Pinterest Thursday

I'm back with my reviews of Pinterest projects and I have several that I'm excited to share. Since I'm still working on several of them I will share with you a recipe I tried this week. I'll admit that I didn't actually find this recipe on Pinterest, but I have pinned it and plan on making it again.

David indulges me and eats the yummy recipes I find on Pinterest. Some of them have been good and some ok. The Chicken Chick Pea Curry recipe we tried this week was delicious!! I would give it 5 stars and the best part is, it was super easy and crock-pot friendly. I've eaten chick peas before and didn't care for them in their original state, but they were so delicious and healthy.

I've had our crock pot  for 8 years and only recently started using it. I'm excited that fall is approaching and that means more crock pot meals.

Seriously, you should try this recipe. We added the corn to the finished product.

Whatever Wednesday

Things are finally getting back to normal after visitors and moving. I had planned to do an entire post on moving but we are still unpacking and decorating. So once things are de-cluttered I'll post some pictures of the new place. We are loving it and I am loving having a backyard. One thing I'm not loving is the lack of air conditioning. This shouldn't be an issue, but we are having a HEAT wave here and the house gets toasty in the afternoons. Most of the year the heat won't be an issue.

We have also dropped cable. Boo. I actually don't miss it that much, but what I do miss is actually getting normal channels. Right now we get ABC and CBS. We have an antenna, and we still only pick up those channels. We tried a different one and it was worse. I miss NBC and have to catch up on all my shows the day after. I'm loving our Apple TV and Nextflix. I can watch shows from virtually anywhere.

I'm getting ready to read, Captivating by Stasi Eldredge. I've read several other books by her and her husband. They did not disappoint.

Only one more month before Catching Fire comes out.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

I've been looking forward to taking Charlotte to the Pumpkin Patch for awhile now. Since I was wanting to go, I knew others probably did too, so I organized a trip for our MOPS group last week. It was fun getting to hang out with the ladies outside of our monthly meetings. We went to Bates Nut Farm and it did not disappoint, tons of animals for the kids to look at, hayride, corn maze, picking out a pumpkin, pony rides and a petting zoo. Plus a General Store to purchase jams, jellies and other goodies.

I was hoping for a great photo op, but since C is on the go now,  it's hard to take a posed picture. These are the best pictures I got.


On the hayride with Alicia and Noelle. The girls had on almost identical outfits. 


I'll take all these pumpkins please.

I don't like hay.


Don't worry I got this. 

Are these pumpkins or drums. 


Does this wheelbarrow make me look small?

I''ll take this one too. 



One of these weekends we will have to visit a different pumpkin patch with daddy.

Small Group Park Fun



Tonight we said goodbye to some dear friends from our small group. We met at a local park and fellowshipped while the kids all played. I met these sweet ladies at a MOPS group last fall. Our small group is going through the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace course. We have really enjoyed getting to know each of these families and are looking at further developing our relationships. 

Addy pushing Charlotte. Addy loves Charlotte. 

All the ladies minus Anna. 
The whole group minus Anna, Brooklyn and Avery. 
Cute kiddos.


We will miss you White family. Safe travels to Virginia!!

Fall TV Premier Week

This week almost all of my shows are premiering, YEAH!

Mondays

HIMYM - I started watching this show 3 years ago after Nexflixing the first couple of seasons. I LOVE  it. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out from the beginning. It was a nice replacement for Friends. 



2 Broke Girls - I haven't found too many comedies in recent years that I enjoy, but I do like this show. It may at times seem inappropriate, but it's really funny. 



I also like Dancing with the Stars and the Voice. I would DVR them, but them I have to watch one of the shows I'm taping, so I'll be catching up with these two OnDemand or online.

And last, but not least my guilty pleasure, Teen Mom 3.

Tuesdays

Chicago Fire - Need I say more. This is probably the show I'm most excited for it's return. And because it takes place in my beloved Chicago and I recognize some of the places they film. Before we left Chicago I saw them filming from my office building. 


I don't have anything else scheduled for Tuesday, yet. Maybe I will have to check out several new shows. New shows that I enjoy often get cancelled. 

Wednesdays

This is by far my fullest tv night. 
Revolution - I got sucked into this show last year, so of course I have to finish it. 


Law & Order SVU - I can't explain why I enjoy this show so much, but I do. I will even watch reruns on USA. 




Nashville - I love Connie Britton! I am still in need of catching up on last season, but I jump into this season. 


Modern Family - How can you not like this family.




Thursdays

Shark Tank - I wish this show was still on Friday's so I would have something to watch but...




Grey's Anatomy - I have a love/hate relationship with this show. I'll continue to watch it since I've seen the other seasons. 


Parenthood - I'm still catching up on past seasons, but I'm excited for the shows return.



Fridays 

Nothing yet. 

Saturdays

The Same. 

Sundays

Breaking Bad - I can't believe the final episode is upon us. They won a much deserved Emmy last night. It's a very addicting show, if you haven't seen it. 


Amazing Race - I do love a good reality show and this one by far my favorite.  Someday I hope to get on the show.


I am looking forward to the return of Drop Dead Diva and Pretty Little Liars in October.

What shows are your favorites that I should check out?
