Yummy, Affordable, Recipes Blog Hop - Guest Post

Please welcome my friend Cheri, who blogs at Cheri and Family.  We go way back;-)  I love how our relationship has grown in the last few years and I have learned that she is someone that I can always turn to when I need to vent, figure something out, or just have some fun.  I love stalking her (really, that was a fun day;-) and I love that we can be open and honest about situations and neither of us gets offended.  I am glad that she is a part of our lives!  Thanks Cheri for being one of those friends who makes me feel like I am not that crazy, you are just as crazy along with me;-)  PLEASE show Cheri some love and link up a recipe (or 20) and don't forget to leave a comment/go and visit her too:-)  Thanks for guest posting!!

I often joke with people that the way to my hubby's heart is definitely through his stomach...but he married someone that can't cook. Perhaps "can't" is too strong. He married someone that rarely cooks. For years, hubby has done the majority of the cooking since his job allowed him to be home by 2:30 each day; almost 3 hours ahead of myself. This has resulted in numerous family jokes about my ability to cook, or about anything I cook, as well as my daughter growing up thinking that "daddy's do all the cooking."

Over the last couple of years, I've been trying to cook more often. I've reduced my hours at work which allows me twice a week to be home before hubby. I've enjoyed looking at magazines, recipe books, and websites searching for new recipes to try, Some a huge success, others...not so good.

I know Ruth too is always on the look out for new yummy, affordable, easy to make recipes, so I thought it would be fun to do a recipe blog hop. If you would like to share a recipe, add a link to your recipe blog post below. I know Ruth (and I) will enjoy visiting all your blogs for some great menu ideas.

All About Me Day 4 - Favourite Book

I loved to read books when I was younger, I would read on such a regular basis.  Lately, I barely get an opportunity to read at all.  When I do read, it is mostly helpful books, like the one I am in the process of reading now.  I had to return the copy I had and I am waiting for enough money to buy a new copy for myself.  This book is a must read for every parent.  It has taught me a lot about myself, not just my kids. It also applies to all kids.  I know that as a parent I am striving to raise my kids without breaking their spirit.  I want my kids to be different and stand out in the crowd.  This book is a great source of knowledge and advice on how to do just that.

All About Me Day 1 - Favourite Song

My favourite song...that is a hard one. At first I was going to put up Bon Jovi, Livin on a Prayer, that would be one of my favourite songs from my past.

Instead I thought I would put up one of my recent favourite songs. This song just speaks volumes...Enjoy and come back tomorrow for more of All About Me in 30 Days!!
