Flyin' rocks

Ever get a chip or a crack in your windsheild?  You know...you are driving along, happy as can be and all of a sudden.  WHACK.  The tiniest flying pebble decides to fly up and ruin your day.  I swore when the little pebble hit my windsheild.  C'mon! I'm on a budget!  The damage was on the passenger …

Cooking with Jodelene

I came across this blog when I was searching for a specific recipe.  Clayton and I are going to our first Yoga class together (my first class ever) and I wanted to make something healthy for dinner!  Originally I wanted to go to Naam for dinner but Clayton suggested we eat in to save money.  So I …

Cooking with Jodelene

Did you know that I am addicted to entering contests? Of course you did if you are one of my regular readers!  I blogged about all the stuff I've won and unfortunately from all the contests I've entered since Feb 2009, I have not won a damn thing! C'mon Lady Luck!  Well with entering contests comes …

A weight lifted

Over the past few months I have been extremely focused on two things (other than my Family of course which is #1). 

  1. Financial Outlook
  2. Health

You may have gathered from some previous posts that I have struggled a bit with both; being on maternity leave is hard on the books and storing a baby in y…

Sooooshie Review

Clayton and I haven't been out for dinner in ages! I've been cooking most of our meals and we needed a date night.  Granny is called to the rescue to look after Masey and I start to think about where we should go for dinner.  I'm a bit hesitant because I'm really trying to avoid spending money on ea…

Cooking with Jodelene and Clayton

Yep, I'm cooking again.  Despite the partial fail of my last recipe, I'm still willing to continue on in the kitchen. 

Luckily today I have a partner in the kitchen! Clayton has graciously offered to help cook dinner with me :)  Today we will be cooking for David & Ginny (Clayton's Parents).  Out…

Reduce reduce reduce!

I have been putting off weighing myself (via Wii Fit) for the past few weeks because I've been eating so much holiday junk.  The delicious baking provided by my Mom, Grandma and Mother in law have been filling my tummy when I visit and I know I need to stop at one but it's so hard! So just to recap.…

Oh boobie boobie

Pregnancy does some wondrous things to your body (by wondrous, I mean awful, horrible things) and it takes quite a while to accept these changes.  One of the major changes I experienced was an increase in breast size.  Let me tell ya, I definitely did not need bigger boobs.  I was already a 38D to…

Cooking with Jodelene

Welcome to the first installment of Cooking with Jodelene.  I am quite the cook in the kitchen, my meals are often tasty but look like something you wouldn't think was edible.  It's all quite amusing I think and of course I have to mention how much of a mess I make when I do cook.  Clayton can attes…

Can I start this day again!?

I can't imagine why I'm having such a hard day when it's SO nice out!  It's only 2pm and this is what's happened so far:


  • Mason refuses to eat any solids

  • Mason refuses to nap and howled for 20 mins before he finally passed out

  • The metal coat hooks fell off the wall which is probably my fault s…

    Whether it was a childhood favorite, a staple as a college student or just because u love it so, Kraft Dinner may have been consumed at some point in your life.  For me, I pick #1 and #3 (I didn't attend post sec).  Back in the day, your options were Kraft Dinner 'original' which is just plain stra…
