Chicken Salad Recipe

November 26, 2012 By

I love a really tasty chicken salad, but buying it at a restaurant seems to be such a waste of money to me. Instead I would rather make some at home. You can grill, bake, roast or even boil the chicken, then add in your favorite flavors and viola you have Chicken Salad. I hope you enjoy my Chicken Salad Recipe.

Win Your Way with Shop Your Way

November 23, 2012 By

Every Christmas my brother-in-law asks for something from Sears. He loves Craftsman tools and they are often on his list and his kids always need school clothes. So I often find myself doing a lot of shopping at Sears. This year I decided to join Shop Your Way to earn reward points. I can earn 10 reward points for every dollar I spend at Sears or online with Sears. Then I can take those points and put them to use whenever and however I want. That means I can use as few or as many of my points towards any of my purchases, even if I just earned those points.

But what I really like about Shop Your Way is their fun feature Win Your Way. With Win Your Way you can win Shop Your Way Reward Points, Exclusive Merchandise, Trips, Digital Awards and Products. You have to be a Shop Your Way Bonus Member (no purchase necessary) to participate in Win Your Way, but that is as simple as giving a valid email address.

Entering Win Your Way Sweepstakes is easy. Choose which sweepstakes you want to enter, read the directions and click the Get Started Now button. I have entered a few Win Your Way Sweepstakes already, but I haven’t won any yet. Some Win Your Way Sweepstakes ask for your opinions through polls, others ask you to rate products, while others ask you to find products you want and add them to your “wish list” for other shoppers to view.  Shop Your Way is a fun social shopping platform where you can check out what others shoppers are interested in and what is trending at the moment.

I’m interested in entering the What’s For Dinner Sweepstake where I would be entered to win a new premium cooktop! Or the Keeping Up Appearances Sweepstake where I could win a $50 gift certificate to be used on the Kardashian Kollection™ at Sears. This one would be wonderful for me to win since I need a new outfit for my husband’s office holiday party.

I know I’ll be using Shop Your Way and Win Your Way to help stretch my holiday budget, and maybe to even win a few fun items for myself. Are you going to try Shop Your Way and Win Your Way?

You can keep up with Shop Your Way on Twitter at @ShopYourWay #WinYourWay. No purchase necessary. See http://bit.ly/RdfB8K for details.

Thanksgiving

November 22, 2012 By

 

 

 

Today is Thanksgiving and I wanted to take a moment to tell you what I am thankful for. I’m sure many of you are gathering around the table and the TV today. Eating Turkey and watching football or maybe one of the parades. Thanksgiving is such a special time and I hope you have plenty of people you love surrounding you and making you feel special.

Without further ado My Thanksgiving List:

1. I am so thankful for my family. My husband and my boys, my mother and father (who I am lucky enough to still have in my life), my in-laws, and those people that are family through friendship.

2. I am thankful for all of those autism parents who have come before us and who have helped to heal and recover their children and ours. They are stronger than anyone could have every imagined.

3. I am thankful to all the past and present service men and women. My own father served in the Korean War, and I am ever thankful that he came home!

4. I am thankful to be an American.

5. I am so thankful that my husband has a job, and we have a home and food to feed our children.

6. I am thankful for my education. My ability to read.

7. I am thankful for my health. That I can get out of bed every morning, even when I don’t want to, and even when the coffee isn’t already made.

8. I am thankful for this blog, all the people I have been able to reach and to help because of it. I am thankful for the friends I have made through it, and those I will meet eventually.

9. I am thankful for my happy memories, from childhood into adulthood.

10. I am thankful I am loved.

11. One last thing, I’m thankful God saw fit to give us chocolate!

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving full of sweet memories. And I hope you are safe and happy and healthy!

Wordless Wednesday Red Popping Corn

November 21, 2012 By

Today’s Wordless Wednesday is of Red Popping Corn on the Cob from my middle son’s field trip to the farm. We were one of the few groups to find the red corn, and I’m proud to say as a chaperone every one of my 4 boys and myself, found red corn. When we came home my son had to immediately pop his corn. You simply put the corn in a brown paper lunch bag, tightly roll the opening closed and pop in the microwave on hi for 2.5 to 3.5 minutes. It was so cool, and tasted great.
