As a Christmas gift this year, I gave the kids a trip into the city. We spent New Years Eve weekend in the city being tourists. We looked at the Macy's window, ate next to the big Christmas tree at the Walnut room, walked around the city, and spent lots of time swimming in the hotel pool.<br />

When the garden gave us way too many tomatoes, there was no better way to use them than to make spaghetti sauce from scratch. I have never made spaghetti sauce so I found a few recipes online and made my own version. The taste turned out excellent, but it was very watery. Next time I'll boil it a bit longer.alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14872938855189602371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421957965146507034.post-18134644909243420542017-02-07T18:41:00.000-09:002017-02-07T18:41:00.551-09:00Can and Pressure Cook Something<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Living in a new town makes it difficult to find a church and a group of people to study with. So, I joined an online bible study. It is part of the Bible app and its great because I can be friends with people in the app and discuss things. Mostly I just talk to Eric about stuff. <br />
<br />
I have also been reading a daily reading. I've shared it with a few people, but again, mostly I discuss it with Eric. <br />
<br />
I know this is not exactly what I had in mind when I said "join a bible study group", but ya gotta start somewhere!alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14872938855189602371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421957965146507034.post-9427709711159571272016-05-10T20:00:00.000-08:002016-05-10T20:00:24.140-08:00Do a Groupon<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've had so many opportunities to try this over the last few months. When I visit friends who have one I always say I'm going to try it, but then get distracted by other things.</div>

It felt good and stretched my back, but I could only hang for 20-30 second at a time cause it was difficult for my feet to stay supported in the straps. Next time I'll try it with my shoes on!</div>

Two of my favorite ladies drove in from out of town to hang with me for a ladies spa night. We did pedis and manis, facials, and even tried homemade belly wraps (trust me, you dont want to see a pic of that!). We drank sangria and ate snacks and talked the night away. Good times!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PS Belly wraps did nothing but make a mess! We measured before and after...no change.</div>
