from humans. Now magically buried in the depths of the ocean, it is the source
of all magic. All is well in the magical world…until the leaders of Atlantis
listen to the whims of a mad man. <br />
<br />
A group of teens set out on their own unique quests to fight for the world they
love. They face dangers they didn’t know existed. As they battle their way
through mysterious tunnels and secrets of the ancient world, they find
themselves in a race against time. One by one, the mad man will shut down the
Gates of Atlantis and destroy the magic. Can these unlikely heroes stop him
before it’s too late? <br />

I am super excited about this new adventure and can't wait to offer all the great products to you! My absolute favorite part about this whole thing is that everything is JUST $5.00. That's right only $5.00 jewelry! Hook me up I'm sold.<br />
<br />
Jewelry is fabulous and I love wearing it but once I started having babies I stopped wearing it because they pull on it and have broken to many of my more expensive pieces. So to stop all the sadness about my broken jewelry I just stopped wearing it! Well I've started wearing it again. This jewelry is gorgeous and I am in love with so many of the pieces! If one just happens to break from my kids constantly pulling on it then I don't feel so bad about it breaking. Most of the time I can fix it, if not I go buy another piece I love! <br />
<br />
The items that I sell are: <br />
<br />
Necklace and earring sets (sold together for only $5.00) <br />

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Jake, a soon to be college graduate stumbles upon
an ad in an art magazine. The town of Niederbipp is looking for a new potter to
replace, Isaac, the seventh potter in a long string of potters reaching back to
1717. For the past 8 years, Jake has dreamed of being a village potter. He
applies for the job, despite his plans for the summer and to his surprise, is
awarded the Pottery, an apartment and a vast collection of old pots. With the help of his
new friend Amy, Jake begins to piece together the secrets of life Isaac lived
by and shared with all who knew him.</div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
This
is a fun read. You really get to know the town’s quiet little charm and spunk;
as well as the eclectic mix of people that live there. Seriously once you read
it you’ll be wishing the town of Niederbipp truly existed, so you could visit
the charming town and people who live there. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>It is the first of three books in the series. It is fantastic and leaves you wanting to read the other two. I truly loved Jake and wanted
everything to work out for him, he is a real and likable character. Don’t be
intimidated by the length of the book, it is a really quick and easy read. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
A little more background info on the author, Ben
Behunin, he is a Utah native and a real life potter, so he knows what he’s
talking about with all the pottery in the book. He actually opens his home
sudio twice a year for people to come and view/purchase his pottery creations. Quite
the experience, he is very talented. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The circus arrives without warning. No
announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within
the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full
of breathtaking amazements. It is called <i>Le Cirque des Rêves</i>, and it is
only open at night. <br />
<br />
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two
young magicians, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this
purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in
which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a
remarkable battle of imagination and will… <br />

The game must play out, and the fates of everyone
involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons,
hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Description:</b> Thirteen-year-old,
half-breed banshee, Seven, likes her life. She leads souls safely to Death and
she has the planet’s most awesome dad and little brother. But a cryptic message
from Atlantis asking for her help changes all that. And then there’s Death, who
has decided it’s time to take her brother’s soul. Now she’s racing across the
world, trying to stay one step ahead of Death.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, getting to Atlantis from Ireland isn’t easy, there are evil
minions determined to keep her away every time she turns around. But fighting for
their lives teaches Seven one very important lesson—she isn’t human, and she
isn’t a banshee. She has to be both if she wants to save her brother and make
it back home alive.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Description:</b> Thirteen-year-old
merman, Exander, wants to leave Atlantis to mingle with the humans and explore
the world above. Talia, his best friend, wishes she was a guardian of a gate
leading to the surface. She'd keep those nasty humans out of her beloved city
of Atlantis. When Talia accidentally short circuits a gate, Exander is trapped
on the wrong side, getting a crash course in navigating the human world. As
Talia fights to help Exander come home, she learns someone is closing the other
gates, and it’s destroying the magic of Atlantis. If they can’t convince the
magical creatures of the world to save the gates, the destruction of Atlantis
will only be the beginning.

