So far, I've been doing well with this goal. I've switched to using only <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Whole Wheat Flour</span>. I've had some failures.... pizza crust......but I'll be working on that one. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">However, this recipe has been a success!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg07blG7pd3SUDzyEhZBj4DVbGBNDQw7cQZphIRRTiOxeruW7gb-y56cf5g2_I1tJ9Nc-7xOwyN3o7ZD4TI90UlrTr-AJVPE-a7RH42cre6gMmIy8NubTkPBOfSoQ0Y4q84vG25R8PsTr1h/s1600/IMG_3748.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg07blG7pd3SUDzyEhZBj4DVbGBNDQw7cQZphIRRTiOxeruW7gb-y56cf5g2_I1tJ9Nc-7xOwyN3o7ZD4TI90UlrTr-AJVPE-a7RH42cre6gMmIy8NubTkPBOfSoQ0Y4q84vG25R8PsTr1h/s400/IMG_3748.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Mix all wet ingredients in one bowl. Mix all dry ingredients in another bowl. Combine both until just mixed.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Spray griddle or non stick skillet with cooking spray. Laddle the batter onto griddle to make about 3-4 inch pancake. Cook until solid on one side and flip. Cook until done.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been using <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">canned pumpkin</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">for the pureed fruit</span> and throw in <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips</span> before cooking. When I make these, I double the recipe, freeze the cooked pancakes on a cookie sheet to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">freeze individually</span> and then package them up in <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">freezer bags</span>. When ready to eat, take out as many as you would like and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">heat in microwave for about one minute.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Another delicious variation is <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">banana walnut!</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I love having a healthful breakfast readily available!</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Elizabeth likes it with honey and syrup.... Daniel and I just prefer the syrup.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">There are endless ways to make this recipe your own. Play with it and let me know what you come up with!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I was getting a little <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">tired of </span>the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">hot pink</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">black</span>, so I began searching for someone on <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> </span>who I thought <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">could create the look</span> that I was going for. That's when I came across <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Heather from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheBuzz">The Buzz</a></span>. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">She listened</span> to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">exactly what I had in mind</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">created</span> a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">new banner</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">avatar</span> for my Etsy shop. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TOTEallyPosh"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Click here to check it out!</span></a> If you have a shop, you really should stop in and browse The Buzz and all the business tools she offers.<br />
<br />
Next up, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I needed some new fabric labels</span> for my clothing items to<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> stay consistent</span> with my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">new design</span>. I was so happy when I found <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Lisa from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MommieMadeIt">MommieMadeIt</a></span>! Her fabric labels are awesome and she had the perfect thing to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">coordinate with the new look</span> for my shop. <br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">She has the cutest packaging!</span> <br />

<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">White Beans</span></u><br />
1 bag of white beans<br />
1 ham bone (I had one in the freezer leftover from Christmas dinner)<br />
1 large carrot, shredded<br />
1 onion, diced<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
water (I also used about two cups of chicken broth that I had leftover in the refrigerator that I used)<br />
1 T bacon grease<br />
<br />
Rinse beans and soak in water overnight.<br />
<br />
