Happy Valentine's Day!<br />
Tuesday was a very busy day! Valentine's Day is not usually celebrated in our house, nothing against the holiday but it is just a commercialized day. There shouldn't be one day a year for your special someone to make you feel special, or one day for you to make someone else feel special. The best days are the days when someone makes you feel and it is a total surprise. Anyways, today was a good day! I got a job that I totally didn't expect to get and today was my first day. Now it has been almost 6 years since I have "worked". <span style="font-size: x-small;">*disclaimer, I have been an at home mom and a homemaker. I also started my online store this last year!</span> So I guess I have been working. <span style="font-size: large;">Working so much I can finally say my business is now consistently paying my mortgage! </span>This is such a HUGE accomplishment for my family! Also February 14th is Oregon's Birthday! Here are some fun Oregon Facts!<br />
1.Oregon has more ghost towns than any other state.<br />
2. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States. It was formed more than 6,500 years ago. Its crystal-blue waters are world renowned.<br />
3. Discovered in 1874 the caves located in Oregon Caves National Monument are carved within solid marble.<br />
4. Eugene was the first city to have one-way streets.<br />
5. At 8,000 feet deep Hells Canyon is the deepest river gorge in North America.<br />
6. Oregon and New Jersey are the only states without self-serve gas stations!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">7. The world's tallest barber shop pole stands in Forest Grove, Oregon.</div><div class="MsoNormal">8.Oregon is home to the world's shortest river The D River is only 121 feet long.</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div> <span style="font-size: large;">Okay Okay back to business!!!!!</span><br />

I have my items in a couple local stores so if you are out and about be sure to check it out! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">You can now find my items at local nail salon called A Show of Hands! Which is on the corner of 6th and Savage St in Grants Pass! I have been getting my nails done here for 8 years! Crazy. They also have amazing tanning beds! I have such a hard time tanning my legs and she has a leg tanner that is AMAZING!!! I just love it!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Also you can find my luggage tags at the Airport in Medford!

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well Tuesday was the start of week 3, and Ian and I have both lost 10lbs in 2 weeks! It is awesome! I will admit it is really hard to not eat cookies, cake, cupcakes, bread. . . ect I am addicted to sugar and bread! Which is not a good combination if you are trying to lose weight. Also it doesn't help when Alex over at <a href="http://alexandraroseboutique.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">AlexandraRose</a> is posting about homemade donuts and chocolate covered pretzels! HAHA I have been dying looking at her posts. The drool hits the keyboard! Anyways back to the main reason I am here. I have an awesome recipe that I have created. </div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a recipe for a granola bar to help satisfy the sweet tooth cravings without packing all the processed sugars and flour into it. I used the wrong pan when I made mine so I am modifying it a little bit that way the bars come out as bars. You will see what I mean. . . </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Directions:</div><div style="text-align: left;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a glass cake pan. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Combine all dry ingredients including dried fruit and nuts in a bowl. </div><div style="text-align: left;">In another bowl whisk all wet ingredients.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Toss the wet ingredients in with the dry until crumbly</div><div style="text-align: left;">Press the mixture into the pan and evenly distribute making sure to get air pockets out. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Place in oven for 25-30 mins, remove and place on a cooling rack and let it sit until completely cool! </div><div style="text-align: left;">Then cut into bars and enjoy! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cMkGfoc8kQc/TyoI_z9sDWI/AAAAAAAABhE/MsSN-OT-ZsA/s1600/IMG_0764.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cMkGfoc8kQc/TyoI_z9sDWI/AAAAAAAABhE/MsSN-OT-ZsA/s320/IMG_0764.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now I lined my pan with parchment paper. . . . <strike>bad idea</strike>. It was so hard to get the paper off the I had to crumble my bars. :( </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-77PCkU7kAV8/TyoJM-TcYCI/AAAAAAAABhU/sN9fanNyss0/s1600/IMG_0767.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-77PCkU7kAV8/TyoJM-TcYCI/AAAAAAAABhU/sN9fanNyss0/s320/IMG_0767.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"> It still tasted so good and I bet it would be even better eaten like cereal! I guess I will have to try it!

