Family Fridays

Sorry it has taken me a few days to get this post written, we were having trouble finding a car, but Thank you Lord, He provided us with one yesterday. So I'm catching up with my Fridays post:) Family Fridays is something we had started with ex boy friends family and we have continued it. Its something fun, we either go out to dinner, or stay in and cook one of the kids favorite meals, and watch a movie and have popcorn and just have some great family time together. If you would like, you could share some of your family Friday ideas too. Have a great weekend all.

Tasty Thursdays

For Tasty Thursdays what I thought would be fun is, I would post my favorite recipes or one of your favorite recipes every Thursday.Yes it is nice to eat out once in a while, but I do enjoy cooking and you and I know that we always eat better and healthier at home. So for my recipe for today,  its one of our favorites Homemade Pizza, I have been making it for as long as I can remember.

1. 1 lb.or more of ground beef or ground turkey, or what ever kind of meat you prefer
2. 2 or more packages of pizza crust mix,( I use Great Value brand from Wal Mart)
3. 1 large can of black olives,sliced
4. 1 package of fresh mushrooms,sliced
5. 1 or more jars of pizza sauce
6. 2 or 3 cups of grated cheese, we use mozzarella
7. I preheat the oven to 400, cook the meat, mix up the pizza dough as directed, spray the pan, press dough into the pan and Ive always pre baked the crust for about 10 to 15 mins. so that the dough is cooked and not doughy in the middle, while that's baking I slice up all the olives and mushrooms and grate the cheese, after the crust is cooked, remove from the oven, spread the sauce on the crust, then the meat, and the olives and mushrooms and cheese and bake till the cheese is melted, about another 15 mins. There are so many ways to make this pizza its basically any way you like it. Enjoy:)

Worry Free Wednesdays

Well yes it would be nice if we all did have Worry Free Wednesdays, or worry free any days, but we don't, but one thing we do have if we are Christians is to give all our worries over to the Lord, and as humans it is very hard no to try and hang on to all of our worries and problems, but that's not what the Lord wants. He wants to give us peace and rest and to let us know that He is in control. And as a single mom I am trying so hard to allow Him all of my worries, am I being the best Christian mom I can be? Am I using His money to the best of my ability and to His will, of what He wants for my son and my lives? And now my biggest worry is we don't have a car, and yes, I am stressed and I am praying and giving my worries and stress to Him, knowing He will provide. So if we, as single moms, work together to give each other support and ideas on how to make our lives Worry Free, we can live better lives for us and our children. May God Bless you all from day to day.

Thankful Tuesdays

Being a single mom is very hard some days, but I am very thankful that God made me a  simple woman, I live simply, I do not keep up with the Jones, I really think I was born in the wrong century. I would of loved living back in the days of  "The Walton's" or "Little House on The Prairie". I'm thankful that I learned to cook, sew,and can foods at a young age, I just feel it helps so much in life. I really try not to take nothing for granted, I see and hear people around me complaining about things, and if they would just take a second and look around at all they do have, they would really see how blessed they are. P.S. I would of loved to have a house like this:)

Meaningful Mondays

Hello all, I want to try something new, with each new day of the week, I would like to start with a positive idea. So for today, my first meaningful Monday, I wanted to talk about things that mean the most to me. The most important thing in the world to me is, being saved and loved by the Lord. Other things that mean the world to me are, my son, my family, the beauty that surrounds me, my sight, my hearing, my gifts that the Lord has given me, compassion for others and trying to be the best person I can be, as the Lord wants us to be. Have a Blessed week :)

Time Saving Tip

Now that my son is in high school, Ive been running him around alot, to basketball games, practice for baseball, and back and forth to his friends house, so I need to find ways to save time in getting our house cleaned and laundry done, and what Ive been doing lately is deep cleaning 1 room at a time, for example, when I clean the kitchen, I do the dishes, we don't have a dish washer, and I move all the canisters and everything off the counters and wash everything down, I clean out the fridge and sweep and mop, so that room gets all done at once, and then the next day I can get to another room. And with our laundry, since I only have 1 child, I do our laundry on Sundays after church and lunch. Be Blessed and have a great weekend.
