The other day I was in Wal Mart shopping for some much needed stuff since we live so far from an actual store! Yes, I would prefer Target much better!! Anyways, I was in the freezer section and noticed these awesome mix at home Jamba Juice smoothies! I absolutely love Jamba Juice, and when I noticed these I just had to get some and try!

Getting Back on Track!
Well I have been feeling like crap in the past few weeks, I have been getting major headaches, and tummy aches... And have been so very tired. I am tired of feeling bad, and am ready to get back on track.

A few of my favorite things!
This is so convenient and fast. It makes one cup of coffee small, medium, or large sized. It is nice because someone like me only drinks one or two cups in the morning so it's much easier than making a full pot of coffee in the morning and wasting over half of it. You put your k-cup in the filter and it makes the perfect cup of coffee. They also make k-cups in hot chocolate and tea's.
2. The Miche Purse!
I was just introduced to these and fell in love with them. I absolutely love these. There is a base that you buy, and then they sell shells for them. The shells are interchangeable, and you can change the look of your purse whenever you want! So fun, and easy. The picture shown is my most recent purchase of the shells. I love this one. For more info you can go here: http://www.michebag.com/
3. My Amazon Kindle!
This is probably my favorite out of these. I can download books from Amazon and read them on my device. I feel like it is much easier to read than an actual book for some reason, I'm not sure why. I have read so many books on this and I will never get tired of it. And, it saves me money rather than spending full price for books sometimes they even have free books available. It keeps all your books in one convenient place as well, which I love!
I swear I am not a spokesperson for any of these things. I just love them so much I thought I would share with you! They are all awesome!!

Recipe of the week!
Ingredients
1 whole Cut Up Fryer Chicken
2 whole Carrots, Diced
2 stalks Celery, Diced
½ whole Medium Onion, Diced (optional)
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoons Turmeric
¼ teaspoons White Pepper (more To Taste)
¼ teaspoons Ground Thyme
2 teaspoons Parsley Flakes
16 ounces, weight Frozen "homemade" Egg Noodles
3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
Preparation Instructions
Cover chicken in 4 quarts water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove chicken from pot with a slotted spoon. With two forks, remove as much meat from the bones as you can, slightly shredding meat in the process. Return bones to broth and simmer on low, covered, for 45 minutes.
Remove bones from broth with a slotted spoon, making sure to get any small bones that might have detached.
Add the carrots and celery (and onions, if using) to the pot, followed by the herbs and spices. Stir to combine and simmer for ten minutes to meld flavors.
Increase heat and add frozen egg noodles and chicken. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
Mix flour and a little water. Stir until smooth. Pour into soup, stir to combine, and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until broth thickens a bit. Test and adjust seasonings as needed.
The hubs loved this soup as well! He helped himself to 3 giant bowls of it :).

The Help
"You is kind, you is smart, you is important"
The help
I just finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It is one of the best books I have ever read. Seriously! It is one of those that I wanted to ge to the end to find out what happens, but at the same time I didn't want it to end. I could hardly put the book down!
The Help is about a young white woman in the early 1960s in Mississippi who becomes interested in the plight of the black ladies' maids that every family has working for them. She writes their stories about mistreatment, abuse and heartbreaks of working in white families' homes, all just before the Civil Rights revolution. That is the story in a nutshell - but it is so much more than just stories.
That's all I'm telling you!! Read the book!! It's simply amazing!!

Now they make and sell all kinds of different stuff. They have meats, fruits and veggies, drinks, pasta, chicken wings! All sorts of stuff!! I was looking through a catalogue from them the other day and it brought me back to my childhood. I loved eating those fudge sicles growing up!!
I think I might actually order a few things from them. Since my nearest big store is quite a ways out it might be easier to get some frozen fruits and vegetables from them. I'm not sure if I am keen on buying meet from a truck yet :).
Brings me back to my childhood!!

Making my home feel like a home!!
I will start with the bathroom. It is a very small space, and I am not sure how I want to decorate it yet. It has a tan color on the wall, which I MAY change.
As you can see, it has no shower curtain up except for the ugly white base one. The colors are bland. I want color and to liven it up a little!
This is what I have come up with! I love the colors in this room. I think this is something I can accomplish.
I will update you all when I finally start my projects, I am super duper excited!!
Loves!