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.myshineproject.com/" target="_blank"><u style="color: orange;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">The Shine Project!</span></u></a></div><br />
Ashley over at The Shine Project is amazing! This is one of my favorite quotes she wrote talking about her life. "If you're in too much of a rush to enjoy the small moments that matter, at the end of the day you're left with a bunch of meaningless events." LOVE IT! If you are not familiar with The Shine Project, head over there right now and help Ashley make a difference! <br />
Here is a small taste of what Ashley does. The Shine Project is a non-profit organization that raises money for inner city high school students, while getting them involved in service in their community.<br />
<br />
Here is how I found out I could help!<br />
<br />
<br />

They work with both Animal Control and the Humane Societies. They get animals from high kill shelters, foster them, work with them, rehabilitate them, and then work with the humane society to adopt the animals out. It is a wonderful thing! Be sure to go to there website and read all about it. Hopefully it will inspire you like it has me. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Trebuchet,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">In our local paper this week, it had an article about the local Animal Control Supervisor getting laid off due to "budget cuts". It talked about how the Shelter was once funded around $300,000.00 a year to run and then it got cut to $75,000.00. and now this year they say there will be ZERO funding! How sad it is that, to think about the animals that will now suffer because of a humans mistake. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Trebuchet,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I have always had a dream to open my own shelter, I just had no idea where to start. So now thanks to reading this blog. I know exactly where I am going to start. 1 animal at a time! </span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

</span></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">A little background info. . .</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Back in May of 2010, my husband started P90x and I have to say I was happy for him but it was terrible timing. I was 8 months pregnant with our second son, so while he was losing weight (30 lbs) and looking all sexy, I had gained 30lbs and was looking like a whale. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hC8-RDX7EW8/TyQp3m3aj6I/AAAAAAAABdc/4y3iZuQhuk4/s1600/28546_423009110629_598280629_5725824_1299517_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hC8-RDX7EW8/TyQp3m3aj6I/AAAAAAAABdc/4y3iZuQhuk4/s200/28546_423009110629_598280629_5725824_1299517_n.jpg" width="150" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">I was still really supportive and made all his meals and occupied our other son who was almost 2 so he could workout. Anyways P90x came with a meal plan to follow and I am not going to lie it was not that great! Well after a month of him on P90x he wrecked his dirtbike, broke his leg and completely tore his ACL. After 12 weeks of sitting on the couch he had put about 15lbs back on. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Now it is January of 2012 and his knee is now 100% and . . . . </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large;">We started P90x together!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Ian and I started our workout routines January 17. We both started on P90X but I was really worried about looking kinda <strike>bulky</strike> like some of the women on the workout videos. So I switched to <span style="color: #e06666;">The Pink Method</span>. I patiently awaited its arrival while I continued P90x Well it finally came yesterday so today is day 1 of <span style="color: #e06666;">The Pink Method</span>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My husband is still on P90x and the meals are still terrible, so I did lots and lots and lots of research and came up with meals that are healthy and follow the strict guidelines that P90x requires so I am going to post the recipes just in case there is anyone else out there who is on P90x and can't stand the meals! lol </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">One of the worst meals for me was a breakfast sandwich thing made with soy sausage patties, mozzarella cheese and a plain english muffin. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here is my spin on it, and it actually has less calories and fat then the alternative.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here we go! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Directions: Start toasting the english muffin, while the english muffin is toasting pour the 6 egg whites into a hot skillet and scramble. As soon as the eggs are not running anymore, place the Canadian bacon in the pan away from the eggs, to allow it to heat up. Everything should finish around the same time. Place the cheese slice on the english muffin add the egg and Canadian bacon and top with the other english muffin and you are ready to go! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
