I also enjoy the bargaining process.
We went shopping that day with the measurements wrote down that would fit the space we were shopping for.
Handy Hubby had his tape measure and we both had the vision in our heads.
We also had a price point that we would not go over.
We were searching for something to re-purpose into a coffee station.
• Increasing elasticity and plumps the skin around eyes.
• Providing a youthful texture around the eyes.
• Moisturizing the delicate eye area to prevent premature aging.
• Useful for the entire face. Can be applied all over the face for an enhanced glow and a more radiant looking face.
Irish Colcannon Soup – Lenten Recipes

Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish of mashed potatoes mixed with cabbage. This recipe combines the same flavors, but the potatoes are used to make a creamy soup and mixed with cabbage for a hearty vegetarian soup.
MEAL PLANNING FOR BUSY FAMILIES
Written Reality
Do you wish you had more time to spend with your family and less time in the kitchen?
Or does the thought of cooking after a long day make you just want to order takeout?
So many busy families struggle with getting dinner on the table every night. But dinner doesn’t have to be stressful.

I think I have a thing for edible roses. Last Valentine's day I learned how to make chocolate covered strawberries that look like roses and this year I learned how to make a rose out of Hershey's kisses. I pinned this idea for strawberry roses on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately, it's one of those pins that's a dead end when you click through, but luckily there was enough information in the image to give me a basic idea of what to do. And after making a few of these strawberry roses, I can give you a few pointers and tips that worked for me.
To create this, I made a Raspberry-Cherry sauce and then layered it with MΓΌller® Ice Cream Inspired Vanilla Bean Yogurt. The sauce was made by combining raspberries and cherries with a little bit of water, and then cooking it down to release the liquid.
This strata showcases tomatoes, zucchini, bacon, and feta. Best of all? You don’t have to prep it the night before! By using a delicate, flaky croissant, the eggs and milk soak in quickly and perfectly.
My purse all too often becomes a catch all for the junk I encounter while out of the house.
It’s just too easy to toss something in my purse and deal with it later. Unfortunately, later can sometimes take a while to roll around. Receipts, old notes, and lots of lip products usually make up most of my purse clutter, but that changed yesterday because I decluttered my purse.
One thing we can be thankful for is God’s wisdom, which in turn makes us wise when we follow him. Serving these cute wise owl cupcakes will help us remember to be thankful, and it gives kids an added lesson in wisdom as well!
Shane and I both love to go to antique stores and auctions.
Many times we are looking for something with a purpose and we enjoy the hunt.I also enjoy the bargaining process.

Sewing is a timeless and highly useful skill. You can sew items for yourself, your friends, your pets, or your home. But if you’re a beginner, it may be hard to narrow down all the pattern possibilities and find a project that you’ll actually understand, and better yet, actually finish! So if you’re a total beginner or have a little more experience, check out these quick and easy sewing projects below!

Here is a delicious recipe just in time for St. Patrick’s Day! Guinness Chocolate Donuts with Baileys Glaze, yes and they are delicious. What is your favorite St. Patty’s Day Recipe? Since there is nothing to do because its so cold….yes 25 below zero is just crazy. I’ve been wanting to try these so I figured why not now! Do you have a Guinness fan or Baileys lover? I’m not big on beer but these were amazing!
I’m going to admit that I’ve wanted to a do a post like this for quite some time, essentially ‘A Day in the Life’ sort of bit, and for a few reasons. First and foremost is the pure self-indulgence of the process. Second, however, is to give a small glimpse into the sites day to day for those who may be unfamiliar with the process.

Joyce Meyer is one of my favourite Bible Teachers. The way she teaches has inspired me, challenged me and encouraged me. When she shares her testimonies and the struggles she has overcome with her temper and patterns of thoughts etc, I can totally relate to her, and I'm encouraged to see how God has used her and transformed her through His word.

“They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels.” ~Malachi 3:17~
“Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name.
We went strawberry picking the day before Valentine’s Day, so I made a few jars of my grandmother’s strawberry jam. I thought it would be artsy to use Valentine crochet canning jar covers on the jars I gave as gifts. A couple of weeks ago while strolling through Hobby Lobby, I picked up a few skeins of I Love This Cotton Yarn along with two or three packages of Valentine craft ribbon and one package of Valentine heart colored buttons. I had no idea what I was going to do with the buttons, but they were just too cute to resist. I probably should have picked up more than one package.
I decided I would share this CopyCat Chick-fil-A Chicken Salad Sandwich Recipe with you today. With warmer weather on the way, sandwich recipes are a great idea for lunches and quick and easy dinners. I shared our CopyCat Starbucks Egg Salad with you as well as our CopyCat Panera Tuna Salad Sandwich. All of these sandwiches are great and will allow you to whip up a quick meal.
So today I'm excited to finally show you my Laundry room. I was contacted by Danielle at Blissful and Domestic to do a You Tube Collaboration about a space in our home that we have decorated on a budget. My laundry room definitely fits that bill, its a DIYers dream. There were several projects I did in the laundry room that not only were cheap but came out beautifully. I hope you enjoy the video tour below! Don't forget to check out the other 8 collaborators videos as well.

