Happy Birthday to Me!




Well, it has been a week and 1 day since I turned 31! Yikes. Well, I feel quite old and all, but I think I have alot to show for my 31 years here on Earth! I have been blessed with a wonderful family, and the best of friends. Have 2 little sweet hearts and married a man I love to be with! I have a good job, nice home....basically thats all I ever asked for...ever really needed. I always knew that I didnt need to be rich (but that would have been nice!), just that I wanted to be happy and live comfortably...and so far I think I have done just that. Life has its ups and downs (last year being a big down), but for the most part I am very happy, mostly because of all the great people in my life!

Anyways, for my big 31, I had to work...boo hoo...but afterward, James, Jadyn, Jenna and my Mom all went to Spinnakers in Oconomowoc for dinner. It was very good! It was the perfect nite to sit outside!(something I just LOVE to do in the Summer!!!) Strolled on the beach for a little afterward...James got me the Wii and Wii Fit! ( I have a feeling he will get more use out of it then me!)

Jadyn likes the Wii....so much that we have had to punish her by taking the Wii away!!! Ha! Ha! I get really into it....the other nite James and I were playing tennis and well there I am swinging away, sweating (need another shower) and I smack the entertainment center! Good thing the controllers have padding around them!!!

Baby Back Ribs - the super easy way!

Image
This turned out to be a super easy way to have delicious baby back ribs during the week.  Normally, I would never attempt anything like this during the week because it would usually be a meal that would require that I  drag out the grill to do.  In this cold - getting really old, Wisconsin winter, I do not want to deal with the grill.  That's James' deal, not mine and if we waited till he got home we wouldn't be eating til 9pm!  (that's bedtime, silly!) Carol's Baby Back Ribs  1 rack of baby back ribs, cut into 3-4 rib sections. Salt/Pepper/Paprika BBQ Sauce In your slow cooker (oh, yes...I did forget to mention it uses the trusty SC) spray the sides down with cooking spray.  Place the ribs in the SC and cook on Low 8-10 hours  (high for 5-6).  After the allowed time to cook, take out ribs and place in pan.  Slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes.   Yup! Its that easy...

Favorite things

2 of my recent additions to my favorite things.  First I will tell you about this product I came to know and actually is perfect for the dry skin our winters cause us to have.   SheaMoisture brand products This stuff in particular is what I am using now.  I use it daily as a facial moisturizer. It is sooo thick I store it upside down and have to take the cap off to squeeze any of it out.  It absorbs quickly and it has oats, aloe and Vitamin E in it to calm skin.  It has a pleasant smell...not too perfumey.  I also have a nice Olive and Green Tea body wash that I am using too. I don't think its for African skin only....I was wondering at first and I do think the company does make a lot of products for African skin and hair....though after looking for pictures online to post of this I am beginning to think I am the only white girl using this product!   The website it pretty nice. www.sheamoisture.com  I will need to check...

Stitch Fix. I tried it.

Image
Well I did it, finally.  I ordered my first Stitch Fix.  I have to say I am a bit disappointed and I was so excited and hopeful.  I did end up with a pair of jeans that I surprisingly like.  Length is long like I like and they are a dark wash.  Nice to have another pair to wear. (I have like 10 pairs, I wear one.)   I did tell MY STYLIST that I do not like short pants.  Too short and I will not wear.  She did take that into consideration and I was happy about that!   What I learned - I need to specify NO BLOUSES.  I do not wear them.  Becky told me they (Stitch Fix) likes blouses.  I do not.  Also, while the dress they sent me when I first looked at it was like UGH, but I tried it on and it was actually ok. But, I am not in the market for a dress right now. So it would hang in the closet. Just a note on the pictures.  I am sick with a nasty cold and really don't have...