Talon is in trouble...again. He didn't mean to burn down the school library. It
just happened. Things like that always happen to Talon. His life is a mixture
of the weird and bizarre. No one else he knows can shoot fire from their hands
or cause an earthquake...but he can.<br />

Every night the same dream haunts Talon: the destruction of an underwater city.
He doesn't have a clue what it means but he feels like fate is trying to warn
him. It's not until he runs away with his foster sister Hattie that he
discovers his trouble-making powers and strange nightmare are connected.
Together they are the key to saving magic...to saving Atlantis.</div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Honestly I have only read one of these books,
however being on the inside of the interworking of this series I have a good
idea of what each book entails. They are written to be a series but technically
could be read separately. The one book that I have read is number 6, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Battle for</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Acropolis. </i>It was a fabulous book and could be read, like each of
the books, on its own, however it helps tremendously to read each book to get
the whole story. The characters appear throughout the different books in the series.
Saying this, I read the last book in the series and when introduced to a huge
amount of characters in the end of the story became a little confusing
remembering who everyone was. I feel the confusion would have been avoided if I
knew these characters better from reading the books they “star” in as well. I
look forward to reading the other books in this series and would recommend
anybody to read the series in its entirety </div>

With school getting ready to start up again I’m hoping I
will have more time to devote to my blog. Bean is going into Kindergarten and
Buggy will start preschool. My babies are growing up so fast! My goal is to
start reviewing books, and posting them on a weekly basis. Book Review Tuesday!
One of my favorite things to do (when I can find the time) is reading! My
husband is constantly telling me I read far too much, and to my author husband
I said if it wasn’t for people like me he’d be out of a job :) needless to say
he doesn’t bug me about reading anymore ;) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I thought why not put more into my reading and
help other people find good books out there to read and also which to avoid… in
my opinion anyways. So here is goes…
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The book I would like to start with is very dear to me! One
of my favorite books that I have read too many times to count… the book is
falling apart if that tells you anything.</div>

Red Castle ... an ancient citadel of wine-red
stone in the heart of Utah's primitive High Uinta Mountains. Hidden away near
its rocky base, a small plane lies twisted and broken. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
The four men ... desperate, ruthless, will stop at
nothing to retrieve the plane's valuable cargo, but their only clue to its location are the words ... Red Castle.<br />
Jesse
Chisholm ... rugged, lonely, one of the new breed of modern Mountain Men. As a
geologist for the Forest Service, he calls the wilderness his home and only the
mountains know the secrets of his heart.<br />
Melissa Heydon ... spirited, young, in
love with life, the mountains, and Jesse Chisholm.</div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
This book is seriously one of my all-time favorite
books. It is one of the first books I can remember reading and is a big part of
why I love reading so much! I can’t remember quite when, sometime in my early
high school years, I was bored during the summer so my mom made me read this
book. I fell in love with it and have been a read-a-holic ever since. That
summer I went through countless novels and haven’t stopped reading since. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
I couldn’t tell you a bad thing about this book, I
love everything about it! Dorothy is great at painting a picture in my head of
the scenery and things she describes. When I read her books I feel like I’m
watching a movie in my head as I read. </div>

