Happy Valentine's Day

Please don't think this is  normal, but I cooked a themed meal tonight!  A day early, I know, but we have a basketball game tomorrow night. 

HEART SHAPED TORTILLA CHIPS for our taco salad/nachos.  And THEY ATE IT!  And it wasn't all that great, but how can you screw up a tortilla chip.  I cut regular flour tortillas with a heart cookie cutter; put some flavored oil and salt on them; stuck them in the oven (i picked a temp and watched them because the 10 online recipes i found all said something different).  I think what sold the nachos to the kids was the "real" nacho cheese.  We NEVER have nacho cheese (and you can guess why!).  I made brownies too.... Wow! And we used REAL plates.  Huge!

a year ago....

we put our house on the market for no other reason than.... we could.  I cleaned my floors (on my hands and knees) DAILY, I kept the toys put away, and we used paper plates for 5 months straight.  Last weekend we had our house warming party..... TOTALLY worth it all.  There has not been one second that I have regretted making this change.  I LOVED my old house and had always thought I'd have grandkids come visit me there.  But this is home... what a difference a mile can make! 

So now I'm blogging because someone said it's good for me.  There's no other reason (well, except for the truth that this is the only time someone will listen to me..... and I don't even know WHO is listening to me).
