  I recently came up with a new idea. I wanted a container to hold all of my (birthday, anniversary, graduation, christmas) greeting cards for the year. I was going to purchase one online, but they were all to small. My family is huge and that little box I saw was not going to hold all those greetings.

My husband loved it and my 17 year old daughter as well. We will definetly be making this again in the near future. It was delicious!

We adopted two adorable little kittens from our local Animal Shelter.  With kitten season, they had more cats in need then ever. Meet Rumor and Trouble Picture above is my son Sebastian and I holding the new kittens.

boleslawiec polish pottery   Today I did something random. I scrolled through our local buy & sale local online advertising, found an inexpensive table and two chairs for my sons place. It was a cute little round wooden table that will fit nicely into is snug fitting kitchen. I was very proud of myself for finding it. But that is not all, while at the yard sale-ran by a nice little German lady-my husband discovered a table full of polish pottery. These will be the perfect dishes for our next christmas party. Awesome new pattern with little stars by Ceramika WIZA - Polish pottery :) Love this new collection! Classic Star pattern:

I received my first ever "Happy Mail" from Kyra Pace . I love it! I have received mail in the past through penpals and Friendship books ( FB's ). This is my first time ever receiving "Happy Mail"! I was so excited! Thank-you Kyra! Happy mail is simply mail that makes you happy. In this case, Kyra a very creative and talented artist from the Netherlands -  made a beautiful butterfly greeting card.  She also enclosed some paper and stickers for me to use for journaling and /or art. I already have an idea of what I'm going to do with the items. See " here "

Meatless Monday can be easy. In place of meat , look for foods that contain protein such as: beans, legumes, nuts, seeds and "yes" eggs are okay.  It's important to start your day with breakfast. Today I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with my youngest daughter Kirstin. The breafast we chose was not the healthiest but it fit into our Meatless Monday and it tasted yummy.    Lunch: Snack: Dinner: Zucchini Meatballs Found this recipe on Pinterest and it was delicious. The recipe recommended to create 12 zucchini balls. I thought they were a little big and ended up a little mushy in the middle. I would recommend smaller balls, so that the insides are more firm.  Grill Cheese & Tomato Soup: Food Oxalates Unknown Zero Low Medium High Tomato Soup Yes X White Bread Yes X American Cheese Yes ...