Melt bacon grease over medium heat in a large pot or dutch oven. Saute carrot and onion until tender. Once tender, add chicken broth, beans, salt and pepper and ham bone. Add enough water to just cover the ham bone. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer about 8 hours. When it is ready, the meat should just fall off the ham bone. Remove the ham bone and any fatty pieces.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, it's already a few days into the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">new year</span>. I've spent the first days of the new year <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">catching up</span> on some things that I've put off during the holidays, enjoying some <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">family time</span> with just the three of us before Daniel went back to work, and doing some <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">relaxing</span>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The new year is a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">good time to look back</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">at the year before</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">make plans for the year ahead</span>. I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">cringe</span> at the word <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"resolutions"</span> because I've resolved so many times, to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">lose weight</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">read my Bible daily</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">save more money</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">manage time</span> better, and on and on and on. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This year, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">instead of</span> making <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">resolutions</span>, I'm going to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">practice goal setting</span>. I've always done better when I have goals. So, here are my goals for this year.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Eat healthier</span>- eat as "clean" as possible, lean meat, no "white stuff", drink more water</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Personal Bible study </span>- at least 3 times a week. This doesn't include "couple study" time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">3) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Blog</span> at least 3 times a week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Expand Etsy</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">shop</span>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">personal goals</span> for this year. Daniel and I also have some <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">couple</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">family goals</span> that we will be working towards. I have more <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">specific steps</span> written out in a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">journal</span> that I'm keeping. I'll keep <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">you</span> all <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">updated</span> on how I'm doing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Earlier in the week, a huge group of ladies from church (70 to be exact) attended our <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Cookie Swap & Ornament Exchange</span>. We had so much fun visiting with one another and making new friends. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We were all asked to bring <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">2 dozen cookies</span>. I made a recipe that I had originally found about a year ago on another blog called <a href="http://smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com/">Smashed Peas and Carrots</a>. (Check out Maggie's blog for all kinds of yummy recipies and crafty fun! I checked it earlier, and there is an adorable Snowman Sugar Cookie recipe that I will definitely be using.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When we arrived, we were told to break up several of our goodies into bite size pieces so they could be taste tested easily. Come to find out there were <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">prizes for</span> the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Prettiest and Tastiest</span>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I won for Tastiest! </span> </div><div style="text-align: center;">What an honor! I tasted several that were there and they were all delicious.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Here's what I won...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kteSaaplI4suCR02Y5hjFwU487-Da2gnvmKyvfcvBSo0mG_f0K95kqvccHZ9JMfZn8Gd0dgCZzAKTJG9lBhhSZ9RZLsLHjJtC0gCsN5CLvPDKy5hJ8wbpYTARa8PXF0jt1EEquCFXIzj/s1600/IMG_3027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kteSaaplI4suCR02Y5hjFwU487-Da2gnvmKyvfcvBSo0mG_f0K95kqvccHZ9JMfZn8Gd0dgCZzAKTJG9lBhhSZ9RZLsLHjJtC0gCsN5CLvPDKy5hJ8wbpYTARa8PXF0jt1EEquCFXIzj/s320/IMG_3027.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next, was the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ornament Exchange</span>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> I was curious to see how this would be done with such a large group. All the ornaments and were opened. We were all admiring our beautiful ornaments until we were told that we were going to begin the swap. To exchange our ornaments, we sang a round of "Jingle Bells" and passed our ornament to the right everytime we sang the word "jingle". We sang another song (I can't remember what it was) and passed our gifts to the left. At the end of the song, we kept whatever ornament we had in our hands. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Last week I was drowning in felt! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Why?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was helping with our church's Christmas Breakfast and making the </div><div style="text-align: center;">Santa photo backdrop and 6 foot candy canes were my responsibility.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoJwRirq_-egOtCfctEvoQjbHbtN188kQOkOhiVWt6mA6qI6MRooY1J7qrXpBP3L0l5f_xSLHLTi3YG_GUtlfwXGgpsknS2xIWpVzt3fkx5-rZy92dVNSC1XJY0Lt2fV-MAl4FUm79_FlQ/s1600/IMG_2907.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoJwRirq_-egOtCfctEvoQjbHbtN188kQOkOhiVWt6mA6qI6MRooY1J7qrXpBP3L0l5f_xSLHLTi3YG_GUtlfwXGgpsknS2xIWpVzt3fkx5-rZy92dVNSC1XJY0Lt2fV-MAl4FUm79_FlQ/s320/IMG_2907.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
