Finding Balance

There should be a balance to being Mommy and being Wendy; I know this. But finding it is proving somewhat elusive. Mostly the Mommy part wins, leaving Wendy disgruntled and sometimes resentful. Not cool. When Wendy wins, the family suffers. Not cool either.

So what's the answer? How to find this? 

I don't know, but I am working on it. Trying to become more organized in the kitchen which will free up some time to do other things besides meal plan, make snacks and clean the house.

A different kind of pizza

Butternut Squash Pizza. 

Cut squash into rounds, not too thin and bake @400* for fifteen minutes. Remove from oven and flip over. Top with:  veggies, sauce, cheese, sausage, pepperoni, etc etc. Whatever you want!  Put back into oven and bake until done.

Here's a few photos of my yumminess:

 Yummo!

Today I'm thankful for the Savior. When I think about how much He loves me, it just blows me away. Thank you, Jesus, for everything!

Day 23

Today I'm thankful for fuzzy slippers! The floor is cold and slippers are a neccesity.

Day 22

Today I'm thankful for my brother and sister.

Day 21

Today I'm thankful for my mom. I'm thankful she was one of those 'mean' moms who made me polite, respectful and eat my green beans. (blech!)  I'm thankful to have a great mom!
