Tips of the Trade
I believe every woman has a few things to help get her by in her daily life. Just small tips in my trade. I have mine of course and want to share.
-First. If you don't own a mix-n-chop then you really need to, as soon as possible. One of my favorite utensils in my kitchen is my mix-n-chop by far. I visited my sister a while back, in her kitchen I realized she didn't own one. Without a mix-n-chop I didn't even know how to grind up meat. Sad I know! haha
-Second. If you don't have children to be your slaves and haul in the groceries, you need to hear the simplest solution. I am the type to gather ten bags in my arms and try to beat the dog inside while she makes hurdles for me, then after I clamor inside the house. I still have to go back for 30 more bags. Solution-Totes. Everywhere you look are adorable totes. JoAnn Fabric has 99 cent adorable bags. Old Navy has more durable totes for heavier items. I have about 7 totes, some are cloth and some are plastic. I end up carrying in four bags inside instead of a truck load. Yes, starting out its hard to remember every trip to grab your bags. Eventually though, it becomes part of your grocery trip check list. Money, list, coupons, and totes. If you like having those free little plastic bags for trash cans or a different reason you can still get them. Though you have to admit, you don't end up using them all do you? You'll end up throwing many or all of them away. So do yourself and the environment a favor!
-Third. This is not a need, but a tip. When your done with the softer sheets out of your dryer do you toss them away? Instead keep using them. Like the trash can for example. The sheets will clean your trash can plus make it smell good, which we all would like our trash smelling better. I also like to use them on my oven, where the grease will splash back, these work great!
-Fourth. Summers approaching and I need a comfortable sandal for all the running around I do, yet cute. Ladies I found them! These are agreeable with my feet, and compliment worthy. These are my Yellow Box sandals.
I love them!

Kale Chips
If you live out in the country I think you need to know something about Kale. Kale has a lot of benefits. One of my favorite health benefits of kale is the fact that it can help with promoting skin health. It contains a healthy balance of omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, something that is lacking in the average diet. Omega-3′s are anti-inflammatory and provide flexibility to cell membranes. They are also important for nourishing the skin, hair and nails from the inside out, as these body components require these essential fats, as well as other nutrients found in kale.
Love that I looked it up, because my husband loves to get himself into poison ivy, sumac, and oak. Kale helps his body to restore his skin after it starts tearing and weeping. I tried a leaf promptly out of the produce bag after purchase. How revolting! Had to google more idea's on how to eat Kale. >I like to cut my Kale up with my hands, mix it in a bowl of oil, lay it out on a baking sheet. Pour just a tad of sea salt across the pan and pop it into the oven. Set oven to 325 degrees. Its done within about five to ten minutes just keep an eye on it until you figure out how you like it. Its a delicious healthy snack, my husband loves them. He'll steal them right off my plate the stinker.

One day at a time sweet Jesus
September 29th I said "I do"; thus becoming Mrs.Austin.
I am writing this blog to keep all my thoughts in order and to store all my small, senseless victories that I feel the need to be put on display.
Time to be awake at six with my hubby and learn new ways to cook a hardy breakfast in a hurry before work. I need to compose the most excellent playlists you have ever heard to get inspired to clean up that same old mess again. Learn to play Hand and Foot. Remember your husband likes clean clothes every day, so time to get around to it missy. Oh one more thing if you live in Oklahoma, ask his momma how in the world do you fry up duck?
All in a days work.
