Is Anyone Out There?

I've had this blog since 2009. I was sooo excited when I started it up. I thought that for sure like all the blogs I read I would have people commenting like crazy. But that's not what I've found. After 2 years most of my posts are left uncommented on. Which leaves me to wonder... 

Is anyone out there? Or am I here all alone?

Confession of a Repentant Mom

 I don't know what came over me this morning or how this was able to enter my thoughts, let alone escape my lips. But before I was even aware of what it was, there it was, something I will NEVER be able to take back.

There's a saying we learn as children, "Sticks and stones my break my bones, but words will never hurt me." This is a lie from the pit of hell! Sticks and stones may break bones that have the ability to heal, but words... words can cut you to the core. Words can bruise the soul and have the ability to alter your future if you allow them to.

As you all know I have a five year old daughter, who on here, I refer to as "Little Miss". She's very much like me in attitude and deed. You reap what you sow, right?

So here it is, my confession...

Family Fun Friday!

It's here! Our first Family Fun Friday of the new year.

Here's what's on the agenda for the evening:

Dinner:

• Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken (Babycenter.com)
  Serves 4
  
  1 1/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thighs would be fine too)
  Salt and pepper
  1/2 cup honey
  1/4 cup soy sauce
  2 tablespoons diced onion
  2 tablespoons ketchup
  1 tablespoon canola oil
  1 clove garlic, minced
  1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 3 Tablespoons water
  Sesame seeds
  Season both sides of chicken with lightly with salt and pepper, put into crock pot. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours, or just until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from crock pot, leave sauce. Dissolve 2 teaspoons of cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of water and pour into crock pot. Stir to combine with sauce. Replace lid and cook sauce on high for ten more minutes or until slightly thickened. Cut chicken into bite size pieces, then return to pot and toss with sauce before serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.