For mother’s day I had a mother and daughter “Tea” Party. It was super fun! All of the moms and daughters loved it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYLhFl0uuSLQFCDXZbA31_CLChrUyKkgARUsiopoLSzzaPSBN8bO3fcB770P9q0rK4KSahqZx78oTMdwjMdItvy8uToTQjzmoGCtMXmyt6G1BF266Q3IamAkFh4EXJvZSCjzJkTWr5ke7f/s1600/DSC_0013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYLhFl0uuSLQFCDXZbA31_CLChrUyKkgARUsiopoLSzzaPSBN8bO3fcB770P9q0rK4KSahqZx78oTMdwjMdItvy8uToTQjzmoGCtMXmyt6G1BF266Q3IamAkFh4EXJvZSCjzJkTWr5ke7f/s1600/DSC_0013.JPG" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>
First off I set the table with (some of) my tea pot collection, lace doilies sugar bowls with sugar cubes and of course tea cups and plates. I’ve collected dishes from thrift stores, my great grandma and borrowed some from my mother’s china collection. I also used the chair covers we made for my wedding, the fancier the better right?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the food I made tea sandwiches. Cucumber Dill, Ham and Cheese, Bacon and Tomato, and can’t forget good old PB&J. I also served carrots with ranch dip, and fruit (strawberries, grapes, and watermelon cut bite size). For dessert I had assorted cookies (yes bought from the store) and the little cream puffs and Éclairs found in the freezer section. To drink, why pink lemonade of course, and water!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When all the guests arrived we all dressed up! Seriously the most fun
of the party. I had a variety of dresses, scarfs, jewelry, and of
course hats! You can’t have a tea party without hats! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5BTViSZ2gl1pEI6PbgKKf152IJmF4Ou3m9dJmbHbTxC7X6eu0SbqqAlXtjR3DQKIAqN0VCoHeD-NuW5tNfJHXMlqR3a2Zw2i1_byr2296QzkBaMRoSRofcGb3u7CPccEXrk3brWut59Bs/s1600/DSC_0023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5BTViSZ2gl1pEI6PbgKKf152IJmF4Ou3m9dJmbHbTxC7X6eu0SbqqAlXtjR3DQKIAqN0VCoHeD-NuW5tNfJHXMlqR3a2Zw2i1_byr2296QzkBaMRoSRofcGb3u7CPccEXrk3brWut59Bs/s1600/DSC_0023.JPG" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>
Again most of
these items I found for cheap at thrift stores or family closets. Even
the dollar store was great! That’s where I purchased all of the hats
(around Easter time). Who doesn’t love to dress up? I even pulled out
some make up (from the dollar store).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once we were all dressed up we ate lunch, then all the girls played while the adults we able to chat for a while, when the guest left they got a tea set (purchased at the dollar store) so they could remember and have more tea parties together!
Everyone had a blast and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! I will for sure be hosting another!<br />

read a lot of books in this family! Every night the girls get to pick out two
books each. They have their favorites that get read again and again, and then
they had some we didn't get past the first four pages. I noticed my
girls had their opinions of what made a good and not so swell book. So I had a
crazy thought, "why not start a review blog and share what these two girls
think?" So I asked the girls. They were all for it. Why not? This would make
sure daddy didn't cop out when it was reading time. (Yes, sometimes
when I am tired, reading a picture book is the last on my list, but I do it for
my girls.) So we started <i>Daddy's Girls Book Reviews</i>. We plan on making
posts that share our reviews and opinions on picture books, chapter books, and
lower-level middle-grade books. We not only post our reviews here on the blog,
we share our reviews on amazon.com, b&n.com, and goodreads.com. Our hope is
to encourage those fantastic authors and illustrator to create more
fabulous books for us to read together. </span><br />

<b><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Daddy’s
Girls Review: </span></b><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
was a book we read again and again! It was engaging and fun. 3-year-old Bean
says, “I thought the monster was going to eat me! It turned out he only wanted
kisses. I liked the monster, he is cute! The art is fun, especially the ‘pickle
thorns’.” We recommend this book to anyone who wants a fun story with a
surprise at the end.</span></div>

Ever since Daddy took Bean and Buggy to see the Disney movie <i>Frozen</i> they have been obsessed! They both can sing every song word for word as they do the actions/dancing that goes along with them. So naturally, when it came time for Bean to choose the Valentines she would like to take to preschool she wanted Elsa and Anna ones. After searching for them in lots of stores, I was only able to find them online but wasn’t impressed, so we did the next best thing and made our own. I got my idea and with Daddy’s Photoshop skills it came to life!<br />

<i>Do You Want to Build a Snowman</i> is one of the girls’ favorite songs from the movie so I had the idea to use that and give treats for building a snowman. So included in the bag are: Three large marshmallows for the body, two small marshmallows for his feet, two pretzel sticks for arms, five raisins for eyes and buttons, and of course an orange candy for the nose! I found a picture online that we liked, and Daddy added in the words I came up with on Photoshop. Hence our <i>Frozen</i> valentine was created! Bean absolutely loves them and can’t wait to give them to her friends on Valentines day!<br />

I left a boarder on the top of the cards when I cut them out to fold over with the bag then to attach the card and close the bag I stapled at the top corners. On the back white boarder I wrote, Love Bean.

