A THRIFTY GIRL'S HEAVEN: NEON SURPRISE!

DINNER IS SERVED!

Just wanted to let you know the Happy Meal Happy Families blog is up and running.  I'm still trying to figure out how to add the blog to DHM, but until then, I have a page right up top to get you to the recipe for this week.  

There's also a link in the recipe title that will take you to the food blog.  I hope it's not too confusing.  I'll fix it soon.  But enjoy my delicious shrimp and chicken fried rice recipe while I work out the kinks!

NO RESOLUTIONS...JUST CONTINUOUS CHANGE

Today is January 7, 2012.  We’ve officially made it through the first week of the new year.  This time last week, Lon and I were cleaning the house and getting ready to host our family in a New Year’s Evening under the stars. 

It was really nice.  Lon made a fire in our homemade fire pit. We set up a canopy/tent and lined the driveway with decorative candlelight bags. We sat around the fire and made s'mores.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Wishing you and your family a safe and blessed new year!!  In 2012, I pray that you let your light shine and not be afraid to step out of the box.  Be the change you want to see in the world and in others. Put yourself out there and welcome positive energy in and release negativity from your life.
~God loves you and so do I!
