New AAP Safety Guidlines – Bubble Wrap Your Kids Till Age 26
Is this really what we’ve come to? Just about! Today the AAP came out with their new and improved car seat guidelines. Now, they are telling us that we have to keep our kids in a REAR facing car seat until they are 2 years old. And your child must be in a car seat or booster seat until they are 100 lbs or 12 years old. And no one under the age of 13 should be in the front seat. Ummm.. yeah, that’s all going to go over REALLY well with Junior High school kids!

This is what we had for dinner last night. I made a couple of changes mostly because I used Buffalo flank steak instead of beef, and flour instead of cornstarch. I didn’t have any cornstarch, but didn’t know this until I had started fixing the meal so couldn’t go get it. LOL! But since when do I ever follow a recipe anyway?

NUM NUM!! Low Carb Low Fat Southwest Chicken Soup!
Low Carb, Low Fat Southwest Chicken Soup
I just made this for lunch and WOW is it good! And it was easy to make as well! Which is a must for me to be able to stick to any diet. I’m lazy and I just don’t want to have to go through a ton of steps to make a good meal for my family. Which is why we usually turn to something easier, not so good for us stuff. But this took a total of 30 minutes to make from start to finish!
Inspiration Comes From The Strangest Places
So here’s our brand new (new to us) Lincoln Towncar. We bought it the day before New Years Eve! Believe it or not, we don’t owe anything on it either! That’s right, NO car payments!! WOOT! We traded in my cute, sweet, adorable Beetle and paid a few K in cash and we own it outright! That’s a testament to how well our business is doing, because we didn’t sacrifice or really even save for this! No, we still have savings in the bank, money for our business, money for rent, bills and fun on TOP of buying this car!
Thankful Thursday – It’s All About Me
I guess since I didn’t post for two days, that I need to make up for that by posting twice in one day! LOL! This Thankful Thursday is all about me though. I’m thankful for so much in my life, but I have a hard time being thankful for myself. So today I want to be grateful about me!
OWN 2011 With Me and Oprah Winfrey!
OWN: the new Oprah Winfrey Network launched on Jan. 1, 2011. I was lucky enough to also get a sneak peak at one of the new original series they will be showing, called Your OWN show. “Your OWN Show: Oprah’s Search for the Next TV Star” – Series Premiere Friday, January 7th 9/8c. I love reality shows and was pretty excited to get a sneak peak at this one. Especially since I’d been hearing about it all over the internet! LOL! Can’t wait to see the actual show tomorrow night though.
My 2011 To Do List
My 2011 To – Do List
I’m participating in the Bloggy Mom’s Blog Dare Challenge. They give you a new writing prompt everyday. You don’t have to use the prompts, but they are great things to have if you need them. This is today’s prompt. What would you like to accomplish this year? What are the places you would like to visit in 2011? What do you hope to check off your bucket list in 2011?
Happy New Year!!
This year instead of making resolutions, I’m making goals. Every year I’ve made resolutions and end up failing at them. Of course that makes me feel horrible and ends up making things worse, such as gaining weight. LOL! When I make a resolution to lose weight, I fail and gain weight instead. Not productive at all. So this year, instead of making resolutions I’m making goals.