This was easy sewing considering the backdrop was only straight lines, but these were huge backdrops! 12"X9"! And, so the lines for Santa would not be too long, we had two rooms with Santa, so yes, I made two backdrops and 4 candy canes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love this kind of thing, though! I'm happy to give my talents and time for a good cause.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDTCdbPTCwNw6CuuomxTlH1wV0IAnw8CNeMCEIo8IuIdS780I8xQmngNsCYPRxL7GKd5OD13tzgOjoeODk8whAsAX4uYPVAM8cW8KS0C-t4L7XyUi80vMPL-t4pbYTgkK7wS5IF9GOKI0_/s1600/IMG_2915_edited-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDTCdbPTCwNw6CuuomxTlH1wV0IAnw8CNeMCEIo8IuIdS780I8xQmngNsCYPRxL7GKd5OD13tzgOjoeODk8whAsAX4uYPVAM8cW8KS0C-t4L7XyUi80vMPL-t4pbYTgkK7wS5IF9GOKI0_/s320/IMG_2915_edited-1.jpg" width="260" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love how the rooms turned out!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, if you ever have to make 6 foot free standing candy canes, here is a suggestion....</div><div style="text-align: center;">When stuffing the candy cane, first insert a pool noodle to help keep the arch. First we tried a wire hanger and newspaper, but the newspaper was too heavy for the hanger. The pool noodle worked perfectly! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few shots of the event.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi14D_vcCC62sp8ukRWc4JJ6jNYa0tqRFjuCxDj0bvLevc3rDBS2CuRZlXt-IgNOiwyfn-qywgEOmvGyaF_7DTqCUZV1sPx3hhyphenhyphenB_Qi9lDvPwKSqUq_HqENa3GTix3rAZdLxCLqaoX8J-Tz/s1600/IMG_2968_edited-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi14D_vcCC62sp8ukRWc4JJ6jNYa0tqRFjuCxDj0bvLevc3rDBS2CuRZlXt-IgNOiwyfn-qywgEOmvGyaF_7DTqCUZV1sPx3hhyphenhyphenB_Qi9lDvPwKSqUq_HqENa3GTix3rAZdLxCLqaoX8J-Tz/s320/IMG_2968_edited-1.jpg" width="181" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This was the stage area in the sanctuary. We all met in the sanctuary for songs, story time, and to receive instructions for the morning. Everyone was divided up into three groups. Our first activity was crafts, which we missed out on because we were having too much fun with friends.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Since I was so late in planning the party, it <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">had to be</span> a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">small</span> one. We invited a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">few adults</span> who are <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">special</span> to Elizabeth and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">one friend</span>. I decided on <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Mickey Mous</span>e for the theme. She <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">LOVES</span> Mickey Mouse.... </div><div style="text-align: center;">especially the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"Hot Dog" song</span>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Unfortunately, since her party was mid-week, the grandparents could not come. However, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gigi </span>(my mom) and Popo <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">sent</span> her <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">a Mickey Mouse card</span> that <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">played the "Hot Dog" song!</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is a picture of Elizabeth <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">opening up the card</span>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq6euZr4D18nTHYsRBl3GxoVIbqAHxeI2Hm9X30nFY_VQzqszulkPt0-Fzl2oOeGV2E0dg0dsj07HizHGa-HJL_S5iYkW6DUijNOZGKAPlQblaQYtC6yjHlstGzyq_UTAzd9jOV0NbXWFN/s1600/IMG_2796_edited-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq6euZr4D18nTHYsRBl3GxoVIbqAHxeI2Hm9X30nFY_VQzqszulkPt0-Fzl2oOeGV2E0dg0dsj07HizHGa-HJL_S5iYkW6DUijNOZGKAPlQblaQYtC6yjHlstGzyq_UTAzd9jOV0NbXWFN/s320/IMG_2796_edited-1.jpg" width="250" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She loved it.

I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">pray</span> that we can be the mommy and daddy that <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">God</span> has called us to be to you. I <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">thank</span> Him everyday for choosing <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">us</span> to be your parents. We are so <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">proud of you</span>. You have such a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">sweet spirit</span>. I love how you say <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"I Lolu sumuch"</span> --I love you so much and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"I sowee"</span> -- I'm sorry.

You can <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">count to 10</span>. You also like to count in 10's... "10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.... YAY"! Your <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">favorite songs</span> are "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "ABC", "Jingle Bells", "Jesus Loves Me", "This little Christian Light of Mine", "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Jesus Loves the Little Children", and "The Wheels on the Bus". You love the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bible</span> and I pray that you continue to. In the morning you say <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"Daddy work?"</span> and then, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"Zebby (Elizabeth) draw"</span> (color).
