This summer is going by so quickly!!! It is blowing my mind. I was able to actually find time to finish my website today. I still need to produce more content on it but I was able to get it fully up and running! http://www.embracingtheimpossible.com
Also this week I have truly fallen in love with Pinterest! It is the ultimate guide to anything….literally lol! Here are tons of pictures for you to enjoy of our summer so far!
The seasons have changed, the grass is greener, the sky is brighter, and the kids are out! Yes, Summer has officially begun!!! Personally I can’t believe how much time has flown by this year. It seems like it was only Yesterday that we were celebrating Christmas and now here it is almost Memorial Day.
Planning fun outside activities with the family, like picnics and park trips are great ways to connect with your family. I have been trying to incorporate a lot of water play with the kids to keep them cool as they play outside in the heat. Having chalk, bubbles, and crafts available for the kids help alleviate boredom and build on their creativity. On another note though, boredom isn’t a bad hint to have. When children are bored they are able to use their imagination which I feel is a great way to help your child build character and think outside the box.
I know it has been a while since I have written and I apologize about that. There has been a whole lot of crazy going on and I decided to take a step back and take a breather. Sometimes we need to take a step back and just breathe.
This week VBS started and it has been an AMAZING week :)! I am really nervous though, this week we are hoping to find out if we will get a house that we are trying to buy. That has a lot to do with my stress level recently.
I have been focusing on my Jamberry and Avon businesses. It has been a great way for me to be productive in my free time and meet new people. Also I have been working on my Dystopian Novel as well, hopefully I will have it finished by early August. So I have been trying to keep myself busy throughout the chaos of summer.
Summer comes with its ups and its downs lol. There is never a dull moment at my house that is for sure. My four kids love to keep my world entertained and it is great. Recently my daughter has discovered her creative side and has been drawing a lot more. It is so sweet to watch them develop new skills and find themselves. They are truly my world!
Taco soup has become a family favorite or at least with me and the kids it has. I think I have driven my husband, Bj, crazy because we have had it so much recently. It is a great soup for the winter though, especially on the very cold nights!!! Here is the recipe if you would like to give it a try or just to have the recipe on hand!
Here is a simple recipe that I find very convenient. TACO SOUP!!!!
I normally get the following:
2 cans of light or dark kidney beans
2 cans of corn
2 cans of tomatoes
1 can of rotel tomatoes
1 packet of ranch powder
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 lb of ground beef
First you need to brown the meat! Then you add the rest of the ingredients. Put the temperature on about 3 and stir. Once hot you can begin to eat or you can let it cook all day. Hope you enjoy!!!
