It's a new year and a new day. Well, actually, right now it's an old year and late in the day. But I'm guessing y'all have other things keeping your attention this New Year's Eve besides my blog. :)
What are you doing to celebrate the New Year? Have you made any resolutions?
So, it's snack night tonight.... speaking of eating healthy. NOT! Yup, pizza rolls, taquitos, hanky panks, mexican layer dip stuff...... all the greasy stuff your heart can handle is on my dinner table. Things 1, 2, and 3 of course think this is just the best night ever. Husband is a happy camper, too.
Be happy, friends. God is good and it's a new year! Plus, I just gave you 2 awesome recipes! ;)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Snow, snow, snow, snow, SNOW!
The point is, I love music and I love singing with other people. When I woke up to shouts of "SNOW!" I dashed out of bed to the window and my first reaction was to sing the song above. But it's much less interesting when I'm singing by myself.... :( Too bad Husband (and his two amazing sisters for that matter) weren't available for a Gase rendition of the snow song.
What are you doing today? I'm going to sit here enjoying a new book (since my Things are happy taking turns playing their bazillions of new wii games) while I snack on turkey and stuffing. Gotta get it out of the house as fast as possible! ;) I like to cut my turkey into bites and mix it in the stuffing. Sort of a casserole-ish thing. Gotta love comfort food! What do you do with your turkey dinner leftovers?
Be happy today, friends. God is good. :)

My First REAL Blog.... EVER!
I know. For a woman who hasn't yet reached the age of 30, I'm seriously behind the times. But I was really tired of Facebook and the life it was sucking out of me. I thought this was a good way to keep people in the loop of my family life without the extra.... "stuff."
So, here we are! Today is the day after Christmas. Does anyone else ever feel just down in the dumps and blah the day after Christmas? I don't remember it being like this in years past, but today was just a downer day. Maybe because it was grey and raining and blechy outside... And yes. Blechy is a word. I spent the day opening toys, cleaning bedrooms, cleaning spaces outside bedrooms, organizing to make space for new things, sorting through what will be sold or donated, and reminding the children to share, be grateful, put toys away when done, help me keep the house clean..... etc etc etc.
Enough of all that hoopty hoo. **BTW - hoopty hoo is my favorite phrase. Ever. It takes the place of any noun I can't think of the word for (such as: "please pass me the..... hoopty hoo" (as I point to the object I can't recall the name of)), as well as describing all things involved in the thing I'm describing (such as: "I just love Christmas! I love setting up the tree and all that hoopty hoo!")
Alright kids, let's lay down the ground rules. I don't mind sharing my life with the world, but I would like to protect my family the best way I know how. I will post pictures of my immediate family and my friends (with their permission). My husband will be called "Husband." Original, eh? I have 3 beautiful children. My oldest, a girl, who is currently 10 years old, will be called "Thing 1." My second, a boy, who is currently 8, will be called? You guessed it. "Thing 2." And number three, another girl, 6 years old going on 16. Yeah, she's "Thing 3" even though there are only 2 Things, according to Dr. Seuss. I like it this way. It's best not to question my thought processes. Just go with it. :)
I hope you enjoy my blog. I don't have a set goal of how often I will update it or anything. We'll just go with the flow, k?
