Turkey Meatball Recipe

March 29, 2013

{Turkey Meatball Recipe}

This turkey meatball recipe is a great combination of sweet and savory.

It is a light recipe adapted from a Cooking Light Recipe that

I found years ago, but have yet to find the original online.

I use turkey meat but you can also make these with

extra lean ground beef, depending on what your family prefers.

With the sauce, I find that you can make these meatballs

lighter with the ground turkey meat and not miss

on taste.

What Ails Me… Migraines

March 27, 2013

 A couple of months ago, I hit a new low

{which is one of the reasons I finally headed back to the doctor after years of not going}.

Husby was at work for a 48-hr shift and I was home with my four little ones.

I had a migraine that was so bad…

that my oldest son {age 8} had to make ego waffles for his siblings for dinner

{so embarrassing to admit}….

I found myself running to the toilet to vomit…

I was sure that this was going to be it…

the time that my brain would finally cease and I would die of a brain aneurism or something

{however unrealistic that actually may be}.

 My 6 year old, plagued with a look of helplessness and fear, came running…

asking if I was ok.

He took it upon himself to get me a hair tie.

Later that night, after the pain lessened to a point I could tolerate…

my oldest son took me to the prayer box in my bedroom…

with tears in his eyes, he showed me a handwritten letter on a small piece of paper….

a prayer to God,

asking Him to make his mommy feel better.

I was completely overwhelmed and brought to tears with the sheer sweetness of his heart….

that his initial instinct was to pray.

I was crushed,

at the same time…

thinking about the affects this would have on my children….

seeing their mommy so frequently sick with migraines.

{Date Night Ideas}

March 26, 2013

Date night ideas are a must for any couple.

One of our favorite “date night in” ideas is

having some of our favorite wine paired with cheese,

combined with a savory pasta dish,

or a simple cheese board sampling 

 when the kids go to bed.

{weekend} lovelies

March 22, 2013

Spring has sprung and it’s time once again for Weekend Lovelies.

Like most weeks, this one seemed awfully fast.

I was up with a coughing Madeline late one night.

After getting up with her, I could not go back to sleep right away.

Luckily for me it was meant to be, as Jimmy Fallon had Justin Timberlake

on his late night show.

They decided to perform a new rendition of their “History of Rap”

I loved this one, as it truly brought me back in time.

This summer I have an impeding get together with some high school friends.

In the spirit of this video, I thought I would take a little walk down memory lane.

Most of you reader’s know me as a mom, but before it all………

these favorites shaped me into the person I am today.

Maybe you might remember a few, I hope I am not dating myself……….
