so many styles and colors to choose from. The options are endless. You can match a bow to ANY outfit your daughter may have. So please do me a favor... even if you have only boys or your children are all grown up now, please tell everyone you know about this. All you (they) need to do is click on one of the links in this post to go directly to the Bitty Bows Boutique website.

This is the GREATEST hair bow that you will ever buy. They are made by a wonderful christian lady who cares about her customers. So please tell everyone you know, post it on your blog, and email people... but make sure they come to MY blog first and then click on the link.

Thanks a Bunch!!

How was the Hula?

Tonight's recipe for MPM was the Hula Chicken with Pineapple BBQ Sauce. I'm not too sure about it... My husband loved it!! I liked it but I think I might have to try it again. It was very easy to make and pretty quick too. I just used instant brown rice. I don't use any rice that takes 45 min to cook. :) There were too many onions in the sauce for me. I'm not too big on onions anyway. I loved the sauce otherwise, especially with the pineapples. I will try it again but we'll just have to see if becomes a household favorite.

M&M Blanket

I have completed my portion of another baby blanket for the Knitting Help Forum that I am a part of. We have recently divided into regions, because the group was getting too large for one person to handle. I was lucky enough to be able to actually start a blanket this time. The name of my blanket is the M&M Blanket. Taken from the beloved treat... M&M's. Every knitter will knit one color from the original M&M bag, red, yellow, green, blue, orange, brown. My color was red. Here are a couple pictures...

We have to include a card with every blanket, but it can't include messages such as "Get Well" and the like. Because some of the recipients of these blankets do not get well. I could not find a blank card that I liked, so I made my own with an M&M theme. I hope you like it!!
