Way Behind, oh what a Summer!

Okay, so I'm way behind in my blogging, and it's not for lack of things to blog about, it's actually because of lack of internet! But I think that's all fixed now and I will be blogging again! But now my camera is "temporarily misplaced"-mom did you check my house yet? This whole two houses things can cause some problems! So over the next couple of days I plan on posting lots and catching up all of my fun adventures that we have been having, but I'll also be having more fun adventures in the next week, so who knows, I may still be blogging about my summer in October.
On a side note, I found out that my hubby will be about 30 hours away from me for the month of September. Which is not as far a last year (across the country!) but it might as well be, because I wont see him the entire time that he's gone. You would think that I'd be getting use to that by now, but it always makes me sad. And this year I wont have my Karlene to keep me occupied at all hours, 'cause she now has a house that is 40 min away. Oh well, at least I have my phone, and hopefully internet so that I can blog!

It's about time I finally got you another meal-in-a-jar. This is a recipe I got from my cousin while we were visiting her for a family reunion. Between the two of us, we have six kids and all six of them ate this and asked for more! That's a huge hit in my book, so I definitely needed the recipe. I made 6 jars so that I have lots for my pantry because I know my kids are going to want to eat this over and over. The one adjustment I made was not adding green chilies, and that's only because I didn't have any, not because I don't want them. Once I have some in stock, I will definitely add them to the jars.  As always, this recipe uses ingredients that are on sale from Thrive Life Foods this month. The instant rice is one of the items on sale, but I didn't have any on hand, so I just grabbed some from my local grocery store, use whichever is convenient for you.  I also don't have packages of taco seasoning, which is what the recipe calls for, I use it oft

Beef Stew Meal-In-A-Jar

My meal in a jar recipe for February is a traditional beef stew, like my mom always made when we were growing up. There are a few adjustments that you can make depending on how you are going to eat prepare and eat this meal, but however you do it, it's going to be classic and delicious!   We are currently in a nasty cold streak with daily highs around -20 Celsius and wind chills that often take our lows to -40 Celsius. In the midst of this cold snap, we had a hockey tournament. Just when you want to curl up with a good book all weekend, we are going back and for from home to rink, without much break between. Between games, I decided to make this recipe and throw it in the crock pot so that it would be ready when we came home and were in need of something to warm our bones. When I put it in the crock pot, I made a few adjustments that I'll explain. For a quick boil and serve meal, follow the instructions in the graphic. If you want adjustments for the crockpot, keep readin

Forgiveness

Just a random picture that I like (no it's not my husband that I'm talking about!) Okay, so I'm not one to get easily offended. Mostly I just let things slide (It's taken some work to get to this point). But when I do get offended, it really cuts deep and I have a hard time letting it go. There are only a few things that can bother me, and even then, it's really only comments from the people I care about that affect me. ('Cause let's be real, if I don't know the person, then they don't really know me and there opinion is basically meaningless). But sometimes I find someone really does strike that cord and it's hard for me to let go. I really want to get past this and find a way to not be so hurt by things. Recently I have had a person in my life say a few things (a few different things over time) that have really hurt me and I'm trying not to hold a grudge, but everytime I find myself feeling better about things and wanting to be around th
