I love being a southern girl! There's just something about a nice drive through the country... The old barns, the corn and soy bean fields and of course the wildlife. {we almost hit a bobcat as it darted onto the two lane road we were on} Our weekend road trip was full of lots of beautiful scenery and these are just a few of my favorite pics I snapped along the way.
Well, our mini vacation to Missouri is officially over. The thrill is gone. We're home and there are 800 loads of dirty laundry to do, 200 pieces of junk mail to sift through and my garden is in serious need of tending. I'm exhausted and feel as if someone beat me in my sleep, I can't remember if it's Monday or Tuesday {the boy said he "thinks" it's Tuesday... I'll have to trust him}, but even though I'm tired and delirious, I wouldn't trade the past weekend for anything in the world. We had a blast! Especially the kids. This is the first year that Micah really got into the pool and boy, was he diggin' it! He had his water wings on as well as his Spiderman float, 'cause Mama don't play when it comes to water safety. As the boys were having fun, splashing around in the pool, getting in and out, walking to and from the hot tub, on the super slippery tile, all my Mommy brain could think is... "Oh God, That tile looks awfully slippery, what am I gonna do if one of them falls and busts their head wide open and their brains fall out everywhere?" {that really is how my brain works, no joke, I'm a horrible worrier and I always prepare for the worst possible scenario, {i.e. brains on the pool tile} so that when something minor happens {skinned knee}, I'm totally prepared} So I prepared myself, going over my limited medical training in my head. {I used to be a CNT, when I was in my 20's , but the knowledge never left me} I reminded myself of my CPR ratios of breaths to compressions, then I remembered a piece I saw on the Today show that said to do your compressions to the beat of "Staying Alive" by The Bee Gee's, as it is 100 bpm, which is approximately 30 compressions per every two breaths. Then I reminded myself that I would most likely not need this info and to quit worrying and enjoy my vacation. Could You Save Your Child's Life In An Emergency?!
Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post written by me, on behalf of Blogelina.com When I started blogging, a little over a year ago, I had no idea what i was doing. I knew I had some really good recipes and a few funny stories I wanted to share, but I didn't know how to go about putting all my good ideas into a real blog, so I did what any intelligent person would do... I Googled it! I found a lot of good information... I also found a lot of crappy information too and the hard part was figuring out which was which. Slowly but surely, I "found my way" so to speak and now I have a network of some really amazing bloggers that are there to help me if I need it. Thanks to this network, I also have access to some really informative classes, like the upcoming Blogelina class. The Blogelina class is perfect for anyone who is interested in learning more about blogging, hoping to someday make an income from their blog or wondering where they should start.
I love Alfredo, but it's kind of expensive to make from scratch, so I decided to figure out a cheaper, easier way to do it and here's what I came up with.
Please excuse my lack of precise measurements, I don't usually measure stuff, I just do it 'til it "taste right". |
