The "Domestic Goddess"
On Wednesday, Logan had a 7th grade football scrimmage so I prepared the Tex-Mex beef and potatoes ahead of time and we just had to bakethe dish when we were ready to eat!!!! VERY VERY good.....we will definately be eating this again. I think I might double this one next time. Check out the Tex-Mex http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/velveeta-tex-mex-beef-potatoes-69173.aspx . On Thursday, I must admit that Shaun gave me some help with the Meatballs with tomato-basil cream sauce. Again, another awesome dish!!! http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/the-best-meatballs-114119.aspx . Friday night we went to the Eaton HS football game and watched them lose to St. Henry so we didn't fix din din at home. However, Saturday morning I started the crock pot lasagna and I also made a Texas Sheet cake!! Can I get a YUM YUM???? http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/slow-cooker-lasagna-114123.aspx . Then tonight, to please the vegetarian, I fixed cheesy chili soup.....yum, yum, yum. http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/cheesy-chili-soup-75566.aspx
Be sure to let me know if you try any of these recipes or if you have some good things for me to try. The key to my cooking happiness is ingredients that I can recognize and find in the store and minimal prep time! A BIG thanks goes out to Kraft Foods for inspiring such a good week and thanks to my family for trying everything.....even the vegetables!!!

Courage
I lift up my eyes to the hills
Where does my help come from
My help comes from the Lord
Maker of Heaven and earth
O Maker of Heaven and earth
Your foot shall never be moved
You'll never stumble
Or slip no never
He who watches Israel
He never slumbers or sleeps
No He never slumbers or sleeps
The Lord will keep you from harm
He watches over your soul
He will watch you come and go
Now and forevermore forever
Now and forevermore
Maker of Heaven and earth
Maker of Heaven and earth

My CTMH ~ Close To My Heart Business
Hello,
It's been a while since my last post and I've been busy with work and family activities. I wanted to post a little bit about my CTMH ~ Close To My Heart business. I signed up as a CTMH consultant back in 2001 as a way to support my scrapbooking/card making hobby. At the beginning of this year, I committed to turning my hobby into a "real" business and I'm finally up and going. Check out my website at www.kaylarussell.myctmh.com . I will be adding and updating the artwork section soon. The good news....I CAN now accept CREDIT CARDS!!! So be sure to check out the shopping tab https://kaylarussell.myctmh.com/Retail/RetailLanding.aspx?PageId=184 and place an order to get started on your projects. I plan on hosting a montly workshop so check back on my calendar soon!!
Last weekend, my Aunt Nancy was kind enough to host a workshop. She was fortunate enough to get over $40 in free product!!! So if you would like to host a workshop in your home or mine just send me a quick email and we will get it scheduled.

2009 EMS Geography Bee Champion!
Tonight I just have to brag.......
I am the proud Momma of the 2009 Eaton Middle School Geography Bee Champion!!!! Tonight, at 6:30 in the Middle School Auditorium, Logan competed against other 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in the school bee. As the first place winner, he received a Certificate, a medal, and a $20.00 Wal-Mart gift card! WooHoo! Now Logan advances on to the county wide Bee sometime in February.
A big Thanks goes to Grandma Genth, Grandma Miller, Dad, and Elinor for cheering him on!
Congratulations Logan!!!! I am SOOOO proud of you!!!!

Shopping
Here is our latest update:
Shaun - Felt a bit under the weather.....well MAJORLY under the weather with a severe sinus infection that swelled his eyes! After starting meds on Saturday, he is finally starting to perk up.
Kayla - Back to work on Friday and Saturday after a nice vacation from Christmas to New Year's.
Aubrey - Cheered for the Freshman Basketball game at Oakwood Saturday afternoon and then spent the night with her friend Taylor S.
Logan - Went to the skate with Isaiah M. and then spent the night.
Elinor - As you can see in the picture above, I have a SHOPAHOLIC on my hands! Elinor enjoyed spending the gift card that she got from her Aunt Kristy and Uncle Keith. Crafts is Elinor's favorite activity....so she got a placemat for her craft table, construction paper, paper pad, craft foam, and craft sticks!!!!! Wow~~~ 10 bucks goes a LONG way for a savy 5 year old!
I'm off to get on a CTMH conf. call.
