Mac N Cheeseburger Potato Crock Pot Recipe

Hey Friends!

OK-this may look gross, but my taste buds are jumping for joy...so much so that we are having the leftovers tonight!

Mac N Cheeseburger Potato Crock Pot Soup

Add ingredients to crock pot:
4 cups of chicken broth
2-4 potatoes, diced
1lb hamburger-cooked
as much onion as you like...for flavor

Cook on low for 4-6 hours...or until the potatoes are tender

Add a package of Velveeta cheese (I drained most of the remaining chicken broth because I like my stuff cheezy)
Cooked noodles (we used shells)

Let the cheese melt down & then serve

Happy cooking!

High-Tech Christmas!

Monday, Monday, Monday...

Hope everyone had a great weekend! D and I had an action packed weekend in VA with family. Friday night we went to my Granny's house and had Olive Garden to-go for her b-day...yum! We rode around and looked at lights after we ate and found an AWESOME house where the lights/music were synced. Here is a picture and a video...

Saturday, D and I slept in as late as we could...busy day ahead! He went to Franklin to help with chores around the house while Kels and I went shopping...yikes...way too many people for me to handle. Saturday night was the Pope/Edwards annual Christmas party...it's always one to look forward to. Food, family, gift exchange, and booze...it makes for an interesting party!

Sunday we laid around and got our stuff together to head back to the OBX. Dez was very tired from playing with Zoey/Roxy and Sandy all weekend. Such a Daddy's girl....



Christmas is coming...6 days away! Thank goodness Kelsey is home so she can wrap my presents!

Have a great Monday!!

All The Pretty Lights

These are a few pictures of the incredible house in the OBX that sets up a huge display of lights. A couple years ago Al Roker even came out to this guys house a couple years ago. It is 110% better in person, but I wanted to share some pictures for those of you who can't come to see in person!

 Hello there Dez! All snuggled on the couch for a girls night in.

I have had this project sitting around for a couple weeks now. I had to do something with it before Christmas passed. I saw this on Pintrest and thought it was a cute and clever idea. I had keys on my key ring from our house in Greenville, and our old VB house. What else am I gonna do with these things? Make an ornament out of them of course! I already had some jewelry wire, bought a $1 pack of beads from WalMart, and got some paper...strung them all together and just like that you have a cute ornament/way to memorialize your old homeplace(s).

I hope everyone has a great weekend. If you haven't finished your Christmas shopping yet-hop to it!

...9 Days till Christmas...

Bring the Magic Back!

Happy Thursday all! Not only are we 1 day closer to the weekend, but one day closer to Christmas...ahhhh it's coming way too quick! I have not even wrapped a single present, and the closest I've come to holiday spirit is a Christmas tree & holiday music at work. Why can't we be 5 years old again....but just for the holidays...where did all the magic go? I think it got lost somewhere between work and responsibilities. I digress...

Last night I finally finished my 2 night marathon of crafting for B. It took a lot of time, but I think the final product is amazing...in love with this piece. I wish I could see the recipient open this gift!

I almost made it through without a hot glue burn...but at the end when I was gluing one of the last shells my fingers became burn victims. One of the downfalls to the night job I guess :)

After the pain went away and I was finally able to get comfy Dez and I went to bed in our new wiener dog sheets. Soo warm and snuggly!

Today has been a nightmare at work....so at lunch I got myself a small DD coffee to help my headache and simmer my nerves...little did I know a small would be 4 gulps worth. Needless to say I am treasuring each little sip!

Now--get crackin' people 10 days till Christmas!!!

My Night Job

Long time-no post! I have been so busy since I got home from the trade show in Myrtle Beach! Between Christmas and real life...I am worn out! We did manage to get our tree up, and it made our place at the beach that much warmer (thanks to Mom & Dad for cramming it in the car and bringing it down).

Boy, oh boy have I been crafting away. I am slowly starting to build my Etsy shop, Life by the Day. Some other members on the site have even listed my shop or items as their favorite or mentioned in a topic. How exciting! Here are a few things that I have been crafting this month...

I hope you guys are having a great week. I'll have to make some time after I finish my current project to show you...and post about all the other happenings going on. Until then...back to work

HAPPY HUMP DAY

3 things for Hump Day...

Hello all! I hope your week is going quickly...I am on the 10th day straight of working, and am sooo ready for Friday. I just got back from a trade show in Myrtle Beach, and am SO happy to be home.

Three Things...

1.

 So glad to be back home with D and my lil hot doggie!

3.

Lovin' my sushi at work...it is seriously hittin the spot and making my long work week that much better!



Happy 1st Birthday to Dezzie!

12-2-10 marks the day lil Dez was born...TODAY! Happy Birthday lil Fred...one year later she's a little longer, a little mouthier, but just as sweet.  

So, HAPPY FRIDAY! Unfortunately, I won't get a weekend due to a work trip...another 10 day work week marathon...hip hip hooray.

On the other hand...I started an Etsy store a few days ago and added another item last night! It is pretty bare bones right now, but hopefully it'll start to fill up over time. Check it out...Life by the Day

I believe that I offer home made/hand crafted art and home decor perfect for any home. I am also welcome to any custom orders. I recently started doing silhouettes of not just pets but people! I also started making wine cork wreaths...for any season. If you have an idea, and want me to make it reality-head over to my shop on Etsy and send me a message!
