Simple Apple Pie Wraps

Super easy dessert I made up for my sisters bridal shower.

One pack (canned) refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 - 3 apples, sliced
Butter
cinnamon and sugar (plenty of it)

Unroll the the crescent roll dough on a greased baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of butter on the dough. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar generously on the dough.

Peel each triangle piece of the dough apart and wrap one apple slice in each triangle (as you would a crescent roll).

Place on baking sheet in rolls and bake according to package, maybe a few minutes longer.

Eat warm or cold... Either way is delish!

Cowgirl Photo Shoot

This HAS to be marked on a calendar... Isla allowed me to take photos of her! She even dressed herself! She came out of her room buck naked with her cowgirl hat. Proceeded to the entryway to find her boots... Then I put on some undies and began to shoot pics. I love nights like these. :-)















Casa de Salsa

What a fantasticly busy day!

Started today off with dropping off Braden at school.

Immediately after, we buzzed over to Laura's place for MOMS Club Meet and Greet. Had a great time watching Isla play in the backyard with the other kids. We MOMS chatted and went over some important stuff, including the ReSeat event we are hosting at Matt Saxe Chevrolet on October 20. Was nice to hang out with some awesome moms!

After the meeting Isla and I met with Crystal (Kaylee and Max) to play and have lunch. Drove to Jordan to eat and play at McDonald's. Isla got stuck at the top... so I went in after her. I felt a ridiculous urge to shower following that adventure. Still had a great time chatting with a good friend! Got back home around 2 for naptime.

Braden walked home from school with some friends. It was exhausting in the heat (plus up hill).

Cleaned a bit and drove off to Lakeville to can some salsa with Joy (Larry and Katie). Isla had a blast playing with Katie and the neighbor girls with toys and the trampoline. Joy and I had a blast chatting and making salsa! Who'da thunk it could be so much fun and so easy?! I loved every minute of it!

Isla was pooped from all of the excitement!

Today was a day of great friends, food and conversation. I'm so glad I stay connected with so many great people!

Dinner with Ashley, Chris and "Auby"

Had a good day for sales. Got two.

Went straight to Matt Saxe Chev for the meeting about Moms Club's "Reseat" event. Got the ok and the go ahead to plan something big and fun. Next step is to talk with MOMS about what businesses we want to participate and donate. Planning on one of the first Saturdays in October.

Picked up some taco dip, picked up Braden and Isla, and headed over to Ashleys.

Had a delicious lasagna and cookie bar dessert! Was so much fun catching up. Isla had so much fun playing with Aubrey.

Can't wait to do it again!

Pampering Always Cleanses the Soul

Great day. Started out by making a sale (one is better than none) and talking to my lil bro Bryan on the phone. Finalized dates for Mel's bachelorette weekend and made appts for pampering!

Got my hair trimmed and eyebrows waxed at Salon Bravo... Then walked 4 doors down for mani pedi at 7 Nails. Discovered today that there is a special kind of nail polish that doesn't chip. I was sold instantly. GEL... who'da thunk?!

Isla was a hoot, yet again, this eve. Braden, Isla and I headed over to Lowes to pick out paint for Braden's room. Got purple for the ceiling, light gray for the walls, and chalkboard paint for his 'chalk wall.'

Forgot the primer, luckily we realized this before we left Shakopee. Turned around and picked that up. Then home-bound we were!

Isla went down for bed with no problems. Shes getting used to her "talking" monitor. Lol... She doesn't even test us anymore.

Miss Rachel came by to watch a movie. Batman Begins was the flick.

I'm getting excited for Osaka and band/bowling on Friday! :-) Gonna be great!

Good Sales, Corn and Banana Bread

What a happy day! Made three sales in one day, all at full price!

Came home to a happy child and brother. ;-) And my very first paycheck!

Ate some yummy steak and corn on the cob that the Johnson's brought over.

Then made some banana bread before the bananas went bad. That definitely topped it off.

Isla was a little difficult at bedtime, but eventually went down after reading our books. She refused her diaper, so that may be a fun mess in the morning. :-/ Ha.
