CeU

Whether I'm doing laundry or using the computer, I enjoy listening to music. Over a year ago, I came across a wonderful singer, CeU. She is from Brazil and her songs reveal her many influences, which include soul, rhythm and blues, afrobeat, jazz, samba, valsa, and choro. Though I don't understand a word she is singing, I enjoy her music very much. So, I'd like to share a little of her music with you. Enjoy!

Heartwarming

The guys were raking for most of the morning and decided to take a well deserved break. It was nice to see them have some Father Son time.

The other morning, Bella, found this in her backpack. Ya, think Oscar wants to go to school with her? He does the cutest things and he's obviously feeling better. I am so thankful for his recovery.

Thank you, to all of you out there, who send such nice messages to me. I am so humbled and grateful. Happy Thanksgiving!

He Pulled Through!

In the past, I mentioned how sick my kitten has been. Well, he relapsed and got worse. After a few tests and an unmentionable amount of money, he remains undiagnosed. At this point, we were hand feeding him, carrying him to the litter box and praying for him regularly. The vet said there was a chance he wasn't going to make it. There were times we found him in the bathroom with his paws on the heater. Really, I am not making this up. He was always seeking heat.

My heart really went out to him when I found him like this. I decided to crochet him his own blanket.

He's not too happy I disrupted his sleep. My daughter joined in on "Project Warmth" and crocheted a wrap for him. Not bad for her very first project. He really seems to like them both.

Well, last night something wonderful happened! He began eating and drinking on his own. Then we found him being quite playful. We truly feel a miracle has happened. Our little Oscar has pulled through. Now we just need him to gain about three pounds.

It's a great day!

These are exclusive recipes that cannot be found in the current book or the new one, “Cook Yourself Thin FASTER”— which hits shelves right before the New Year.

There is always so much to do in a home. My hubby usually likes me to have a Honey Do List ready for him as a reminder. On his day off he can just pull it out of the Household Notebook and create his schedule for the day, based on what needs to get done. I hope this download is helpful to you. Enjoy!
