We had Tortellini Salad for dinner last night. We subbed cucs for the zuc, but otherwise left the recipe the same. The kids had seconds, so 2 great meals in a row. Go Mom!!! http://realmomkitchen.com/2766/summer-tortellini-salad/

Day 3***Week 1

I saw a cute cupcake keyring and did this for a swap on Swap-bot. Here is another version I made into a necklace. I did this one on the 3rd, but knew I be busy on the 4th. http://pinterest.com/pin/229050331018706873/ My cupcake necklace-

Day 2***Week 1

Roast Beef and Cheddar Wraps. We had these yummy wraps for dinner on Tuesday. The kids grubbed down, they are a hit!!! I mixed it up a little and didn't add cream cheese or cheddar. I used muenster and let the kids decide what sauce they wanted. Red/yellow/orange peppers were available to add. Plus lettuce and tomato. A fast, light and delish meal! http://pinterest.com/pin/257197828689787561/

Our newest feline :)

Here is Clarence. He was abandoned and my Dad found him. We were to take him to the shelter, but alas, he is a fine member of our family now. We named him after my Dad...hehe!

My oldest, Nick, is in his second semester of college. He is attending Pennsylvania College of Technology.

Tater is home with Mom.
Dad started a new job in December and is still working on enjoying it.
I've opened my Etsy store- Beck's Bits.
All is good in our crazy household.

We did lose Wilbur in October to a heart attack. The little guy was only a year old. Jill and the whole family was heartbroken.



We let her determine when she was ready for a new kitty. We went to the local shelter and she chose Benny-Bing-Bing. He is 2 yrs. old and could be Wilbur's twin in behavior. He's 99% grey with a small patch of white on his chest. How lucky we are to have him as a member of our family.
