My first blog post...

Well, this is my first attempt in doing a blog.  I am a small town girl who moved to the big city that never sleeps, Las Vegas, four years ago to be with my boyfriend.  That boyfriend turned into my husband and we have now been married for almost three years, have a wonderful daughter who is almost 21 months old, we also have a fur-baby Chihuahua who is eight years old who I brought with me when I moved to the big city.  My husband has adapted her into his lifestyle and loves her as much as I do.  And we have another baby on the way, a boy this time, that will make his debut in two months.  We are beyond thrilled as our little family we have always wanted is going to be complete soon.  The only thing we have missing in our life is the white picket fence.

I love cooking meals for my husband.  I got really lucky in the department that my husband is not a picky eater like most people I know.  However, the two things my husband refuses to eat are also the two things I don't eat myself or will ever cook with... and that is ketchup and tomatoes.  We both have a strong dislike for those two things.  But other than that, I usually cook meals for him that I find on the internet or Pintrest and as we eat our meal, we both critique it and I make mental notes to myself on what I can do next time to make it fit to our palate.  I am not much of a baker, but I do love to bake cookies, cupcakes, and other baked goods that I can find the recipe for.

I wish I could be like some people who can find things in their pantry or refrigerator and throw a fantastic meal together, but unfortunately, I am not a culinary genius.  I just find recipes I like to try and make it then I tweak it later when I want to make it again.  But I will post the recipe and try to give credit due to the person who I got the recipe from when I post recipes but I will admit that I can't remember who I got them all from, so I apologize if I didn't ask for permission to use your recipe.  But at the end of the blog, I will tell you what my thoughts were and what my husband and I have decided to do to tweak it next time to fit our palate.  It might suit your tastebuds, but then again, it might not and you might like the recipe as is.  But I will do what I can to tell you what I thought.

I also love to craft.  I love making homemade cards, handmade necklaces and bracelets, and little projects here and there that I have been wanting to do but I just haven't yet.  Unfortunately, I put my crafting supplies in storage for now as we are expecting a second child and I wanted to devote most of my attention and focus on my family before I start taking up crafting again.  Right now it is near impossible to find time to make a quick card to show you guys while taking care of my daughter and doing the everyday household things that I do on a daily basis.  But I am hoping once my son is about three or four, I will be able to find the time to craft.  Until then, my creative juices will be on hold for now.

Well, that's about it for now.  I will attempt my best to update this on a regular basis with pictures of what I have made for dinner the night before and the recipe as well.  I look forward to hearing your feedback.  I will also post things on my daughter and fur-baby and my soon-to-be son who will be here in less than two months.
