Craft It Up Little Miss Style

How was your weekend?

 

Ours has been Lovely.

 

I started running two weeks ago with a friend.  So my Saturday morning started with a nice run.

 

Me and the two girls then loaded up and headed over to my brother's to fix my sweet niece and the hubster's super cute little cousin up for prom.  I did their hair and makeup- and if I do say so myself- they looked smokin' hot. 

 

Thank you very much.

 

We came home after that and found the boys watching the Final Four.

 

Church this morning.

 

I love our church.  It is full of the most wonderful people.  People who love their Savior Jesus Christ and love to fellowship together and love each other.  It's awesome to be a part of!

 

I do have some pictures of the prom festivities- they'll come later. 

 

When?

 

Who knows.

 

Just later.

 

I do however have some fun pictures from some fun craft time with Little Miss.

 

She loves to paint.

 

Forever ago she found this big, flat rock, and she's been begging me to paint it ever since.

 

We finally got around to it.

 

I love how she loves color!  Every color of the rainbow- and she's not afraid to slap some of each all over the place!

That's my girl!

Concentrating...

All that bright color just makes me happy...

While she was at it she decided to go ahead and decorate the plate too.

It's beautiful isn't it?!.  She's quite the artist in the making.  Some day when she's famous this rock will sell for millions.

I have an eye for these things.





 

 

I love to let the kiddos paint and express themselves.  It's good for them to go wild sometimes and to create!

 

Speaking of creating-

 

I plan on starting a Link Party for Wednesdays

Crafting and Cooking

My kiddos love to draw and craft- especially Little Miss.

 

The other night we pulled out the crayons, paints, colored pencils, paper, and stickers and let her go for it.

 

 

It's a great way for them to express their creativeness, and it's also a great way to entertain them while I do other things I need to do like- clean, cook, sew, nap and so on.

They Love it- I Love it- it's a win-win for everyone involved.

And I'm all for anything that let's them express themselves in safe, fun ways!

We keep all the kids crafting supplies in a craft closet that way it's all in one place and together when we need to pull it out.  I'd show you a picture but it ain't pretty- I'm not gonna lie.

Focused...

After she crafted for a bit she strapped on the ole apron and helped her mama with some dinner.

We had Lentil Burritos.  They're our Vegetarian version of a burrito loaded up with taco seasoned ground beef.

Their Healthier- and frankly tastier if you ask me.

The recipe for the "meat" -Lentils is from All Recipes - you can find the recipe HERE.

I always make my own taco seasoning.  You can find a recipe for that on All Recipes also.

When the Lentils are ready take your Tortilla (in our case whole wheat) and place your lentil mixture in first and then top it with all your favorite burrito fillings! 

Ours included:  Chopped spinach, diced tomatoes, Chopped Cilantro, diced avocado, black olives, a little cheese, (Little Misses had sour cream), and salsa. 

Another great way to have these and really our favorite is Corn tortillas instead of whole wheat tortillas.

Place a small amount of Canola Oil in the bottom of a skillet heating it up and then fry those bad boys until slightly crispy (you'll have to fold them while cooking or they will get too crispy and they'll break when you try to fold them).

So Yummy!  And Pretty!!!

And there is no telling how many calories you are avoiding by going with this vegetarian option verses using ground beef- Not to mention (*Warning*- the following is my Hippy/Save the World Soap Box Rant)- This is about a billion times better for your heart and digestion- and it's about a billion times better on the environment.  (*Stepping off Soap Box*).

Enjoying the fruits of her labor... and believe me- if this one enjoys them- You will too!

Goodnight!