<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
4 medium sized potatoes</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
2 tablespoons butter</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
4 pieces of bacon </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Salt</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Sour cream for dipping</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Method:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Wash potatoes very good. Prick each potato several
time with a fork. Place potatoes in microwave at least an inch apart and cook
on high 4-6 minutes or until slightly firm, turning in two minute increments.
Set aside to cool. Place bacon on a plate between two paper towels, microwave
for 2-4 minutes, rotating every minute, until crispy. Cut each potato in half
and scoop out the centers leaving about a ¼ inch boarder. Place the potato
centers into a small bowl. Once all the potatoes are scooped, mash the centers
with butter until smooth (add a little milk too if desired), salt to taste. Arrange skins on a plate. Place
filling back into skins making them level. Top each with cheese pressing into
the filling slightly. Crumble bacon and sprinkle on top. Microwave for 2
minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream for dipping. (You
can also broil them to melt the cheese if doing a larger quantity). ENJOY!</div>

I saw ideas for dress up aprons on pinterest, there are a lot out there! So I do what I do best, show daddy my idea, tell him I want them for the girls, and I put him to work! That's right Daddy does the sewing in this house! I'm all for making blankets and quilts but daddy does everything else! We came up with a list of all the Disney princesses and then added other people the girls know, we came up with 25+ ideas. We are hoping to have them all done for the girls for Christmas.<br />
<br />
I thought I would post the first few that we have done so far and will post the others as they get done. Keep in mind these are Daddy's original ideas of what each princess/character's apron should look like. He did use a basic apron pattern for the general shape and size but has created each unique one himself...I know he is talented, much more than me in this aspect, hence he does the sewing projects! Enjoy!<br />

I love everything about it, the decorations, giving gifts, the reason why we celebrate, and of course all of the baking and candy making! I grew up making candy with my grandma and mom for every Christmas for as long as I can remember! I have so many memories of that and love that my girls get to enjoy it as well. It's now four generations making candy not three and I love that my girls get to make the same memories as i have of this beautiful holiday season!</span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We only made two kinds of candy when I was growing up but now I have created more recipes and fun candy recipes. This one was created especially for my dad, he absolutely loves mint and his favorites are mint sandwiches so I came up with a super simple way to make them at home! Hope you can use this easy recipe to create many memories of candy making with your family!</span></span><br />

