Wealthy Wednesday's

What is a Wealthy Wednesday about?

ON Wednesdays I am going to be trying something new with my little ol blog!

Wednesdays will now be dedicated to creating cute ideas that keep your costs down and your wealth up! These will range from many different little project ideas or outfits that are strictly CHEAP! But still cute and in fashion!

Many of you have a certain little creative side that we don’t let out much because by the time I finish my project I have spent wayyy to much money! Well my favorite little website PINTEREST, would like to help!

I hope you enjoy today’s WEALTHY WEDNESDAY.

Things you might need?
  • Wine bottles (labels peeled off) 
  • small twine/rope
  • nails
  • flowers (fresh or fake) you decide
  • Water if fresh 
  • Decorative marbles, ribbon, rocks if fake (just something to help cover stems) 
I cannot exactly tell how they carried this idea out, but if it were me i would nail, nails into your surface of choice, wrap twine/rope around neck of bottle and fill with flowers (fresh or fake) and some decoration of water for fresh or (rocks, ribbons, marbles) if fake to cover stems. 




Until next time...Miss Whit

A tasty Tuesday!

Each Tuesday I will have a recipe that I have tried or wanted to try lately! Enjoy! (yes I'll work on my pictures for things I post!) it was 10 pm and I was hungry! Forgive me!



Chicken, and bacon, better yet, crispy bacon. They are two of my favorite foods both in one easy recipe. I had some extra boneless-skinless chicken breasts on hand and was looking for an easy dinner which brings us today’s recipe for Bacon Wrapped Chicken. What really surprised me was the amount of ingredients in this recipe, there are very few! I feel the chive and onion cream cheese is a huge ingredient in the flavor department and does most of the work for you. Try and pound the chicken breasts down with a mallet as thinly as possible because they will roll up a lot easier. If you want to do some outdoor grilling these can also be grilled as well. They go great with a side dish of pasta or flavored rice. Enjoy.

Ingredients:
12 boneless skinless chicken breasts halves
2 (8 oz) cartons chive and onion cream cheese
12 slices of bacon
salt (to taste)
2 tablespoons butter

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Between 2 sheets of wax paper with a mallet flatten chicken breasts to ½” thickness.
Step 2: Spread 3 tablespoons of cream cheese over each chicken breast. Then Dot with butter and season with salt. Wrap with bacon and stick a toothpick through the rolled chicken breast to hold it together. Roll up and stick a toothpick through to hold it together.
Step 3: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes (or until juices run clear).
Step 4: Turn on the broiler and broil six inches from the heat for 5 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.


This meal was also served with some yummy cheese potatoes!

Manic Monday

Well guess what today is?
Oh ya just another manic Monday!
Whew I nearly made it through!

Headache, still sleepy from the weekend & a really handsome man next to me was super hard for me to get up this morning! Puppies were still crashed out as I drove off into the calm before the storm (meant in many ways.)

Storm number 1- it's Monday and I was headed to work.

Storm number two was a wicked looking little booger brewing in the sky! But oh lord we are thankful for the rain! Except I guess I'll have to mow my yard for the second time this month!

The stresses of work keep on piling up- thank you OBAMA! Your making living happily virtually impossible.

What am I doing now? -yep you guessed it! Working till 8 pm! Blah! I just wanna go home and cook dinner! In my pjs. With my little "family."

This week I'll be getting organized again! & I'll have a new blog look and theme! It's time to get creative!
Each day will feature a topic & cute things to go along with it!
I am bound and determined to make h life a little bit sweeter and less bitter!
Ohhh 8 pm- until then I'll just brainstorm!

A little bit of Saturday

Most of my day was spent with a beautiful three year old who always manages to make my heart stronger. As many of you know I have a passion for children and I want some of my own someday! Madison and I started out our day playing with the puppies and then the park! Wow the park wore whit whit smooth out! Madi wanted to do everything by herself so that's what we did! We spent the rest of the day eating pizza, drinking Capri suns at Tom n Jackie's! Madison couldn't he enough! She wasn't ready to go home! Sacked out before we left shalimar an to meet her momma we went!

The rest of the day was pulling up boards and nails! And fixing the floor in the house where the dogs made a mess!! Project nEarly finished! Now if I can just get my tile laid! Daddy says he can do it for me!

Amber and bradley came down and I have been having girl time while the boys played outside...

Sleepy and ready for bed.
More hopin and wishing for something different!

Coffee & cat litter at midnight

This isn't a story that I would normally share outside our living room becAuse I seem to get easily embarrassed when it comes to this subject.

Bet I have you thinking all kinds of things at this point!

Haha here's the story of coffee & cat litter at midnight.

My very sweet hard working babe kind got caught up working yesterday and forgot to the let dogs in...Ohhh after all day! So we finally arrive home around 10 pm get the dogs watered and fed and well I was cleaning up an accident from one of our sweet darlings when Casey asked me if we could do something I have wanted to buy just wasn't strong enough to move one piece of furniture!

We quickly moved all the furniture out of the formal living room and started moving the very heavy entertainment center which was ruined so for the next twenty minutes or so we disassembled- very loud mind you at about 11:30 in a small quiet neighborhood! Oops!

Next we started to rip up the carpet to find out just how big of a mess we really had!

Evidently our sweet puppies were only doing what smelled natural to them by using the living room as the backyard!

Solution to this??

COFEEE AND CAT LITTER!

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow marks a big, possibly huge step for me. Why you ask?

Well because I am going to start seeing a counselor. (terrifying) I know. The first time someone mentioned this idea to me I absolutely BLOCKED it out. I didn't want anything to do with it. I thought only crazy people see shrinks. Nope this isn't like that. It's sitting down and having a conversation wit someone who is biased and choosing sides in my everyday life.

My support system is GREAT.

But, a lot of times talking to certain parts of it cause tension and maybe even some judgement on what I'm talking to them about. Or it causes relationships to in a sense separate. Sometimes I am my own worst enemy.

Why you ask?
My past isn't the prettiest thing in the world. Actually the majority of it is pretty screwed up. That big ole heart of mine kept me hanging on too long. After way to much bullshit I finally wised up and got out.

Our pasts do in fact shape us and make the life we want easier to figure out. But sometimes they can be detrimental to new friendships and mainly relationships. Our past also shapes confidence or in my case diminished it.

Confidence is something I'm definitely lacking. I don't know why. I've worked my rear off for everything that I have. And for a 21 year old in our time and day, I don't believe many compare. Confident statement or Cocky? So maybe I do have a little confidence left.

But it's time to turn a little bit into happy, confident, pretty-girl who is fearless and won't stop at anything to live her happily ever after. Before its to late.

I have the lord on my side and it's time to figure out where I'm headed and what road I need to take to get there. No more looking back. And only continue with the people who are really willing to stand beside me and put me first!

Here's to tomorrow & big steps towards the right road!

Because we aren't ever promised tomorrow and I wanna make sure I live my life to the FULLEST.

A little venting

Today has just been one of those days to where I just wanna crawl in a hole. I'm exhausted and new state bs at work is literally making me wanna rip my hair out. My safe place is home....sleeping! My biggest pet peeve is people who are frustrated with other points in life take it out on the ones closest to them. I mean we all get frustrated and I know that I do a lot. But it's my safe place that I need when im frustrated! Ok I think I'm done ranting! It'll all be ok-eventually
