6 Easy Crock Pot Freezer Recipes

I figured I would make a post about them. I labeled each bag before filling them with whats in the bag, date made, & instructions for preparing. I also find it easier to set your bag in a tubberware container as you fill up your freezer bag, it just helps the bag stand up while filling. I bought all the meat from the Pick 5 section at Shop n Save to help me stay on budget.

 Instructions

  1. Split ingredients in half.
  2. Place all ingredients in 2 resealable gallon-sized freezer bag and mix together.

Learning to shoot with daddy

we purchased a bb gun for our kids yesterday and spent the afternoon and into the evening practicing shooting. Before we ever went out we discussed rules with guns, even a bb gun. A gun is a gun. We have many in our house, my children are use to being around them. Daddy has one on him at all times, on and off duty. Daddy went over our rules and safety. Our boys will probably be hunting before long and more than likely after yesterday so will our girl.

All three kids were an amazing shot. Vivianna expecially took to it. Colton did well as well. Quinton did good, but lost interest soon, he is only 3. Daddy had a wonderful day teaching them how to shoot and Vivianna wants to learn how to shoot a bow now so she can bow hunt with her daddy.

I made this video and I'm pretty much obsessed with how it turned out!

3 ingredient peach cobbler

This faux peach cobbler is made with just 3 ingredients.. Ok.. so its really a dump cake. . But every time I make it my family refer to it at peach cobbler!  Besides i don't like the word dump in a description of something I'm eating. Haha. It  is possibly the easier recipe I have. So easy when you have to take something for a covered dish or just an easy desert for after dinner.


1 box yellow cake mix
1 large can slices peaches in heavy syrup
1 1/2 sticks butter


Open peaches and dump in pan.
Open cake mix dump all over peaches. (See the dump part)
Slice butter and place all over the top of cake.
Place in a 350 degree preheated oven for 50 min- 1 hour. It will begin to bubble and turn oh so yummy.

I joined Ipsy!

I decided I needed to do something Myself. Like most moms (and nurses) I take care of other people ALL THE TIME. I have been wanting to try a subscription box of some kind for quite awhile now so when I researched and found that IPSY was only for $10 a month I said "sure, what the heck" for $10 it is totally worth the shot and it has FREE shipping. I decided to cancel HULU today for the simple fact we don't use it anymore, that's $8 a month and with that saving, I would be putting an extra $2.  That was kinda longer explanation than anticipated. WELL, I signed up. You take a style quiz that I assume helps them customize your bag with them, each month you will receive a makeup bag filled with deluxe size samples and full size products. It is random however so when you get your bag it will be a total surprise each month what you receive. I love surprises.
This is a picture of May's bag.


I'm not entirely certain how the points work, but Here's my link if you are interested in signing up, I believe I get points for you using my link?
http://www.ipsy.com/r/1yh3p?sid=ipsypoints&cid=general

So since I signed up yesterday, My first ISPY GLAM BAG box will be the October one.. It says will be here around mid-October, I'm excited to see what I get. I may even  do a Vlog on my unboxing.. yes, a vlog! first time.. maybe? perhaps? yep.

Ghostbuster birthday party

For Christmas last year, Vivianna got a "just dance" Wii game, on that game was the ghostbuster song.. The boys learned to do the dance. THey loved it. So when the original ghostbuster movie came on TV I added it to our DVR.. and the rest they say, is history. My boys have since became submissed in ghostbuster everything. For Easter they received "The real Ghostbusters" Cartoon season 1 set. And ever sice they have been talking of a 'Ghostbuster Birthday Party' I wasn't even going to do  "big party" but they had their little hearts set on one.. so Mommy gave them as they wanted. Do you know how difficult it is to find party supplies based on something from 1983? Very. But none the less, this mommy set to work.
My boys in their Volunteer GhostBuster shirts My sister in law got them. I'm not sure where she ordered them from.

'Slimmer Jello'

"Stay Puft S'mores" bags as party favors. So simple.

I was going to use ghost shaped cookie cuters to make cookies, but I was lucky the Halloween cookies were already out and I took the easy route! :-p

Proton Streams (for our game)- Silly String! bought at the dollar store and made this cover (seriously in MSPAINT) and taped them around the can..
Again we had grand scheme to draw ghost on poster board, but then we saw these yardghost at the dollar store and said why not. All the kids enjoyed blasting ghost, it really was the high light of the birthday party!
 

Ghost Suckers (to go with their smores Party Favor)-- so simple I'm not sure I should explain but I will. sucker, tissue, marker, ribbon. you get the idea.

I decided Local bakery it was for an easy edible image. turned out great!
 
My boys are born about a month apart.. so I have their parties together. I had them separate for 1 year and then they started to like EVERYTHING the same just about, so hence why we have 1 party. But don't fret, we do have a special cake for them with their birthday dinner on their actual birthday and this is when they also receive their birthday gift from mommy and daddy! these are pictures from this year with their ever so fancy mommy made cakes!
