Are you noticing the lack of recipes this week?
Well, that is because there aren’t any.
Gulp. It’s been one of those weeks.

Legoland Discovery Center: Why You Should Go!
LEGOLAND Discovery Center: Why You Should Go!
*I was given free tickets for my family to go to Legoland. All opinions and adventures are my own. You can see what I do and don’t promote here.
I don’t know about you, but we have been crazy busy around here. School, extra curricular activities, blog work, my husband’s work and school and just coupled with the fact we have six people in this household, we stay busy. Really truly, I can’t believe the week has flown by, where did 2016 go, that kind of busy.
We needed a family day.

How To Make Delicious Suppers Fast
Are you a mom on the go? Yes, I am too. I am a stay at home mom, but I don’t seem to be home very often. I still want to gather my family around the supper table despite our busy lives. I have for you How To Make Delicious Suppers Fast.
Groan. Supper time just rolled around and there is nothing, and I mean nothing on the beautiful oak table my step-dad made for us. Nothing but a calendar and some bills that need to be paid.
I just picked up the kids from school and was asked four times what was for supper. After all, the most pressing question of the whole day had to be what mom was making for supper. Recess, PE, lunch time, math class, who could concentrate if the child didn’t know what was for supper!
“Hi, Mom. I had a good day. What’s for supper?”
Does that happen to you too?

Time For 2017 Goals {How Did 2016 Do??}
Last year, I posted my 2016 goals for Baking With Mom. I am not a strict goal setter, as you will read in my previous post, I wanted to try something new and at the end of the year, see how I did.
Not too bad, I think!

Inexpensive Christmas Gifts {Fun And Frugal}
Need Inexpensive Christmas Gifts? It is possible to show people you care without breaking the bank. In fact, many people would say these gifts are even better.
There is a lot of people you would like to give Christmas gifts to this year, isn’t there? I understand. You have Grandmas and Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles, neighbors, teachers, babysitters and of course the UPS driver. I mean, if you could, you would shower everyone you know with a gift!
However, there is a little thing called money standing in your way. It is expensive to buy gifts for everyone on your wish list so what is a person to do? Get creative, that’s what.

Thank You Veterans: You Are Appreciated
We hear the stories, we see the news. However no one can really understand the sacrifice one makes when serving their country unless they have done it themselves.
The sacrifice the wives (or husbands) make waiting for every phone call. The anxious anticipation of news hoping to hear the voice of their loved one. The moms who send their 18 year old’s off on a bus out of their reach, out of their control knowing their child grew up in that moment.
Listening to the word “Hero” be thrown around to everyone and anyone who accomplishes what deems to be a great deed, but knowing deep in your heart your spouse, your child is the hero. Knowing your loved one walked past dead bodies, laid awake at night listening to bombs explode around them and had to shoot another person to save our country.
They are the hero’s. They are the nations great hero’s with little pay and little appreciation except when we see a blurb on the news. This nation is more caught up in our own little cares or latest exciting news stories to remember there are children across this country wishing they could tell their parent goodnight in person. Who are missing the hugs and kisses of mom or dad.
I’m sorry I don’t think of your sacrifices enough. Thank you. Thank you to the ones who risk their lives, who sacrifice their time so I can be safe.
Thank you to the children of these brave men and women for sacrificing their time with their parent so my children can be free and safe.
God bless you. Thank you Veterans: You are appreciated.
