Another snowy Saturday!!

Hello all! Well, I woke up to yet another snowy Saturday! Winter is just about to wear out it's welcome around here! Come on Spring!!! I haven't been outside of the house since Wednesday and I am about to go stark raving mad!!!!! Hubby is only working half a day today so maybe he will take me out somewhere when he gets home. Although by the looks of these pictures, it might be safer to just stay home!!

This pic is one of the rocking chairs on my front porch. This is snow that has fallen since around Wednesday, I think:



Here's another, wider view of the porch. The bench in the middle was made for me by my uncle. It has a wedding chapel bird house on it and a welcome friends rock plaque on it although you can't see them for all the snow!! LOL!



And finally, a pic of my poor little car that hasn't been out of the driveway all week! We have an incline for a driveway and even though it's snow covered right now, underneath that snow is nothing but ice! The tires on my little purple "gangsta mobile" aren't in the best shape and just won't go up the incline when it's icy!



I don't have much on the agenda for today. I was hoping to get to the library in town to check out a couple of books I've been wanting to read. Doesn't look like that will happen though with all this bad weather. Looks like a good day for crafting, don't you think?? LOL!

Well, that's it for now. Try to stay warm and cozy today!

Until next time. . .

Hugs,

Fast and Fabulous Food Friday!

I hope everyone is staying nice and warm on this snowy and cold Friday morning! Wind chills here are below zero all day and we got a few more inches of snow overnight. Will it ever end???

For today's Fast and Fabulous Food Friday, I am sharing what is probably the easiest recipe you will ever find! I made this for dinner last night along with some garlic mashed potatoes and green beans with bacon and onion. It is so good that I usually double this recipe because there are never any leftovers! If you try it, let me know how your family likes it. Enjoy!

Kielbasa Bites

1 16 oz package of polska kielbasa
brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut kielbasa into bite sized pieces. Put kielbasa into pot and throw in some brown sugar. There is no exact amount of the sugar, I usually just put in enough to coat the meat. Mix well. Cover and bake for 1 hour.

That's it! The brown sugar makes a glaze for the meat and it is soooo good! Quick and easy ~ perfect for a busy schedule!

Well, I got quite a bit accomplished around the house yesterday which was the first day of my mini vacation. Mostly I just did some much needed cleaning and some laundry. I did make a fabulous brownie recipe I found over at Mommy's Kitchen. It was her marshmellow brownies. I will definitely be making these again as they were a big hit with my teen aged son! Please go over to her blog and check it out ~ I can promise you won't be sorry! On the agenda for today is some more cleaning and hopefully working on some craft projects I've got going on. So I guess I'd better get off this computer and get started! Stay safe and warm today!

Until next time . . .

Thursday's Tip of the Day!

Hello everyone! I'm off work for today and tomorrow due to all this snow and cold weather we are having. I can't get my car up my ice coated driveway so it's vacation days for me! I have a lot planned for my mini vacation ~ lots of crafts I need to get finished up and a few I want to get started on. Then there's the never ending housework that I need to get caught up on. I've already gotten started on some laundry so at least I'm getting something accomplished today! It's so hard to tear myself away from this computer. I love reading everybody's blogs. It's so addicting!!

For Thursday's Tip of the Day, I thought I'd share a few spot removal tips for you:


~ When you spill any kind of liquid on your carpet, cover the area with cornstarch. The cornstarch sucks the liquid out of the carpet. Vacuum when dry.

~ Use Dawn dish detergent for shirt collars, grease spots, etc. in the laundry for a fraction of the cost of other laundry stain removal products.

~ Use petroleum jelly for removing lipstick stains, or rub a little vegetable shortening on the stain and then launder as usual.

Hope you can put these simple tips to use! Have a great Thursday!

Until next time. . .

Hugs,