I know this is a last minute post but hopefully you can use some ideas for your own fun!<br />
<br />
This year I decided to do a count down calendar for my girls where we
will do some sort of Christmas activity everyday rather than getting
treats or toys! So here is my idea!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9K2_YbbY8TFOINZu6cdiIQkJzhpZ6cSHWB4NlqDhXs7anf5I9SjjMHcT8LJ1t-MO-BfxhmR0q6swJT3w-m0W7t-q-QvlQVDuiFgpWZIxwjaQmVVmb1OdD3RJA5TY6R9t2OVkO_dmNI802/s1600/DSC_0050.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9K2_YbbY8TFOINZu6cdiIQkJzhpZ6cSHWB4NlqDhXs7anf5I9SjjMHcT8LJ1t-MO-BfxhmR0q6swJT3w-m0W7t-q-QvlQVDuiFgpWZIxwjaQmVVmb1OdD3RJA5TY6R9t2OVkO_dmNI802/s640/DSC_0050.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
First I did the containers, it took me a while to come up with how I wanted to do them. I finally decided to use Crystal Light containers. We go through a lot of Crystal Light at my house so I started saving the containers. Next I went through all my scrapbook paper for Christmas print and also red and greens. You could also use wrapping paper to cover the containers. I glued the paper down with Mod Podge. Cut out circles with my Cricut and printed the numbers on my computer. I used fancy edge scissors to cut out the number circles. I used mini glue dots to stick them all together and onto the containers. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir07dO_psroldGFhzxeprZu5qcWrDqH6dkdfHBhvr4MbvX4W3hLEKhUlV8DIB0wnDNxNSxxc5w6Z6dYQbFOBdDdwoyCCYxefo9XIQr0ijdtjYw4EkYHqtjlr0skAuKsNjPyARoRiDYTYbB/s1600/DSC_0051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir07dO_psroldGFhzxeprZu5qcWrDqH6dkdfHBhvr4MbvX4W3hLEKhUlV8DIB0wnDNxNSxxc5w6Z6dYQbFOBdDdwoyCCYxefo9XIQr0ijdtjYw4EkYHqtjlr0skAuKsNjPyARoRiDYTYbB/s640/DSC_0051.JPG" width="640" /></a>Next I came up with a list of activities to do. Typed up a list. I printed them on red and green cardstock paper. cut up the strips and put them into the right numbers. Make sure to print a list for yourself so you know what days are what so you can be prepared with the materials you will need. Here is the list that I came up with. <br />
<br />
1: Put up window clings (I bought a couple sheets at the dollar store)<br />
2: Write letter to Santa<br />
3: Make snowflake craft(Use coffee filters, fold in a triangle, paint with water colors. Let dry then cut out little designs, unfold and hang up)<br />
<br />
4: Make Christmas cards and take them to the post office<br />
5: Make Christmas wreath craft (trace kids hands on green cardstock or construction paper cut out and glue together in a circle. Use finger tips in red paint to make berries. Han<span style="font-size: x-small;">g</span> up)<br />
<br />
6: Christmas shape Pancake dinner <br />
7: Christmas tree craft (<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://goo.gl/4tMeXK">http://goo.gl/4tMeXK</a>)</span><br />
<br />
8: Read Christmas stories<br />
9: Play Christmas Don’t Eat Pete (Print and Laminate)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-GOMrOg79y1ia7s42CaflEm-pJwpalVKMQHxeKbokqJvTpWae-uVCrxQd5PWNFzjP8YnnKsLX6rfz3CO_W7bTuaTylZ-k-fDtyBR5jSuqzjV_Z9o3xme8hFXEA2ws4gpGRHoeXe1RrTVv/s1600/dont+eat+pete+Christmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-GOMrOg79y1ia7s42CaflEm-pJwpalVKMQHxeKbokqJvTpWae-uVCrxQd5PWNFzjP8YnnKsLX6rfz3CO_W7bTuaTylZ-k-fDtyBR5jSuqzjV_Z9o3xme8hFXEA2ws4gpGRHoeXe1RrTVv/s640/dont+eat+pete+Christmas.jpg" width="494" /></a></div>
Instructions: place a small treat (m&ms, skittles, smarties, cheerios...) on each square. Send someone out of the room and decide who "pete" will be. have them come back into the room, they choose one treat at a time and get to eat it. When they choose the designated "pete" everyone else yells "Don't Eat Pete" that person puts back that treat and their turn is over. <br />
<br />
10: Go look at Christmas lights<br />
11. Decorate a gingerbread house<br />
12: Make snowman craft<br />
13: Grow a candy cane (instructions and printables here<span style="font-size: x-small;"> http://goo.gl/JshgQx)</span><br />
<br />
14: Color wrapping paper/wrap presents (we bought white wrapping paper to have the girls color on)<br />
15: Color a Christmas picture and hang it up on the wall<br />
(a great website: <span style="font-size: x-small;"> http://goo.gl/zL217B)</span><br />
<br />
16: Decorate Daddy like a tree (Daddy holds his hands out, wrap him up in green crepe paper and tape shapes cut out of paper onto him)<br />
17: Make Christmas ornaments (I bought a kit for foam ornaments)<br />
18: Have a Christmas dance (dress up the girls in their Christmas dresses and let them dance to Christmas music)<br />
<br />
19: Make Santa face craft (make a face on a paper plate, glue on cotton balls for his beard)<br />
20: Christmas action card game (original idea came from here but we made our own http://www.oopseydaisyblog.com)<br />
(Print and Laminate)<br />

