blog makeover

SO... for those of you who have not noticed, I made over my blog last week. After posting last, I noticed my blog was a MESS!!! I took it upon myself to fix it... 5 hours later... this is the outcome!

BUT... I just found out about a GIVEAWAY!! Check it out by clicking the button!!

Satin Hands Winner!!

Yesterday completely got away from me.  We looked at a 2006 Impala and spend some time in Duluth.  We also bought a new kitchen table and did some grocery shopping! I got so caught up getting everything done that I forgot to announce the winner of the Satin Hands Set........ 

and it is Michelle!! So excited that she gets this set because she is a mom of 3 with a 4th on the way! What a great way for her to pamper herself! Congrats Michelle!!

FAB Friday

Today is a day off...both work AND school! I am going to clean my house a little and enjoy the sunshine! 

I work Saturday and Sunday afternoon, so we do not have much planned for the weekend.

I want to share an update on our car search...

I emailed the dealership that was selling the Saturn VUE on Tuesday.  I heard back from the guy on Wednesday morning that they were bringing the car to International Falls for someone who was interested. I started searching some more and praying more about this.  I emailed him again this morning and he said he didn't hear anything and would let me know as soon as he did... 15 mins later I get an email saying it did not sell and will be back in town tomorrow.  So we plan to go for a test drive tomorrow!!! 

(here is the VUE we are looking at)

I forgot to take a pic of dinner the other day, but here is the recipe

Salsa Chicken:

2 lbs chicken breasts
6 Tbs chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1 jar of your favorite salsa
couscous 
sour cream
shredded cheese

Cut chicken into 1" cubes and put in a gallon Ziplock bag.  Add seasoning and shake until coated.  Dump contents of bag into Crock Pot and pour jar of salsa over the top (I personally love to use Archer Farms Organic Chipotle salsa!) Cook on low for 7-9 hours.  Serve over couscous and top with sour cream and cheese if desired.

P.S. - I entered this recipe in a give away at Envy My Cooking 

Friday!

It is FINALLY here... This has been such a long and stressful week of VERY little sleep for me.  First week of clinical in long term care, an endocrine exam on diabetes melitus, a 3 pages paper to finish up, fixing my errors on my prep from this week...and today starting my prep for next week! It is a never ending cycle!! But it is now April and that means only 6 more weeks of school then its SUMMER!!

This afternoon I will be spending time at the nursing home making my assignments since I am team leader this week. Then off to a long shift at work.

Thankfully I have the weekend off :) Spending some much needed time with my hubby is on the agenda as well as cleaning my house! Saturday evening we are going to our friends' house (Seth & Renee) for dinner and hang out time! Sunday is church and then time with my in-laws; my sister-in-law will be in town too!! So, it will be a pretty laid back weekend, hopefully a bit less stressful. 

I have decided what April's give away is...

(Satin Hands in Vanilla Sugar!)

Also, 15% off all month. Stock up on anything you might be needing, or get a new "look" for Spring and Summer. 

Here is how to enter:

-follow my blog

-and leave a comment saying why you want it!

Pretty simple :) I will be doing my drawing on April 15th! And MAYBE there will be a second give away...we will see what the response is and if sales are good. Help support me and my husband as we are remodeling our house...I hope to make some extra money so we can do more with our house this summer. I am also wanting to take up one of my passions as a part time business from home, but right now finances and resources are the major problem! Praying for guidance
