Little of this...Little of that!

I know that EVERYONE had the problem of getting home last night. I fortunately was already home before it started. My personal training clients cancelled earlier in the day b/c they didn't want to get stuck in the elements that were on the way! I'm glad that they did! I actually had to zig zag my way home in the very first snow storm that we had back in the first part of December. I was out in Cool Springs at my friends bridal luncheon and the snow piled up in a matter of minutes. It took me an hour and a half to get home when it would normally take me 25 minutes! So, since I was home and Brent was still at work( little did he know that it would take him over an hour to get home from downtown!! ) I decided to make the BEST snowy weather dinner :) My homemade chicken-n-dumplins! Cracker Barrel has nothing on me..haha! Out of all honesty, mine are really really good!

I boil chicken, take it out and shred it with a fork, and then put it back in the boiling chicken water. I then add chicken broth, a can of cream of chicken, 10-12 cubed biscuits, a little bit more water, and a sprinkling of pepper. It takes about 40-45 minutes to cook and get thick. 

       This is definitely one of our most favorite winter meals...EVER!!


As I have said before, I love having fresh flowers in our condo! I love the look of big vases filled with lovely, fresh flowers. What girl doesn't like flowers?! So instead of heading to Kroger to pick up some flowers the other day, I headed to Michael's to attempt to get real looking flowers and make my own arrangements! I found great flowers and greenery...and it was all on sale! I get very fortunate when I go to Michael's I feel like. Whenever I head over there, the items that I was going for always seem to be on sale! Here are the arrangements that I made:

                               This one is in the dining room

                   These are in our bedroom on our nightstands

Now these will last a lot longer than fresh flowers but I think look just as good!


Finally, I am just itching to get out of here and go to Chicago! We fly out of here around 8 Saturday morning and will get in to Chicago around 9:30..I love the short flight. One of the many reasons that I am anxious to get there is that I have a birthday present waiting on Michigan Ave for Brent!! I can't tell you what it is BUT I can tell you where it is...it's in the North Face store!

 I let Brent know that little hint earlier and he is really excited as I would be too! haha. You will soon see pictures of what it is. We hope everyone is staying safe and warm in this crazy weather!
