Do You Love Your Camera?

I am just now starting to look at Camera's and would love suggestions if you have any! I am looking at Digital SLR's. And, I honestly know nothing about them!

Thanks for your help, tips, advice, ets! :)

Menu Plan Monday

Trying hard to get back into this! It is really good for my family for us to have planned meals! We save time and money by only going to the grocery once a week (instead of multiple times) and we don't eat out as much!

Also, we are trying something new to get better at regular hospitality. We are having friends over to eat with us each Monday night. I think this will be really good for all of us, too! And, it makes me keep my house clean! :)

Also getting back into baking my bread every Monday! I stated a big batch, enough for 8 loaves this morning! Yeah!

Breakfasts: cereal, smoothies, yogurt with granola, pancakes, cereal and fruit, smoothies

Lunches: eating out, leftovers, lunch-able type things, 1-2-3 lunch, sandwiches

Dinners: eat out, brisket with mac n cheese, corn on the cob, beans, and bread, chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans, leftovers, weight watchers pasta with broccoli, Stromboli

NieNie on Oprah

Did any of you guys see NieNie on Oprah yesterday? Oh, it was really good. If you missed it go here and read about the interview on Oprah.com.

I found Stephanie Nelson's blog sometime around the first of the year and her story just tore my heart out. She survived a plane crash just barely, having burns over 80% of her body. You read her blog and you are right there with her. You see her sorrow, her accomplishments, the amazing love she has for her husband and her kids. Then to see that all in her on TV was really something. She was amazing, looked beautiful, and handled herself with so much grace. I bawled as she helped me and so many others realize all the little things we are taking for-granted in everyday life.

Thank you NieNie.
