Puff Pastry Sheets

Have you tried these Puff Pastries Sheets? I tried them tonight for the first time. Sorry I didn't take a picture of my finished product grrr..

Anyway it was super easy to use. I made cooked two chicken breasts, cooled them. Then cut two large squares from the Pastry Sheets.

In the squares I put:

2 TBLS of Cream Cheese

1 TBLS of Bacon

Scoop of Mozzarella Cheese

Then put the chicken Breast on top. Folded up the pastry sheet around the chicken. Sealing it with 1 egg and water mix. Put the Chicken Pastry seam down on the cookie sheet. Oven at 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.

I couldn't believe how wonderful it tasted. The chicken was soo moist. It was super easy. So now I love Puff Pastry Sheets lol I think i will try it next time with dessert.

All Brand New

Did you know that the main areas to remodel in your home, that will return a major investment is the bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms? I would say that is pretty accurate. I normally want to see how new the kitchen appliances or cabinetry is or the bathroom flooring and fixtures. Changing just one or two things in any of these rooms can make the room seem brand new!

The problem we all run into is trying to find a contractor that we can depend on. It's important to find a contractor that is licensed, and committed to doing the job honorably. Atlanta remodeling is just the contractor for your home remodeling needs. If you live in or around Atlanta make sure give these contractors a call.

Gorgeous Concrete!

My family and I had such a wonderful vacation last week. Enjoyed a week in San Diego! We were able to visit a couple of neat attractions, and some of downtown. Some of the downtown architecture was amazing! San Diego is the kind of place that has everything you could possibly want to call home.

Along with all the beautiful parts of San Diego, come the companies who are able to make the city such a gorgeous place. I had no idea that the concrete contractor San Diego did such intricate and amazing artwork. I am sure if you have visited the city recently you will have observed the Decorative Concrete San Diego .

They have quite the portfolio. From hotels, to restaurants, lofts, and even some amusements parks! It is amazing that they are so diverse in their services. Things like Structural concrete, Street Improvements, Site Concrete, and decorative concrete are all apart of their list of services. The structural concrete contractors San Diego has some pretty cool options. Check out the portfolio to see the decks, and structural hotel renovations.

What I love about the concrete contractors in San Diego is that their work is so exquisite. From fabulous leaf prints in the cements, to glossy cement floors, to amazing scroll shapes inlays in the flooring. This is definitely not your average everyday Concrete Contractor Company!

Is Your Roof Safe?

Time to talk about outside renovations! When is the last time you took a look at your roof? Probably one of things we all neglect until we have a major problem. I didn't realize how important it was to make sure your roof was in tip top shape. Our roof keeps us safe from any type of weather and rodents. Even just a small hole can allow moisture to leak into our homes. Often times working its way into the walls, which we know leads to mold.

A company in Austin has a great reputation for excellent workmanship. They are reliable and experienced. The Austin roofer specialize in a number of different roofing aspects such as re-roofing, roofing repairs, roof ventilation systems, energy efficient replacement windows, hardie siding, and radiant barrier insulation. Most of the roofs are installed and completed in one day! I love that! They have warranties for labor, and if it's testimonials or referrals you need they have them!

You can trust the Austin roofer to be honest about your roof. If you just need a repair, they will quote you for the repair, and not strong arm you into a whole new roof. The most important thing is to take care of your home and your family. With a roof you can depend on.. you can feel safe for years to come.

If you call now you can get a free roof inspection and estimate ($100 value)!

Every month they add new courses, so be sure to check back.

I love how this company has all the tools to sharpen your skills for business, or the corporate environment. If you have an expertise to offer, you can create your own course. The great thing about creating your own course you will make 70% profit off of the sale of your course. Kind of neat huh?

Aloha Friday

An Island Life is hosting Aloha Friday.. I thought it would be fun to participate. All you have to do is answer the question I ask by leaving a comment. Then click over to An Island Life and link up to Aloha Friday with your own question!

My Question:

Background: On vacation this week, we were at the beach. My almost 5 year old threw some sand when we were walking in the water..it landed on this 12 year old boy..and his dad was standing by. So the dad looks at my son and tells him not to do it again..and shakes his finger at him...

Ok..my question.. Does it make you mad if someone else tells your child(ren) to stop doing something when you are standing right there??

My Answer:

I HATE it!!! lol Unless, I leave my children in your care.. don't tell them what to do or not do..when i am standing right there!!! GRRR lol Saying that to say.. this father at the beach.. I heard my mouth say.. "I'll take care of it" lol I never say things like that.. it must be my maternal instinct!

