Break out the cupcakes, it’s Nicostuff.com’s 5th Blogaversary!
I want to say thanks to everyone for reading along for the last 5 years. Big hugs to all of you!
Thanks for all of your comments and kind words too.
I can’t wait to see what the next five years brings our way…
Now it’s back to my messy desk under the stairs, to get to some more posts.
It is way too busy around here…
We are wrapping up a busy week at VBS, and in just a few short weeks it is time for school to start. Summer is winding down and there is still so much to do before Fall gets here. The month of August looks like so far there is something on the calendar for every single day of the month, and I need to get my monthly dinner menu together too. Well the Miss just woke up from her little nap, so I guess it is time to get back to it. How is your Summer going?
I should probably just move to Kansas City already. It seems to be my second home this Summer.
My best buddy Stacey-cakes and I had a super exciting adventure!
We ventured up to Kansas City, no kiddos, no husbands, just us girls.
Oh yes! We were there to see Adam Lambert!!!!!
We walked around the building to snap some pictures of the tour bus.
There were lines wrapped around the building, but it was so worth it.
Allison Iraheta was the opening act.
She was pretty awesome too!
We were all waiting for Adam though…
Adam took the stage, and the whole place went crazy!
It was such an amazing show!
I had a great time hanging out with my best buddy Stacey too.
We heard so many of our favorite songs.
and I might have danced my butt off, just a bit too.
It was such a fun night!
Once the show was over, we headed back home. It’s always hard for me to leave Kansas City…
Wonder what we will do for our next girl’s night…
I have a busy Saturday ahead of me. I needed to run to the store last night, but ran out of energy to get there, my early morning mowing adventure zapped it out of me. James is off today and will watch the kiddos so I can shop in peace, so that is pretty cool. Anyway I have to get the weekly groceries, and cookie baking supplies too.
Today I’m baking 20 dozen cookies for our Church’s VBS. This year I’ve decided to stick to just one cookie to bake, and I’ll be baking Cakerdoodles. They are easy and fast, so maybe I won’t be in the kitchen all day. Time to grab some coffee, finalize my shopping list, and get to it. Have a great weekend everybody.
We have had a lot of rain, and then a giant heat-wave has made it’s way in. The heat-wave looks like it is going to stay put until Fall finally arrives. I became a little slacker in the garden when it was raining, but I’m slowly catching up.
I know I’ve said it before, but Okra blossoms are one of my very favorite flowers.
I planted extra Okra plants this year, but only about 10 made it.
I have a massive amount of Mint that grows on one side of the house. It went into bloom, and the bees and butterflies just love it.
I had a Cucumber plant spring up out of nowhere. I hadn’t planted cucumbers at all this year, but one sprouted where they were planted last year. So far I’ve picked 4 Cucumbers, and I plan on making Cucumber Water with them, and throwing them in pasta salad too.
This year we have also had success with the Sweet Corn that was planted. I’ve picked about 10 ears so far, and they are too tasty. Even Thade gave the Sweet Corn a try, and he doesn’t like any veggies.
