Life, if that’s what you call it

Ok, over the past month since my last food related post I have received a lot of feed back and requests for new content and I have realized that I may have a good thing going here. So I have decided that I am going to challenge myself and you my wonderful readers. I would love to see this “project” expand and I will need to really get on the ball to do that and I will need your help.

The challenge will be 30 days, 30 new blog posts, 30 new recipes. This will begin on September 1 and run through the entire month. Which means I have 11 days to prepare. I will be doing research through the interwebs and through testing cooking on my family but I am going to need the help of you and your friends. See, I have trouble coming up with ideas for unappreciated foods that need a little help and that is where you come in. I ask that you give me your suggestions. It can be foods that you love or hate. It can veggies, fruits, meats anything goes. I only ask that you keep your comments and suggestions to this blogs comment section and NOT on Facebook or Twiiter. I ask this of you because it will make it easier for me to keep track of them all.  If you do this I promise I will do my best to cover every food that is suggested.

It may be a bit out there and it may seem like I am procrastinating by waiting till September to start but there is a method to my madness. Very soon Quinlyn will be returning to school and for an added bit of fun Kevyn will be going to PreK. Which means I will have a lot more free time. So this challenge came to mind for me because I wanted something to do, something that I could really see at the end of the day. And something that won’t take too much of my attention away from Caelyn since she will be the only youngster left at home.

So that is it, that is my challenge. I hope to hear from everyone with some ideas for posts. Some time before my challenge I will give you and update with a few of the upcoming subjects. Thanks everyone

So I haven’t been that great about keeping up with my blogs and I am truly sorry. For those of you who don’t know for the past month or so I have been preparing for and moving into a new apartment. I am still working on organizing our new place but the MOVE part is done. I once again have a stable Internet connection and aside from getting Quinlyn and Kevyn ready for school things are settling down. So I predict that within the next week or so I will be able to pick up where I left off on my “In Defense” food blogs.

On other news for some strange reason I made the decision that the day before we loaded our things into a Uhaul to bring to the new place would be the perfect time for me to tell Kevyn and Caelyn that enough was enough, no more pull-ups. I know, what would possess me to do that? Well, it had to do with a lack of funds and the desire to never have to clean a shitty butt again. The strange thing is, it stuck this time. They didn’t give me any crap, pun intended, about it. No “I don’t wanna”s, nothing. They actually gave it their best efforts and as of today we have been without pull-ups for a full week and had only a few accidents in between. Kevyn is most excited because now that he is a “big boy” he can go to school and have a Transformers lunch box. If I had known that all it would take is the promise of a character lunch box, I would have done that a year ago. OH well, I’m just glad that that chapter in our lives are over. And with this chapter closed we will be saving around $100 a month on pull-ups…. ROCK ON!

I know, this is normally not my style, talking about my kids potty training but sadly because my life has revolved around packing, moving and cleaning for the past month this is the most exciting thing that has happened. So now that you all see just how sad that is…. some one rescue me. I need a brunch or a movie or even just meet for coffee… something! And on that note it is time for me to go. Hopefully the next time I blog it will be something a little more informative.
