Painting..

Yeah painting.. I HATE IT! I have always hated painting! But it has to be done so I did some.. We started in Nathan's bedroom. A friend of ours came to help us out for a couple of hours! Lance (Jewy) fixed my door knob, trimmed the paint in Nate's room and checked some outlets. If he hadn't shown up today, I don't think we would have started painting. Thank you Jewy!!!

I went to the house around 12:30pm to start pulling nails out of the walls. I kid you not, there is a pile of nails and sinkers on my counter right now! The previous owners were nuts with how much they hung. Joe barked that I am not allowed to put nails into the walls to hang stuff, but little does he know I will be hanging stuff!! Once I buy stuff of course! We were not allowed to hang things in the apartment so I never bought home decor! Regretting it now though! And I have ZERO interior design skills!!! This could get messy haha!

Tomorrow is Kaylee's last day as a second grader!! Man that makes me feel old! But then I remind myself that I had her young so I'm really not THAT old!

Joe's sister Lori came back to the house today to help watch the kids so we could get some work done. She took them to Lowes to get some flowers and then to McDonald's to get them some food. By the time she came back she let me know that my kids are a hand full! which I already knew haha but I'm glad I'm not the only one to see that. She actually came into where we were painting and said to me "I don't know how you do it!". I told her that I wasn't sure haha but they are more then a full time job. Now if my husband could realize that. He thinks I just sit on my bum all day long haha. Yeah right! My kids make that physically impossible!! I would trade him jobs in a heartbeat if I could!

I am hoping we can get into the house tomorrow without any of the kids! They make it very difficult to get any work done. Love them dearly, but it really is tough to work with them around.

We didn't get the garbage disposal replaced, the faucet replaced, or anything else we wanted to, but that's how life goes!! Tomorrow is another day and we will get more done little by little. But for now, I'm going to bed!! It has been another long and busy day but you can't expect anything else when you buy a home let alone a home that needs a little tlc!

Marry Me Meatballs

 I can’t say no to crockpot recipes and Your Barefoot Neighbor shared this one so I had to try it. I’d like to say my children aren’t picky but they all have their own quirks when it comes to food and my youngest daughter didn’t care for the sun-dried tomatoes. Everyone else enjoyed it as it is.  Marry Me Meatballs Ingredients 2 lbs frozen Italian meatballs 4 C chicken stock 1 jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped  1 can cream of chicken soup Italian seasoning Garlic powder Onion powder  Red pepper flakes 2 lbs gnocchi (shelf stable ones) 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream Baby spinach  Shredded Parmesan cheese (I used shaved Parmesan) Directions Add meatballs, chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, sun-dried tomatoes and seasonings to crockpot. Cook on high for 3 hours. When that is done add in your gnocchi, heavy cream and baby spinach and cook for another 30 minutes on high. Top with the Parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic toast.

Sausage & Rice Casserole

 Last night we failed to pull anything out of the freezers for dinner. Seems to be a common thing here in this house and it’s quite frustrating. I went to my fridge and saw the mushrooms I had gotten and remembered there was a TikTok recipe for them. Y’all this was the EASIEST meal!  Sausage & Rice Casserole Ingredients  1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage 2 pouches of Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice  1 1/2 C. Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese, shredded  1 can of golden mushroom soup 1 package of sliced mushrooms  Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown sausage, add in mushrooms once almost all the way cooked. While that’s cooking down, pop your rice pouches in the microwave per the instructions. When they’re done add them in with the sausage and mushrooms. Also add in your can of golden mushroom soup and the shredded cheese. Mix it all up and put in the oven for 15 minutes.

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes

Oh man! This side dish is absolutely one we will be keeping around! It’d be really good on the smoker too! I do feel like it’s missing some seasonings so the next go around we will play with adding in some smoked paprika and garlic too!  Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes Ingredients   8 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced 2 medium onion, sliced into rings salt and ground black pepper to taste 6 tablespoons butter 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 4 cups milk 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese   Directions   Gather all ingredients.