For a few years I have been wanting to have a food storage, and not just a stock pile of ketchup, and canned beans. A real food storage, canning it all myself! Such as basic baking needs,sweeteners (powdered sugar, brown sugar, white sugar, honey, ect), spices, fats (butter powder, olive oil, shortening. . .ect) Then I can get a little crazier and move onto soups, dehydrated soups, cereals, rice, grains, beans, pastas, canned meats.. . am I over whelming you yet? he he Well there is more, but we will start here! Be sure to follow along as I go. I am going to start working my way down the list slowly. There is a piece of equipment that I REALLY REALLY WANT! Here is a manual can sealer that is only $1000.00 yeah only! lol I need to can a lot of stuff to justify that purchase! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mtmarketplace.com/can_sealer_manual.html"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8e6D344XTqQ/TyDTcUmKm9I/AAAAAAAABdI/FqihfB6dMJs/s320/seamer_sm.jpg" width="191" /></a></div><br />
<br />
There are cheaper ways to go about it, sometimes the local LDS churches have days open to the public where you can take your stuff and use their can sealer. They also sell everything you need, the cans, the lids and the grains to fill your cans!<br />
<br />
Anyways, I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT ONE OF THESE CAN SEALERS! So when I asked my husband for one. . . his answer. . "can't you sell your the stuff in your store to get one?" ha ha guys are so funny! My answer. . . "Honey, I don't want to wait that long, I want one now!!!!!!" lol needless to say, that didn't get me anywhere!<br />
<br />
So as I patiently wait for hubby to change his mind! I guess I will start planning my garden (I am going to make sure I have enough to stock up my food storage) and get my Inventory lists together and use my pressure canner and hot water bath and food grade seal-able 5 gallon buckets to do what I can.<br />
<br />
So I am going to be putting list of the food I want to put in my storage and a list of everything you need to can and store the items . So I will be starting with my hot water bath canner and what you can and can't preserve using this method! Be sure to follow along as I take this journey!Kyndalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14676343419373958068noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153650059400361331.post-41589996664837972472012-01-25T08:46:00.000-08:002012-01-27T06:45:53.705-08:00Pinterest Favorites: Valentine's Day Ideas!

What are my goals for life, my blog, my business, my family? What projects to I want to accomplish? Last year we completed most of our goals for the year, so hopefully this year we will too. However I do have a pretty tall order! So here is my list for this year *disclaimer here.(I add tons of stuff to my list as the year goes, I have a never ending list. lol)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">My #1 personal goal it to be more organized! yikes!!!</span> </div><br />
<br />
Let's start with my family and homestead goals and projects. I already spend almost every waking moment well and sleeping moment taking care and tending to my family. I wouldn't change it for the world. So this year my goals for my family are a little different.<br />
<ul><li>Plan the most awesome birthday parties for my soon to be 4 year old and my soon to be 2 year old. ( If you were following my blog last year then you got the see the awesome birthdays I put together last year. Reed had a Toy Story Birthday and Ryder had a Monsters Inc.)</li>
<li>Do an awesome family vacation!</li>
<li>Build the boys a totally awesome 2 story tree house!</li>
<li>More date nights for the hubby and I</li>
<li>Building my compost bins</li>
<li> Raised beds and cute picket fence around them.</li>
<li>FINALLY after a year of living here I am going to landscape! </li>
<li>Clear a couple more acres.(we have 7 and have cleared 2 so far)</li>
<li>Build and fence an area for a horse, so this time next year I can get my very own horse! </li>
<li>Build a root cellar </li>
<li>Have my food storage complete</li>
<li>So the list will go on and on, so we will leave room to fill in some more as the year goes on!</li>
<li> </li>
<li><br />
</li>
<li><br />
</li>
<li><br />
</li>
<li><br />
</li>
