I have been very sick with bronchitis. I feel so much better and hope to be back to my old self soon. I am making those chicken and dumplings I posted the recipe for the other day. I just love how the dumplings taste.
I must admit, I began taking Acai Berry. My boss gave me a bottle of it, I have taken it both times today and have really felt quite full. I will keep an update on my status with it. I hope it helps me by curbing my appetite. I eat well, salads, green veggies, no problem. I just tend to eat too much. Portion control is my biggest weakness.
I will post back tomorrow. I have been cleaning the house this afternoon, I have a purse party this Saturday. So I want the house in good condition...

President Obama's Innaugeration
This is a day for the history books. I am so happy to see this day, yet sad at the stances and views our new president takes or doesn't. I am and will be respectful of him and his office. I told my son's this morning, that this man is the most powerful "MAN" in the world. Only God is the higher than him, and thank God he is. President Obama will have to answer to God. That assures me of God being on His throne and the power He has.
I will be watching his swearing in, as I have for President's Reagan, George Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush. This is history in the making and I am truly glad to be a part of it. I am so thankful that our country can see past the color of this man and let him have his chance at this most prestigious position. God please, Bless him and his family.

I am amazed!!!
I was just sent a video from a friend about a young man without limbs. Nick Vujicic, was born without arms or legs. He has a very short little nub, he calls his chicken leg. He loves God, even though this is the hand he has been dealt. I am just in awe. My 7 year old was here watching with me. Go to the site at http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/ or go to you-tube and look up Nick Vujicic. He leads a very normal life, what we term normal. He even swims and surfs. Wow!
Chicken and dumplings
What a lazy day I had today with my boys. It is days like this I enjoy most. Laying around and not getting in a hurry to do a thing. My poor boys came to me a couple of times asking when we were going to have breakfast or lunch.
We have a visitor over tonight...He is my oldest son's friend from his old school. This child is so finicky. I have to laugh, because there are not very many things my boys won't eat. I am so thankful for that. I learned a lesson a long time ago, that my dear mother taught me. She told me to never make something else for your child because he doesn't like what you fixed or he wants something else. It was hard, because you know as well as I do, that we like to make our little chicks happy. But, I did as she instructed and today I have two boys that will eat most anything I place in front of them.
One of the things my boys love so much is my chicken and dumplings...This is a simple recipe and I hope you will try it and enjoy it.
6 cans of low sodium, fat free chicken broth
2 pkgs of chicken tenders
8 cheap cans of biscuits (I buy the store brand)
1 can of fat free mushroom soup
1 can of milk (Clean out your can of soup)
salt to taste
2 tsp of pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
In a large soup/stock pan pour the cans of broth in, add 2 cans of water. Add in your chicken and boil for approximately 14 mins. till cooked through. Add can of mushroom soup, then fill can with milk (I like 2%) and pour into pan. I like to add my garlic salt and salt now. Lower heat to low and begin to pinch off biscuits into 4 pcs. (note: I usually open all cans and drop onto the soup pan lid) You will have to stir your biscuits with a wooden spoon occasionally to get them under the broth mixture. As you get to the last 2 cans turn the heat up to high and begin to boil. Add your pepper now. Let boil for about 8 mins. Serves about 10 bowls, lots of dumplings. They re-heat well. I like to serve my dumplings with corn bread and sliced cheese.
Well, I have an Avon order to place and then I am off to bed. See you tomorrow.

This is me, and I am new!
I am new to blogging...I am fascinated by this platform we have of communication. What a grand opportunity we have to communicate with friends, loved ones, and new people.
What I plan to do here at my home is to talk about religion, politics, everyday life and planning organization and recipes.
A little smidge about me... I am a mom to 2 wonderful boys. Cody is 7 going on 13. Tyler is my baby, not so much anymore, he is 4 years old.
My husband, Gordon, and I have been married 16 years. We surrendered to full time ministry last year. We feel God calling us into Missions. We would love to travel the world, and we are so very ready. We have several years of schooling to complete. Gordon just started his online courses again this week.
I am an avid reader...I like anything from mysteries to love stories. I have a passion for the Nazi Reich and Jewish people that were massacred. So I read alot of history wrapped around that subject.
I love to cook and bake. I dabble in some of my own creations from time to time, but these are generally kid friendly foods. I am currently preparing my kitchen for a remodel. We have changed out light fixtures and I have a wonderful 1 bowl kitchen sink. I have done most of the work in the kitchen myself and will be painting and updating the rest in the next few weeks.
I hope you will come back to visit with me. I have many plans for the near future, and hope you will be a part of it.