21: Tell the Christmas story with nativity set<br />
22: Make cookies<br />
23: Go caroling and deliver goodies to older neighbors<br />
24: Open a present early<br />
<br />
Next step is to have the kids open one a day and see what fun lies ahead. I hope you enjoy these ideas and have as much fun with them as we will!<br />

</xml><![endif]-->Here is a great recipe for a Thanksgiving turkey! I love to cook with citrus, especially when roasting whole birds, like turkeys or chickens. I seriously don't recommend stuffing turkeys with stuffing, they take longer to cook and it dries out the meat! The crock-pot is the best place to create a yummy stuffing! <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://familyisfriendship.blogspot.com/2013/11/harvest-crock-pot-stuffing.html" target="_blank">Harvest Crock-Pot Stuffing</a>. <span style="font-size: small;">So change up your turkey this year with this tasty bird!</span><br /> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Pull out
the giblets and neck of the turkey. Using cool water, rinse out the cavity and
outside of the turkey, pat dry with paper towels. Rub the butter around the
whole turkey, covering all the skin. Quarter the lemon and the orange. Place
the rosemary and sage leaves inside the cavity of the bird. Squirt ¼ of the
lemon and ¼ of the orange over the turkey. Place all pieces of the citrus
inside the cavity. Generously sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Cover
turkey loosely with foil; remove foil 30-40 minutes before it’s done to brown.
Cook according to the packaging directions, depending on size of bird, takes
anywhere from 3-5 hours. To test for done-ness insert a meat thermometer into
the thigh, not touching any bones, a turkey is done once it reaches 180 degrees f. (or just
rely on the trusty pop-up one most turkeys come with) Once the turkey is fully
cooked remove from the oven, cover with foil and allow to rest for 25-30 minutes.
Remove foil and carve. ENJOY!</span></div>

Thanksgiving is filled with fun family traditions. Some old and some new. Each year we go around the dinner table and share with the family what we are most grateful for. It is nice to take a moment away from the endless amounts of food to reflect on what this meal is all about. This year for Thanksgiving we wanted to add another fun thing to our list of traditions: Blessing Mix. This is just a small gift bag of goodies to share with family and friends but it helps to remind us of the symbols of the holiday. <br />

My oven was over run with other foods and I wanted everything hot at the same time... so enter crock-pot! I am not a huge stuffing fan, never have been, Daddy and Bean on the other hand love love love it! So here is what I created for them! I posted this on my recipe blog last year, but thought it deserved a second post here...Enjoy!<br />

Of course Bean's favorite book is one written for and about her. She has imaginary friend dragons that are all over our house and follow us where ever we go. Her favorite one is Danny, the big green one who is always with her, Dora the purple dragon is always being mean, whenever Bean gets hurt its always Dora's fault either tripping her or biting her or countless other things she has come up with.
<i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>Bean's Dragons</i> is about Bean and her dragons who always get her into trouble!

I don't think I have met a parent that hasn't had a hard time getting their little ones to help around the house. We tried everything from silly threats about taking toys away to time out. This always resulted in the girls breaking down into fits and Mommy and Daddy ended up cleaning up the house by oursleves. We had to come up with something.<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="color: black;"> That's when we instituted the "Good Girl Jar". </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="color: black;">It sits front and center on the kitchen counter. Next to it,
is another jar filled to the brim with fuzzy-feel-goods (basically
colorful pom-poms). Whenever the girls do something nice, like say pick
up their toys, they get to pick a fuzzy-feel-good out of the jar to put
in the "Good Girl Jar". When all the fuzzy-feel-goods
are in the "Good Girl Jar" they get a special reward like being taken
out for pizza, a new toy, or a fun family activity. Incentives work
great with kids. They are willing to show you how hard they will work to
earn that special prize. It becomes a game, and it helps Mommy and Daddy not have to resort to threats.</span></span></div>
