Highlights of the Week (#6)

so let's see...the last couple weeks I've been pet/house-sitting for some friends of mine. they have three dogs and they are just the cutest, sweetest things. I love being able to hang out with them. I keep taking pictures of them and posting them to my instagram account. do you have instagram? I wasn't sure if I would like it but I'm finding I really do. come find me @ pendygal80 

I've also been trying new recipes with great success. so far I've enjoyed everything I've made. probably my favorite recipe I made recently was these orange rolls. they were great for breakfast and even better warmed up for dessert with a few dark chocolate chips. I froze about a dozen so I'll be able to enjoy them at a later date. because I sell Tastefully Simple I'm used to making things with relatively few ingredients. so I must admit I took a shortcut and used pre-made crescent rolls for the orange rolls. I mean, talk about a quick and easy, as well as tasty, treat to make for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert! you should give them a try!

Pretty Woman was on tv last night and I loved watching it. I haven't seen it in so long; I forgot what a classic it truly is. my favorite scene: when Richard Gere's character Edward takes Julia Roberts' character Vivian shopping. I mean, what fun would that be! 

and on that note, I think I'll take a nap and dream about being able to shop, shop, shop! have a good week!

Highlights of the Week (#5)

wow. so I haven't done a post in awhile. sorry about that. things have been crazy. my home-school teaching "year" ended a week ago and boy was I ready to be done. definitely time for a break. this past week I was staying at my aunt & uncle's house taking care of their precious cat Maddie. tomorrow I'll head to my friends' place for 3 weeks to take care of their three dogs. so...busy busy busy.

highlights for this past week: 

1. challenging myself to try new recipes and having them been deliciously successful!
2. hanging with friends at a "goodbye" party
3. celebrating my nephew Kayden's 10th (!!!) birthday today...much love today and always K-man!

enjoy your week friends!