</ul><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Goals for my Blog </span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Blog more often, once every couple weeks isn't enough. :) With all the projects I listed above, I should have tons to blog about!</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Feature my favorite blogs and shops!</span> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Beef up my recipe section (I am so bad about taking pictures while I am cooking)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Keep everyone up to date as we slowly turn self sustainable. Building our compost bins, raised garden bed, food storage, root cellar, ect. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hopefully by the end of the year my blog will be 100x better and I will be a better blogger! </span></span></li>
</ul><br />
My Business<br />
<ul><li> I want to expand my business to include my other kitchen accessories, like my hot pads, trivets and full aprons. </li>
<li>My Mini CSA farm. Last year I grew vegetables for my friend Alex over at Alexandra Rose. Well it was the first garden at my new house and it wasn't all the great. I did get Alex her veggies every couple of weeks but it was not what I was used to! This year I am going to be putting in raised beds and planting a ton of vegetables, as I am going to be starting my own organic food storage. I will grow veggies for a couple friends this year, and I am super excited to see how huge the difference is.</li>
<li>Also last year I designed a few gardens for friends and family and this year I will be doing the same. More info on that later! </li>
</ul><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">SO be sure to keep checking back to see what this year has in store for me and my family!!! </span></div>Kyndalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14676343419373958068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153650059400361331.post-50936846293380496352012-01-02T20:33:00.000-08:002012-01-02T20:33:22.954-08:00Afraid to Live Life. . . . .I am not one to wear my heart on my sleeve but sometimes thoughts just need to be shared. Sorry if this is hard to understand, when emotions are crazy, my thoughts are hard to get into words. <br />
<br />
This morning as I was driving into town to see my brother before he goes back to South Carolina (2863 miles away) to continue his basic training, I had a ton of emotions overtake me. I was driving thinking how thankful I am to have my brother and sister there when I need the, and how thankful I am to have two beautiful children and a man who stands by my side.<br />
On my way into town I passed the local fire station and saw the flag flying at half staff, and I just broke out in tears. Last week a local man, who I went to high school with, who was also a firefighter and a paramedic passed away in a tragic car accident, leaving behind family and friends. Earlier that same night an elderly woman who I have know my whole 24 years of life passed away in another traffic accident, leaving behind children, a husband and many friends. The man I went to high school with I didn't know him that well, we were only acquaintances, but that didn't seem to matter, it broke my heart. I cried and cried, not only because he passed away and I felt bad for all those who were close to him, but also because reality really set it and I realized that it could be anybody. I know when something like this happens, everyone says "treat people like it is the last time you will see them, you never know." well really you don't ever know. I never really thought about death before I had children, now I am terrified of it. And not because I am worried about where I will go. But I am terrified, my boys will not remember me, or Ian wont know how to take care of them like I do, or what if they don't know how to cope. . . and the thoughts go on and on. Or god forbid something happen to one of them, I would be beside myself. I know I shouldn't live like that but I can't help it. The day after both these people passed away, Ian went to the grocery store and was gone longer then I thought he should be, I called him and called him frantic, afraid that something had happened, I don't like to leave my house out of fear that something might happen. Crazy right. I don't know how to get over this or deal with this fear. Hopefully in time thing will be semi normal again for me. I know things will never be the same for the families and friends of Tyler and Maria.<br />
<br />
I pray for comfort and peace for everyone who is suffering through all this and hope that some light can be seen. I pray that I stop living in fear and accept that there is a master plan that no one knows. <br />
<br />
RIP Tyler and MariaKyndalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14676343419373958068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153650059400361331.post-8374608020116313682011-12-30T10:25:00.000-08:002011-12-30T10:25:06.335-08:00I have been enjoying my family this holiday season.

