David Craig

 Oh, David, my little monster. David is three years old, going on fifteen. He is super adorable and a little cheeky! He has added a lot of spice to our lives. He loves to learn about everything and asks "why" ALL the time! But he is actually trying to learn, and he remembers the answers that he's given - not that it stops him from asking again.
Of all of our kids David is the one that constantly leaves us asking "He said what?!?" Because he comes up with the craziest things. Today at the dinner table he said that he wanted more water, when I told him to go ahead and get some, he looked at me with very sad and tired eyes and said "but I don't want to get off my butt..." It was so adorable that I just had to smile and get him some water (After he asked nicely!)
David has absolutely loved being a big brother, which I was a little worried about because, let's face it, he's spoiled. With three older siblings, the youngest eight years his senior, it's bound to happen. That and Michael and I are just more tired with him! With Peter and Natasha we didn't have a problem getting up to discipline them, with David it's a completely different meaning when we say, "You better not make me get up..."

Like I was saying...David loves being a big brother, almost too much! He wants to help with everything and he loves to read to Zachary and make him laugh. We regularly have to remind him to be gentle because he is just so excited to have a little brother to play with. Zachary loves it when David will sit and talk to him and read to him and play with him, it's super cute to see his face light up when David comes into his view. David certainly loves that little boy.
Three things that I love about David:
1. Your smile is just so big and adorable that it lights up the whole room and makes everyone around you smile.
2. The way you say "Momma"
3. Your unconditional love, whether I'm having a "good mom" day or a "not-so-good mom" day, you are happy to see me and love to make me smile

You are such a light in my life and I love the you that you are right now. You say the cutest things in the cutest ways and it just makes my heart smile when you talk. I pray for you that you will always be so positive and happy and enjoy your life. May you always be a light to the world.

Love,
Momma

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
