Keep The Kids Entertained during Quarantine

 I know that right now many of us parents are trying to find ways to keep our kids entertained during the quarantine. I am sharing some wonderful ideas below with you that I have been coming across. I personally am trying to limit my kids time with electronics. I have been doing this by finding virtual field trips for them to take so they are still learning and not just playing games or watching mindless TV shows.

New Year, New Goals

 

I know that we all start the New Year with goals that we want to reach in the New Year. Almost all of us fail at the goals we set within the first few weeks. I am very guilty of that myself so this year I decided to switch things up. Instead of making the normal weight loss goals for myself I decided to make goals of getting my house in order to sell. We quickly outgrew our home no sooner than we moved in. We are slowly working on getting out of debt and getting things in order for what we would like to do with our future. 

We sent 2019 out the window in Florida with family and new friends. The two weeks we spent in Florida really opened my eyes to what needs to be done for my family. I have decided to no longer do what makes everyone else happy. Instead I am going to do what makes my family happy and healthy. Since our oldest son is now in High School and starting to think about college and careers I have made sure he knows that he can go after his dreams even if it means he is not close to me. I do not want my children trapped in a state that has nothing to offer them. 

So welcome to the New Year! We hope you will follow along with the blog this year and all the adventures we hope to go on. I am hoping to bring you more recipes and travel posts this year. I will be posting soon all the different parks we visited while in Florida.

Briggs True Texas Sauces & Seasonings (Fried Chicken Recipe)

 

One thing that I love is a challenge when it comes to cooking. Recently Bubba asked why I never make fried chicken for dinner. So I thought why not take a chance at it and surprisingly it came out pretty good so I thought I would share the recipe with you. I also want to share my secret ingredient with you that I used to give my chicken a great flavor. I recently received some wonderful stuff from Briggs True for my Holiday Gift Guide. I got the Texas Seasoning & Rub, Texas Mustard Sauce and the Strawberry Habanero Jelly.

One thing that I love is eating fresh vegetables especially ones from my in-laws garden. I also love finding new and delicious recipes to use them in as well. I am not sure why but my family had never really grilled our veggies. But now thanks to Cave Tools we are grilling our veggies as well and they are delicious!

I am always looking for ways to kick up my cooking and add some new delicious flavors to my meals. Recently I received a TABASCO Large Gift Box set to review with my family. I do not typically use hot sauce in my cooking unless it is call for in the recipe because I can not handle spicy foods. But I am always willing to try something new as well and since I got the Gift Box it had several different flavors for me and my family to try out other then just the normal Hot.

Spruce Up Your Walls with Vinyl Disorder

One thing that I have always loved to do is add my own special touches to my home. One way that I have found to do this is with wall decals. I love choosing a decal for different areas of my home. I had several decals at our old house and am excited to start putting them up at our new home. I was recently sent a wonderful decal from Vinyl Disorder to put up.

I know a lot of people lately have been looking for ways to help treat ailments without needing prescription medicine. I know personally I am the type of person who hates taking medicine for anything. I think there are more natural (holistic) ways to take care of our bodies. There are ways to heal our bodies and minds without using prescription drugs. If you think back to the beginnings they used plants and herbs as medicine and had success. I know not every ailment can be treated without prescriptions so please consult a doctor before doing anything. You can work with your doctor or a holistic doctor  to make sure you are getting what you need.