This weekend was my First Holiday Bazaar, and well lets say I am chalking it up as a lesson learned. I am not giving up on Holiday bazaars but I am going to be more selective in the bazaars I choose. Lets start at the beginning, so first when I called the man "in charge" he was very hard to get a hold of and terrible at returning phone calls. (yes I know RED flag). When we finally got in touch he really grilled me and asked a ton of questions about what I was making. I thought okay he really wants to be selective as to who is at the bazaar. He also told me that he asks what each vendor makes so there are not any duplicates. After the long phone call I thought well I have nothing to loose I will set up shop. I was excited, nervous, anxious. I didn't know how much stuff to make, or how I was going to set up my booth display. So Saturday morning came and I went to the bazaar an hour before it started and set up and got all giddy and was ready to greet customers. Slowly other vendors trickled in and were setting up there booths and as I looked around I realized. . . . . wait this is not what I had expected. There were 4 purse ladies(you know the one who buy knockoffs and then sell them), 2 Mary Kay reps, a lady selling tons of sheets. Now don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with selling that kind of stuff I just kinda, sorta expected it to be more handmade crafts, since it was called the <u><span style="font-size: small;">Holiday CRAFT Bazaar</span>. </u>After seeing that I really kinda thought, man this guy fooled me. SO with all that negative I decided well I need to make this positive. I took notes on how I would display things better.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Like making my display easy to navigate with prices marked</div><div style="text-align: center;">Making a place for me to stand behind my table so I am easy to approach and talk to.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Engaging with people as they walk by and bringing them to my table.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I also took note of what questions I would ask when looking into a bazaar.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> Do they advertised? </div><div style="text-align: center;">What other kind of booths would be there? Handmade or not?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Asking there return rate (how many booths come back each year?) </div><br />
There is much more but that will come in another post.<br />
<br />
The good news is I did break even. So it didn't cost me anything but my time to be there, I even made enough to pay for the items I purchased for my display. That was awesome. I also met this totally awesome lady named Brooke she is the face behind <a href="http://www.sharpcouture.com/">SharpCouture</a>. Her stuff is AMAZING! She also has a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/home.php#%21/sharpcouture">Facebook</a> page. She sells totally awesome burlesque costumes and masks, totally adorable sock banks, feather earrings (she even dyes the feathers herself). EVERYTHING IS AMAZING! Be sure to check it out and tell her I sent you!!!!<br />
<br />
Well with lessons learned, breaking even and meeting new people in the handmade world, it wasn't to bad of a weekend! If you have a good or bad experience that you think the rest of us can learn from! Link up to my blog!!! <br />

On another note, this week has been so busy!!! I have been sewing and crafting away getting ready for a Holiday Bazaar! It has been Crazy!!!!! The shop is getting low, my patience is running thin and my head is pounding! I knew I should have started this project way sooner then last week! lol<br />
<br />
Well I am off to finish crafting! Be sure to check back for photos of my booth at the bazaar and an updated shop!!!Kyndalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14676343419373958068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153650059400361331.post-67767972689750954122011-11-24T09:58:00.000-08:002011-11-24T09:58:12.149-08:00Thanksgiving and Black Friday!! Link up!First Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! This is my favorite holiday, no gifts, no craziness, just family and friends spending time together and be thankful for the blessed year. Oh yeah and the AMAZING food!!!<br />
On another note, as I was watching to news, I saw something that was kind of sad, people missing out on valuable family time to save a buck. Now I am all for shopping and saving money, but really camping out a week ahead of time to get the best deals. Kinda Crazy!!! I rather have a nice dinner with my family and friends and then hit the shopping!! lol<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">What are your family traditions? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Do shop on Black Friday? </span></div>Everyone know I have two sons and 3 year old and a 1 1/2 year old. Well this will be the first year that I will not be taking them <strike>Black Friday </strike>shopping with me! I know crazy I took them the last two years! Now usually my little brother (who is 18) is my <strike>Black Friday</strike> shopping partner, however this year he is at Basic Training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. He shipped out November 7, 2011 (my 23rd birthday). So this year I am going to be doing my <strike>Black Friday</strike> shopping with his girlfriend and her family! I am looking forward to it! We have a few stops we are going to be making.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">What stops will you be making? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">What stores have the best deals where you are? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">I would love to hear about what everyone does to get ready for Thanksgiving and <strike>Black Friday</strike></span>!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I sat down with Ian and Reed last night, Reed made his list for Santa and so did Ian! lol I decided on what stores I needed to go to first and what time to leave. Nothing on <strike>Black Friday</strike> goes as planned, so that is my plan. lol</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Be sure to check back tomorrow probably evening (after my nap) for a look at our Thanksgiving feast. We are doing something totally different they the usual Thanksgiving dinner. Also check back to see the awesome Black Friday deals that I got! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