Let the Pros Handle It!

The Internet makes everything so easy now doesn't it? Almost anyone can own a business or have fund raisers online. It truly is amazing. As your online business grows, it sometimes is hard to keep track of all the money coming in and out. I found an awesome company called Wirex. They take care of all the back end of online finances. Wirex has had many years of experience with the finance sector so you can be sure your business is in good hands.

Wirex has features for Affiliate webmaster, Affiliate programs, search providers, or currency exchange services. They specialize in large payments to your affiliates via Wirex, ePassporte, WebMoney, and PayPal.

I would recommend checking them out as a online payment system. Register and find out some more information. It might be just what you are looking for!

Almost home UGH

Well we are officially on our way home from vacation. Sitting here in our Town & Country, I am doing my best not to go out of my mind as my almost 5 year old son is talking non-stop about nothing, yanking on the seat belt, and pounding his transformer together (that he just got a Burger King). My daughter is sitting in her seat looking at me.. with a sweet angelic look on her little face. Her pink pacifier sticking me out of her cute lips. Pink of course to match her entire ensemble. She is sleepy..since her blanket is continuously being run through her fingers. My husband is listening to Glen Becks Book 'The Inconvenient Truth' on CD. I must say its very interesting.. what little I can hear. I am fighting off car sickness.. why am I on this laptop UGHHH.. Blah.. Oh did I mention that we have a Giant Elmo sitting in the front seat? He is over 5 feet tall. My husband won it at Sea World lol Yes, we have been getting looks from other cars and trucks sharing this highway. Thankfully I am hidden here in the back with the kids..and do not have to make eye contact and try to explain with a strange smile why we have Giant Elmo in the front seat..seat belted. I'll put a picture up when we are home and unpacked! Ok.. have to put this laptop away.. getting sick lol

Realtors Are A Good Thing!

Have you tried selling or buying a home by yourself? In the beginning, I think we all think we can do it! We try and sometimes succeed but most of the time end up in a heap of disappointment not sure where to turn. It sure makes life easier, if we would just reach out to a qualified realtor before we put that 'For Sale by Owner' on the lawn!

A realtor's job is solely to sell and buy. They want to help you find that perfect home! And pretty much will do whatever it takes to make that dream come true. If you live in the Atlanta area you must check out this incredible realtor group. Your initial consultation is FREE..so you aren't gambling anything.. just a little time.

The Atlanta Realtor group specializes in Realistate consulting for buyers and sellers. That's you!

Here are a few things they want you to know:

They sell single, multi-family and investment residential properties.

They develop and utilize sales networks, telemarketing and advertising to generate buyers, sellers and financiers.

They are a specialist in no-money-down and foreclosure sales.

They maintain active troubleshooting and negotiating involvement through closing of the property.

They conduct comprehensive evaluations of a client's requirements.

They tailor a detailed plan to assist in the purchase or sale of their home.

They develop and implement auditing processes and procedures to ensure clients are satisfied with services provided.

Sounds like a Realtor Group that knows their stuff..and is ready to help you with your next home endeavor.

Books Flying Through the Air!

We have been having a wonderful vacation this week..today we went to a Science Museum.. I personally thought it was a total waste of time and money.. but the kids seem to enjoy it for a bit. We went to eat after that, then decided to shop in Borders. Oh my word, what were we thinking!!!??? My son, who is nearly 5, was getting a little, hmmm... rambunctious, decides to start spinning this bookshelf that rotates and holds hundreds of books. I told him, from about 5 feet away, "Don't do that". I said that phrase three times. And all three times I was ignored. Not a second after my third warning.. did I see books flying in every direction. With one hard but fast pull my son had whipped that shelf around, sending oh.. hmm.. probably a good 75 to 100 books flying. I believe I was instantly stunned. Kicking myself mentally, I gritted my teeth, and let him know he was in big trouble later, and bent my sunburned body and I mean SUNBURNED, and began picking up the books.

Two things I learned today.

1. Expect the Unexpected. When your kids aren't listening, grab them before they take that extra DELIBERATE spin.

2. People do not help anymore. I just couldn't believe it. I think 1 lady walked by and picked up 1 book. But of all the people there.. they just look at us.. over there precious books, then went back to reading. Where is the compassion lol

I wish I could of taken a picture of the piles of books, and where they landed.. so that you would really understand what I had to deal with lol I will tell you what.. I was pretty embarrassed.. but quickly realized.. things could of been worse and it could of cost me a whole lot of money. Thank goodness, the situation was easily fixed. I truly hope my little guy learned a lesson today. Probably not..but I am hoping lol

Love Your Bathroom!

