Q: How do you find time to blog, cook, and be a mother/wife/homemaker?

A. It is all about balance, which believe me, I am no where close to accomplishing. First and foremost, I am a wife and mother. My kids and hubby will always come before blogging. Blogging, while it is wonderful to have this as a side-job, is still my hobby. I thoroughly enjoy blogging. I have come to meet some amazing friends through the blogging world. I figure, I have to cook/bake anyways, so the blogging comes easy for me because my blog is about something I am already doing. My home on the other hand is what I feel lacks the most attention. On any given day I am in the kitchen, more than likely you will find my home is a little messier than normal. When the kids go to bed at night, is when my homemaker magic happens, only to be messed up again once playtime starts in the morning. Luckily, I married a man who is SO supportive of me and my hobbies. When he comes home, he will take the kids for an hour so I can have some "me time." This is the time I am usually found blogging.

A: HAHA! I do allow myself to try every dessert I make.... really, sweets are my weakness! But luckily, I can't eat a lot of sweetness at one time. They get sent lots of places, I always save enough for my husband to try them, but most of the time, they are delivered to neighbors or my husband's co-workers. I am very well known around his office :)

A: HANDS DOWN my CROCK POT! Oh goodness! This is my favorite thing in my kitchen. It makes dinner time SO EASY! Not to mention, my house smells like heaven all day long when its on working its magic! If you don't have one, I highly recommend getting one.

and it may just make it to this page!