Contentment
I'm so happy to be visiting Angel and all of you here at Sew Crafty Angel, I'm visiting from my corner of the world over at Heartbeats~ Soul Stains.
As one of Angel's Contributing Angels it's such a pleasure to be making connections with such a beautiful and kind-hearted woman! She's always looking at bringing the best out in others and shares her sweetness all over blog land :)
With November here, there is so much talk about gratitude and being Thankful. I'm participating in a month-long link up where you can share what you are grateful for in a blog post or in the comments every week. Visit here to check it out and spread some love.
In a post Angel wrote a while back she talks about all she is blessed with and taking the time to experience all the wonderful things life has. She especially makes a note about how important it is to stop and make sure those around you know how much you love them. In the spirit of Thanksgiving her post If I Had To Do It Over is a perfect reminder.
As I read her post I realize how much I desire to keep the heart of gratitude in me not only this month, but all the time. With this in mind, I think of the word Contentment. This was my toddlers word for the month a couple of months ago. At the time I thought how can a 2-year-old grasp that. I pondered on that thought and realized this is a gift we should be instilling in them at a very young age.
What does Contentment mean to me? It means that I am where I am and I accept it, embrace it and love it. Things may be troubled, I have deep sorrow and pain; but I am truly happy. I have everyone and everything I need. When negativity seeps in I must refocus and remind myself of the things in my life that are magnificent and beautiful.
As we approach the Holidays everything around us can be geared towards shopping and materialistic things. I love to give to others and bring smiles and joy to everyone around me. I do believe we can keep it simple. The most wonderful things I have ever received in my life were not tangible things at all. They were gifts of unconditional love. A gift I can give to myself is to be content.
In my eyes Contentment doesn't mean everything is perfect or that I am settling for the status quo. I always want to be striving to be and do better in certain aspects of life. I feel being content is a place I am at; at that particular moment where I am satisfied and filled with gratitude for all that I have.
My teenage daughter put things into perspective for me one day with an English assignment she had to do. You can read about it here. In her assignment she showed true happiness and contentment that is hard to find especially from a teenager.
![content[1]](http://heartbeatssoulstains.com/wordpress1/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/content1.jpg)
We all have areas we want to improve on or make changes in. That's the wonderful part of life, things change and we can always grow as human beings. Being content, happy and satisfied can be a freeing place to be. I find when I am able to be in this place of satisfaction I then can have an open heart and truly have genuine growth.
I love the scripture "Be still, and know that I am Lord" Psalms 46:10. This brings me to my knees and is a complete reminder that I am where I should be and must trust in HIM rather than myself. This is a hard area for me. When times are tough I have to constantly bring myself back to having complete faith and a thankful heart.
With Thanksgiving approaching are you filled with contentment and in a place of gratitude? When things are difficult is it hard to remember to be grateful?

He Restores My Faith In Humanity
Ir's so easy to get tired up in all the hustle in the world today. So easy to look the other way
or cross the street to avoid someone who looks different from ourselves.
I believe in God with all my heart but I often lose my faith in humanity.
And then I see things like these .......

April Favorites from The Beauty Secion
Seriously where has this month gone?! I still feel like it should be the middle of April! But here we are at the end of the month so it’s time for MONTHLY FAVORITES! April has been a great month, I love that the weather is finally starting to warm up and act right. Now let’s get this party started!
Asparagus, Goat Cheese & Pearl Onion Quiche from Frugal Mom Eh!
I wanted to really show off what Hens left alone to do Hen things could make… gorgeous Eggs! What better way to make use of these golden treasures than a delicious Quiche filled with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
DIY: A TP Candle from 3GLOL
What is a TP Candle you ask? Are you sitting down? It’s a candle made from a Toilet Paper Roll. Crazy, right? Who in the world thought one day “Hey, I think I’ll make a candle from my toilet paper.”?
You’re not seeing it yet are you? No worries, you’re not alone. I couldn’t see how you could do this using wax and a toilet paper roll. First off, you don’t burn this candle if that helps any of your concerns. Wait till you see how this is done.

Frozen Yogurt Bites from The (mis)Adventures of a Born Again Farm Girl
The littlest country kid LOVES yogurt. I mean like a junky looking for his next fix, he will stand in front of the refrigerator yelling "yogurt!!!" I am please he like his dairy products, but having just turned two, his spoon skills are lacking in the feeding yourself some yogurt department. It is just a mess I like to avoid. And frankly I don't want to sit down and spoon feed it to him, so what is a mama to do!?!? Frozen yogurt!
Being around for over 40 years is part of what helped Starbucks raise to the top as the world’s top coffee retailed. With over 16,850 shops in 40 countries, Starbucks has tested their fair share of drinks and gained more loyal customers than imaginable. The average Starbucks customer visits the store 6 times per month while a loyal 20% of customers go to the stores 16 times per month. Many customers head into Starbucks to get the day started or to keep pushing through a long day. A Starbucks grande coffee has 320 milligrams of caffeine, over four times the amount of caffeine in a Red Bull. I love me a good cup of coffee but I’m obsessed with making and trying to mock recipes. I’ve found 5 DIY Starbucks Holiday Drinks that are worth a try.
Growing Food Without Owning A Speck of Land from Northern Homestead
This is the very first time in our 20+ marriage years that we own some land. Not much, just about 1/8 of an acre. We’re so looking forward to Spring to get the garden started and grow some yummy food. However, as you know, this is not our first year of growing food. We have been growing food without owning a speck of land, and lots of food. So how did we do it? And what advice would we give to someone who does not own any land?
Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea from A Sparkle of Genius
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. What an important week. I hope that everyone remembers to take the opportunity to tell your kids teachers Thank You because teachers really are amazing. Our school does a really good job appreciating our teachers. They have a special activity planned every day of the week including door decorating, favorite meals, favorite snacks, etc so the teachers feel extra special. We are very lucky to have two great teachers right now so I am excited for my kids to give them their teacher appreciation gift.
