I’ve been so busy this weekend, I’ll be probably posting more tonight than anything. I have a house to clean, I have to workout, I have both kids at home for the summer… AHHH!

We were busy this weekend with dance and soccer, hubby was also off all weekend so we spent a lot of ‘family time’ doing things.

Yesterday was the breakfast benefit for hubby’s friend Erik who passed away 2 weeks ago from Melanoma Cancer. It was a great turnout and I’d like to specifically thank ATG Stores and Perrysburg Super Suppers for also contributing to donations for the event.

The next benefit is a Spaghetti Dinner on June 26th at the Glass City Boardwalk from 12pm – 5pm. Donations are still very much welcome so if you’d like to donate or know someone who would, please contact me! Would love to see you there if you’re in the Toledo Area!

On another note, my oldest daughter has been sick the past couple of days, but yesterday and today have me perplexed. She played soccer yesterday, but even before that I noticed what looked like pimples on her chin and around her mouth, I didn’t think anything of it, just told her she needed to start washing her face better. After soccer yesterday and playing outside she came in and it was much worse. Not only is it on her face, but also all over her legs, chest, back etc.

Hubby seems to think it’s viral, I was thinking heat rash maybe as well. Any thoughts? It’s not bothering her, but I’m keeping her inside today, and if it keeps up we’ll be making a trip to the doctor.

Home repairs, home decorating… Both things that we normally do ourselves. We live in an older home and have had our fair share of issues with it.

Take for instance a few years ago, we woke up to our oldest daughter screaming “There’s Water Everywhere!” I’ll never forget it. As we jumped out of bed, we were greeted to a soaking wet carpet in the hallway, the toilet running, and a bathroom full of water. Ran downstairs and the kitchen was literally having a rain storm, water everywhere coming from the ceiling, floor was flooded, ran down to the basement, and you guessed it, water all over the place.

A running toilet all night went down from the second floor, to the basement. It was a hell of a repair, something we couldn’t do alone. Restoration companies had to come in,and the only good thing out of it,was that I was able to get my bathroom and kitchen redone!

That’s probably been the most ‘disastrous’ of situations in our home. Lately the thing we’ve been dealing with though is drain cleaning!

For whatever reason, our upstairs bathroom sink and tub clog every few weeks. We go through drain cleaner like crazy! Apparently the pipes are super old and they just build up and up. They’ll have to be replaced, I’m sure, but right now we just don’t have the money for all of that work that will have to be done.

So I’m glad in the 5 years we’ve been here, the only major repair we’ve had to do was that first incident with the flood,the drain cleaning is a pain, but not much of an issue.
What home repairs have you had to do? Any major disasters in your home?

As parents we’re BUSY! So finding time-savers and budget friendly meals for our family is probably a top priority for all of us. Eating out isn’t the healthiest, or the cheapest but sometimes it’s the quickest! That was until now…

I was recently introduced to an amazing cookbook that is a bestseller in both Australia and the UK and I can see it being a best seller here in the US as well. 4 Ingredients features HUNDREDS of yummy, time-saving and budget friendly recipes using four or fewer ingredients!

The 4 Ingredients cookbook was written by two moms who (like most of us) wanted to save themselves time and money and not spend the majority of their day in the kitchen. Kim McCosker & Rachael Bermingham have outsold Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson and Gorden Ramsey with their 4 Ingredients cook book selling over two million copies to date!

This book is amazing! Who would have thought that you could make so many things with 4 (or less) ingredients?! Not only that, but they’ve made it so easy that they even reduced the number of cooking utensils required to make the meals, the only measuring utensils required to make any of the recipes in 4 Ingredients are 1 teaspoon, 1 tablespoon, and 1 cup.

4 Ingredients contains more than 400 recipes that range from breakfast, to lunch, to dinner, and everything in between. From Antipasto Tarts, to Carrot & Coriander soup, to Apricot Chicken, to Tandoori Lamb, and Orange & Almond Cake, each recipe is delicious and most importantly, simple!

One of my favorite recipes in the book is the Stuffed Chicken Breast…

Stuffed Chicken Breast

Ingredients
4 chicken breasts
100g feta cheese, cut into small pieces
8 pieces semi-dried tomatoes, chopped (reserve some oil)
1 tbs. freshly chopped tarragon

Method
Using a long, thin knife and keeping the opening narrow, cut a pocket into the chicken breast (careful not to cut through), mix together cheese, tomatoes and tarragon, fill pockets with mixture and secure with toothpicks. Rub each breast generously with the oil from the tomatoes, and pan-fry for 20 minutes or until cooked through.

Optional: Sensational served with a rocket salad.
Serves 4

Never mind that there’s a ton of other recipes I’m just itching to try! And when your down to those last few items of groceries before a pay check or shopping trip, this book helps out tremendously!

You can check out 4 Ingredients by visiting their website 4ingredients.com.au or purchase the book via Amazon.com.