Bathrooms can be one room you find yourself in quite often.. It's just life right? Wouldn't you like your bathrooms to be a place where you feel comfortable? I think that a bathroom deserves a little attention. Some pictures on the wall.. or perhaps a shelf here or there. A cool shower head, or a Bathroom Vanity . When we have guests, we want them to feel at home. To feel like our home is a little oasis. And we all know that the bathroom is one of the main areas we want perfect for our guests.

There are some amazing choices now for bathroom features. Single Bathroom Vanities, double bathroom vanities, antique bathroom vanities, contemporary bathroom vanities, teak bathroom vanities, linen cabinets, and vanity chairs. Hard to imagine so many choices.. But seriously with all these options there isn't any excuse of not finding something to match your taste.

I happen to love the 60" Walnut Finish Antique Double Bathroom Vanity. Oh my goodness this

bathroom vanity is amazing. The wooden details are all hand carved. The counter top is made from marble. Comes with two undermount porcelain sinks, and 7 drawers. I can just imagine how beautiful this would make one of my bathrooms! I could probably find a linen cabinet to match this vanity perfectly. The

18" Enclosed Oak Linen Cabinet would be awesome! Free shipping on this too!

If you don't want or need a double sink, then go for a Single Vanity. There are a number of gorgeous styles in the Single vanity. The 53" Cherry Finish Single Bathroom Vanity happens to be a favorite of mine as well. Beautiful!

These Bathroom Vanities are on sale with 30% to 65% off with FREE Shipping.. along with FREE Sinks and Faucets! I really don't think you could find a place that sells more beautifully designed Bathroom Vanities at amazing prices.

Girls Being Paid To NOT Get Pregnant!

Paying girls $1 a day to not get pregnant??? Hmmm... sounds like the Pay the kids to get good grades program!

"Brown said she hopes the program, which pays $1 each day to 12-to-18-year-old girls, will keep them from getting pregnant. In addition to remaining pregnancy-free, the girls must also attend weekly meetings."

Nurses Need A Break!

Isn't it funny when we are little how many of us wanted to be Doctors or Nurses?! I remember that my Father bought me medical books and a real stethoscope when I was very young. That gesture gave me a sense of purpose and focus when I was young.

Are you a nurse? or Do you know a Nurse? I happen to know many. I found a really neat site that is completely devoted to the occupation of a Nurse. The mind, health, beauty, style, work. love, money, and news & entertainment are all covered in this scrubs magazine.

If you are in the medical field then you are quite familiar with wearing scrubs. And you may not always feel so pretty. Those days are over! There is a section devoted to chic scrubs

fashions. The Do's and Don'ts of scrubs, along with fashion tips.

If you need some tips for weight loss with a crazy work schedule, well they have that too! Basically, if I were a nurse I would definitely be at reading everything I could, and take in anything that would make my life a little easier. This nurse site is incredible!

Did you know that one of the best cities to be a nurse is in Spokane, WA? I would never have guessed that! See how much you can learn by reading the awesome scrubs magazine?!

Bring Some Personality Into Your Home

I love furniture. I always think of different ways I can either rearrange what I have already or what new piece will transform a room. It really is amazing how one red chair or a new rug or even a painting can take a drab room to a whole new level.

Don't you just adore couches or sofas (whichever you prefer)? A Sofas can make a room feel comfortable, warm, and inviting when you walk in. You can set the tone. Whether it be formal, family room, or even just a rec room. There is a sofa for any occasion.

My husband has been begging for a leather theater sectional. They must recline, have cup holders, have compartments for snacks. ha! He is determined that our movie viewing experience will be heightened to the 10th degree with this type of Leather Couch!

I happen to love a sofa called Wood Trim Living Room Sofa. This sofa is beautiful, and

elegant. My middle name is ornate so this fits my personality perfectly. The wood trim and legs are all hand carved stained in English Tea!

This would turn my formal living room, into a place fit for a king. Check out the picture to the right.. Don't you love it?

Even though my husband and I have totally two different taste.. the wonderful thing about furniture is that you can fit it all into the house and make it work perfectly!

Check out these sofas and couches I have talked about. They are on sale.. I'm talking awesome sale here. 30% to 65% off. As well as FREE shipping and No Sales tax in the lower 48 states! Don't worry if your taste aren't mine.. there are tons more sofas or couches to choose from. Leather, reclining, sectional, fabric, home theater seating, and loveseats!
