Sandi’s Pasta Salad

by Jessica July 26, 2012

Not all pasta salads are the same! I was never a fan of pasta salad; at potlucks growing up, it was cold, dry or soggy, and had black olives in them. I gave it a few tries since I like noodles,but eventually gave up! Now, Grant really likes Pasta salad because his Aunt Sandi hadÂ thisÂ amazing recipe that no one could make as well as she did. I believed him but never thought twice about making it. If Grant’s mom, Gail, who is a great cook can’t make it right then I had NO chance! Well, one day I got up the courage to email Sandi and try to make thisÂ recipeÂ and pray that I actually liked it. Well it turns out that this recipe is AMAZING! I love it and crave it way too often, and I don’t think I make it as well as Sandi,but Grant eats it without any complaints and get 3rds and 4th helpings so it probably good enough ;p Below are my step by step instructions.

Fixing our Headlights

by Jessica July 24, 2012

This is a kinda of random post, but Grant and I needed to go to my parent’s property in Dime Box to water trees and fix the irrigation system. So since there is a driveway and a hose, I decided it was time for my car to get a wash.

Fruit Leather

by Jessica July 22, 2012

Grant is really good about eating most fruits and vegetables that I prepare for him. He gets really squeamish if anything doesn’t look 100% pristine, and if we aren’t in the mood for smoothies, I have made fruit leather a few times. I wouldn’t say that it is very cost effective if you go out and buy fruits for it, but if you have everything and want a way to use it up, this is a great way. Below are the step by step instructions that I used.

Floor Pouf Tutorial

by Jessica July 21, 2012

My last baby shower gift was a floor pouf which I gave to Pamela. I followed a pattern HERE from Better Homes and Gardens. As you can see, they have step by step directions that are much better than mine. They also have the printable patterns for free that I printed off. I did a few things differently that I will point out from their directions. If you want to see the Baby Shower where I gave the pouf go HERE. The hardest part about this item is the hand stitching which isn’t particularly hard just time consuming.

South Padre Vacation!!!!!!

by Jessica July 14, 2012

I was lucky enough to be able to take a vacation to South Padre Island at the beginning of June this year! This was my first vacation since our Honeymoon which is almost 4 years! I wish Grant could have come,but it ended up being just a girl’s trip. Grant had TONS of work to do and the whole time I was gone he had to work really long hours. Other than the lack of food, he probably didn’t even have a chance to miss me Â since he was so busy. ;p My friend Erin, who is also in our young Married’s Group at Church, was given a three day, two night condo stay from some of her relatives that they had won. Her husband isn’t a huge beach person just like Grant isn’t, so she decided who needs guys?! So, Erin, Beth, who is also in our Young Married’s Group and works with me at the Church, and I were all able to go. We went from Austin to almost Corpus Christi, which is where Erin’s In-Laws have a beautiful Ranch and is the half way point between Austin and South Padre Island, to South Padre Island. This is a huge post with lots of pictures so enjoy!
