Happy New Year!!  I rang in the new year with a horrible cough and cold, along with my kiddos.  It has knocked me out for the past couple of days, so needless to say, we did not get back to school today.  The bright side…at least we all had it together.  It seems I am always hit with something like this right in the new year, while I am eager to get things done.  Ugh!!  The sinus pressure is the worst, it’s time to get the Sudafed coursing through my veins so I can function today…well what’s left of it 😐

MOVIE REVIEW:
This is what the boys and I watched on New Years Eve. This was such a cute, clever movie with a good message to it.

LOL CHUCKLES, AND GIGGLES:

RECIPE WOULD LIKE TO TRY:
I’m in need of some comfort food, and this looks so delicious right now!! Definitely going to try this once I venture out to the store for some real groceries.

Classic Chicken and Noodle Casserole

How an Introvert Makes a Phone Call

This is spot on!! I thought it was just one of my quirks. So glad I’m not alone!! I’m also one who puts too much thought into making a call, I always wonder what the other person might be doing at the time I want to call them. When I convince myself that they are probably busy and I probably shouldn’t bother them, I don’t make the call, LOL. One of the comments on this article was “I don’t get it. i just pick up the phone and dial. the rest comes naturally.” If only 😐

CLEANING TIP TO TRY:
Salt to Clean an Iron: Remove sticky residue on your iron with salt. Simply turn the iron onto the hottest setting without steam and run it over salt sprinkled on paper or a cotton towel. Has anyone tried this?

I knew there was an easier way. The last time I cleaned my iron, I used a straight razor and my ‘Ove’Glove with the iron on, to scrap off the yucky stuff. Not an easy task, going to try the above tip, since I noticed it needs to be cleaned again.
