I am blessed to have been born to a woman who really knows how to cook. She can turn a skinny man fat and a vegetarian into a carnivore. She is truly amazing but for some reason I have not been able to follow in her footsteps in the kitchen. She is a true Midwestern woman who can turn a simple supper into a delightful feast. Even after decades of being a taste tester and watching her do her magic, my only secret weapon is lemon pepper.
My mother in law truly loves horses. Her home is filled with decorations that revolve around equestrian themes. The items include statues, quilts and pictures. However, the most striking items in her collection are her horse rugs.
Every room in her home has one or two horse rugs in it. Some of these decorative items are absolutely beautiful. The horses are intricately painted or woven into the rugs. Some of the horse rugs are comical and cartoonist with catchy little phrases on them. She even hung a few on the wall.
I am a meal on the go kind of person. I try to stay on a high protein, low sugar diet. To this end, I usually have a supply of protein shakes in the refrigerator for any time that I need a quick meal. Its getting cold outside and a cold meal sounds depressing. Cold mornings and cold breakfasts do not mix. I want something hot.
Your honeymoon is a special time, and you want to have a relaxing and special time with your new spouse. No matter how busy many people are, they still make time for this tradition, even if it is only for a few days. No matter where you choose to go for your honeymoon, you are probably hoping to get one of the many honeymoon suites to stay in while you are there. Honeymoon suites offer a lot of extras to make your stay extra special, but remember you are going to pay more to get it.
My husband and I are fortunate to be at the stage in our careers where we can take time off during the week when we want. We both have a great deal of vacation time coming and we budget in a fair amount of money each month for entertainment costs. We like to take trips to various areas of the state and stay over night in hotels. We have found that if we do this during the week we get great hotel deals and we do not have to tend with the crowds.
