Lets Play Catch Up!

Okay... It has been quite some time since my last post, so let me catch you all up to speed. Last week not only did I pick up a little part time job, but I also got a nasty little infection that had me down from Monday to Thursday. Blah, it was horrible!

I did however start a new job! I have been working non-stop and I am enjoying it.

I've also been working on Goodnight Nora, which will be my new jewelry shop on Etsy. I'm excited about it, I've already made a bunch of inventory. Now just to get the store up and ready to go which has been a process!

Graham and Chloe have been growing like wild fire too. Graham got his cast off last Thursday and unfortunately was a traumatic experience once again. It was bad enough trying to stitch him up the week before, then getting the cast on the following week, but removing it was horrifying! Graham had Sueann in tears (my friend and baby sitter) Jeffrey and two other nurses had to hold the poor little guy down. Yes, it was that bad! His toe still sticks straight up so I'm not sure what they will really do about this because over time his toes (which by the way already started to do mind you) will start to curl under that second toe. So I'm just kind of frustrated at this point.

I'm still  working on my weight loss journey though I haven't posted about it in a while. I try to eat healthy as I possibly can though some times it's hard because there are so many ''easy ways'' to obtain food. There are fast food joints at almost every corner. Each one saying ''Natasha come to me, eat my delicious overly processed food, come to me, come to me my darling!'' It's really tough, and I've been trying to pack healthy food and snacks to work, though sometimes it can be a bit of a fail, but I have been making an effort to drink a lot more water though.  But that's what has been going on the last few weeks, sorry to keep lagging it's just trying to find the right time.

 

Recipe Share :: Venison Chili

Mr. Webber does a lot of hunting in the seasons, so I've had to grow accustom to cooking with a lot of venison (deer) meet in the last six years of our marriage. Sometimes I still can't get over the idea of eating poor sweet Bambi, but he is pretty delicious to say the least...sorry to you animal lovers out there, we have to eat too!

So let's get started!

(based off of Wendy's style Chili)

Ingerdients 

• 4 lbs Venison meet
• 2 large onions
• 4 bell peppers
• 4 celery stalks
• 2 tablespoons galic
• 1 extra large can of dark red kidney beans, drained.
• 2 cans tomatoes with green chilies, drained.
• 1 extra large can of stewed tomatoes, drained. 
• 4 cans plain tomatoes sauce
• 2 cans ranch style beans, not drained.
• 2 packets McMormick Mild Seasoning
• Regular cooking pot
• Large Stock Pot

Directions

Chop up your onions, celery,  and bell peppers and set aside.

Cook your venison until brown in a regular sized cooking pot. 

Once done, combine all of your vegetables in your large stock pot cooking until onions are see through and peppers and celery are soft.

Once they are soft begin to add in all your canned items and packets of mild seasonings. 

Let cook or simmer on a low to medium heat for about three-four hours - this would also be great in the crock pot set on low too! Place into a bowl add a spoon and enjoy! :-)

My DIY Circus Wedding - Our Five Year Vow Renewal!

Jeffrey and I met in Kingston Tennessee in 2008. It was love at first sight. It took one look at him and I knew he was the one for me.. I haven never met someone so perfect for me. Every day since I met him, I fall more and more in love with him.

We have been together and married actually for over five years now! We really wanted to do something special and I wanted to have that big gypsy wedding I have been dreaming about for years.

OH MY GOSH WEDDINGS ARE THE MOST MONEY EVER! We paid for everything our selves and we quickly realized that we weren't going to be able to really afford what we wanted. Well me, Jeffrey, and our family and friends are pretty crafty and resourceful. We figured out what were the really important things to us and how to make it happen. Let me tell you I have never had so many craft projects at once! None of it would have been possible with out our amazing family and friends who worked their butts off. But we pulled it off beautifully and it was really cheap for a wedding and the best day of my life.

Please enjoy the song that I chose to walk down to my adorable husband to as well.
