Helloooooooo. Welcome to my blog. Yep, I finally jumped on that wagon. Who knows how many followers I will end up with, if any, but I'm gonna enjoy myself, anyhow.
So, what's this blog about, you ask? Well, I guess it's pretty simple; my life. I am a mother of two little boys, and a wife to another. Shhh. Don't tell him I said that. ;) Part of being the Mommy and wife to my family, is finding ways to save our family money. I am a frugal Mama, and I wear that label proudly! If there's a way to save money, I'm looking for it. I love to cook for my family. I am not a gourmet chef, but I still think I'm pretty darn good. Filling the bellies of my family with good food, makes me happy!
I wanted to start my first post with a recipe that I have wanted to try for awhile. It was a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie bar. It looked sooo good, and I had all the ingredients, so I set out making it tonight. Took out my camera, took some pictures. Was feeling good about my post already. I was picturing exactly what I was going to do, in my head. The batter however, even though followed to a 'T', did not turn out the way it should. I kept adding more flour like she suggested, but the batter would not get to a cookie dough consistancy. I finally gave up and tried to bake it anyway. An hour later, the edges were burning, and the middle was still jiggling. Fail. I'm not off to a good start! I did, however, eat some raw cookie dough batter, (yes, I knoooow, you're not supposed to) so at least it wasn't a total loss. I hate wasting ingredients, though. Hate it. Scratch that recipe off my list.
Don't fear, though! I have LOTS of stuff I've been meaning to try, and this blog is going to give me the motivation to do it. We are gonna have lots of fun together, so make sure you buckle up and Holdren on (clever, huh? Thanks, Heather) for the ride.
Disclaimer: In case you didn't notice ^^ I don't have to best punctuation, nor am I a great novelist. I am though, a down to earth Mama, who is gonna (hopefully) show you some great thinks to cook, bake, craft, and show you ways to save yourself some bucks! I hope you will join me on my new adventure.
love it Ashley! hope I can learn to cook from you, even tho your far away! i hate cooking (probably cause I get anxiety from it), but would like to try haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brie! You will learn!! :) I cook easy stuff, so you'll be cooking for your family in no time. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the name! I love your disclaimer! I pretty much blog the same way as I talk for the most part and I don't care too much about punctuation. If someone doesn't like it they don't have to read is what I say. Welcome aboard the blog wagon! It's a great reliever of getting things off your mind, or at least for me. Plus it's you time! And as momma's we have to take what we can get for "me" moments since they are rare.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amanda! :) I'm really hoping I get in to this and it gives me another "purpose" besides being a Mommy. I love it, but sometimes need another focus. :)
