Recipe Thursday - Cheddar Bay Biscuits

These go great with so many things and they're REALLY easy to make. So, straight from the CopyKat.com website to you is one of my favorites...


Cheddar Bay Biscuits II

2 C. bisquick
2/3 C. milk
1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 C. butter or margarine, melted
1/4 tsp. garlic powder

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix bisquick, milk, and cheese until soft dough forms. Drop by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cooking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Mix butter and garlic powder. Brush butter mixture over warm biscuits before removing from the baking sheet.

I'm having surgery soon and I got a job!

I'm going in on the 29th for surgery. It's nothing major (according to the doctors) but I'm still terrified. They'll be checking for Endometriosis and treating it if possible and also doing a tubal ligation as well as an endometrial ablation... can you say OUCH?! I don't handle pain well and emotionally I'm just not ready to have my tubes tied. I guess God has different plans for us and to heal my pain, both emotionally and physically, this just has to be part of the process. If you could just keep me in your prayers I would really appreciate it. I just really want to be at peace with this whole idea BEFORE I get this all done. It's really for the best after everything we've been through but my heart is still kinda breaking.

On a lighter note.. I got a job! It's really great. I'm working for some friends who own an organic produce company. I only work Tuesdays, It's $10 an hour, AND I get to bring my kids. It couldn't be any more perfect.

Great deals on ChildrensPlace.com

For those of you who are gearing up to go shopping for school clothes soon, I would encourage you to check the Children's Place website RIGHT now. In their clearance section you'll find lots of cute clothing and shoes at a great price... then when you're checking out you can use the code FA78 for another 15% off! But you have to hurry because their items will sale really fast once people catch on to this sale.

I do have to tell you I've had to try ALL day to get my order to go through because their site has way too many shoppers on it right now. But it's really worth the slow loading pages, I promise.

I was able to get my daughter 6 cute shirts, 2 pairs of shoes, one pair of jeans, and a backpack for school. I also got my son 2 shirts and a pair of shoes. I got ALL of this for only $55.32! I LOVE shopping sales online!

I need your opinions

I really enjoy making items for my daughter such as hair bows, tutus, costumes, applique tops and so much more. I used to own and run TutuBabes.com and right now I'm currently taking a break to finish my schooling but I still love to make things for my own daughter when I do find some time. I was thinking it would be really fun to put together some free instructions to make some of the items I mentioned. I'd love some input on what you'd love to learn to do. Just leave a comment for me with your ideas, I love to hear them!
