I Got It From My Momma!!

So yesterday, I spent pretty much all day standing in our kitchen prepping meals for the up coming week.
 All the recipes I followed are from the Good Cheap Eats book.

I'm making 5 meals this coming week and they are ready to be cooked. I didn't cook anything before hand, except for the chicken for the chicken black bean and rice soup. I boiled the chicken legs in water with garlic, carrots, celery, and half an onion so that I got some chicken stock for the week as well. It turned out very well.

Three Jars of Chicken stock for soup and making rice this week.

I also got out the bread machine and made some amish white bread. It turned out so fluffy and good. I had some toast this morning and the slice of bread was a tad bit too big for the toaster. That's good bread right there.

As for the other meals, I made my own "Rice a Roni" jars, (one cup of rice with all the seasonings I need for the meal).
And also made my own "Shake-n-Bake" for tonight's dinner.

 I've got vegetables cut and ready to go, and everything measured out.
 I feel very accomplished. And also, I have missed doing stuff like this. I used to when I lived at home and was first married. But after a few years, and after having to work three jobs at a time, I've just fallen out of routine and just forgotten how much fun I had doing prep work and making sure that the pantry is full of ready to go meals and what not's.

Chopped and measured out, ready to be cooked.

The Green Beans already have olive oil and seasoning on them, ready to be roasted in the oven!

Beef, Chicken, and more vegetables in the freezer. 

 
Not pictured is my sourdough starter! I'm very excited about this, I love sourdough bread and rolls. I'm a bit nervous at how it will turn out, but the recipe and instructions seem simple enough.
 You can get all the recipes I am using from the Good Cheap Eats book, and also the blog .

My momma got me this book for Christmas, and I've been using it everyday sense then.

 Happy Sunday.

It Has Begun!!!!

 Good Saturday Morning To You!

 Well, It's started. I ordered a GED practice book a few days ago and I am now on the path to finally getting my GED and possibly taking the ACT and starting some Online Classes.
 I'm so nervous about this. I was never very good at taking tests, or sitting down for lessons. Hopefully Josh will be patient with me as I go through this small struggle of anxiety, self doubt, and worrisome sleep. But I know it's for the best and that no matter the outcome of all of this, I will have tried my best and it is going toward something I've been wanting to do for a very long time.
 I am so grateful for Josh when I made the decision, He supported my ideas and dreams, and has offered to help me in any way. I also have some amazing friends who are saying that they are so proud of me and believe in me.
 I'm wanting all of this time and effort to go towards getting a degree in Early Childhood Education. I've always wanted to work with children, from day one to pre-k. I'm enjoying my job very much and seeing and hearing this kids learn new words and skills, it just melts my heart.
 I'm almost 27 years old. It's time I do something for myself and my future along the lines of education.

So...

 Be ready for some posts where I may say things like, I Can't Do This! I'm So Stressed and Confused.

But also be ready for some posts where I might say, I DID IT!! THIS IS HAPPENING!!

I'm scared, nervous, excited, happy and ready for this to begin.


 Many Blessings.

It's not always easy...

 Working a 40 hour work week, that is 4, 10 hour days for me. 5, 9 hour days for Josh. Yes the pay checks are worth it, paying our bills, going grocery shopping, and getting some random things for my class room. But at the same time, I'm missing my afternoons off most days. Being able to sit down for a few hours and do a craft or a panting. Work out in the yard, or call a friend. Take a bubble bath.
 Now more than ever I am wishing I had a few more afternoons to myself to get school things done. Cut out the pieces of a craft for the kids to glue, finish coloring and putting together the bulletin board art. Write up and print out welcome and information letters to send home to the parents sense I can't always stay and talk to them. (I also feel odd adding them on facebook...)
 Just an afternoon or two to get caught up on some things. I also feel like I am slacking on house work as well. The yard needs mowed, the floors need swept, food needs prepped, and the cats need attention.
 But going into this job and life style, I knew it wasn't going to be easy. That's why I have Josh. He actually helps out when I need it. He also seems to know when we just need a day to be lazy and watch tv or go horse back riding.
 He likes to watch me print off craft pages for the kids and work on them myself. He is amazing. Sometime he encourage me to get my butt in gear and get things done, but afterwards he sets me free. "Thank you helping with the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen! Go take a bath and read!!" He knows that I need space sometimes. And I Love Him For That.

 Now...
  Being a Teacher for One Year Olds!!
That is a tough job. They don't quite get how to follow some directions. Like...
 *Put the Triangle on the Glue...
*Pick up our toys so we can have Breakfast...
*Shhh.... be quiet your friends are still napping...
 I am trying to find some crafts and work sheets that they can do, with my help.
I am also finding that I am gaining a lot of patience working with these toddlers. And drinking my coffee at record speeds! :)
 But you know. I wouldn't trade my job for any other. Yes waitressing got me quick cash, and bartending was fun. But these kids.
 When they smile and come running to me to give me a hug, or pat my back and tell me it's ok while I'm sitting on the floor crying. They light up my world. It's not always easy...
 But, It's Worth It.

 Wish all this said, does anyone out there know of any good blogs, forums, web sites.... that have good ideas for One Year Olds? I'm looking for printables and downloads, and even places where I can chat with other teachers and get tips and help.
 Any advice is great as well.

Many Blessings!

No Work Today!!

What do I do on my days off?

Laundry,

Sweep and Mop the floors,

Clean the Bathroom,

Make the Bed,

Clean the Kitchen,

Clean the Dinning Room,

Clean the Living Room,

Unpack all the boxes that have not been unpacked yet,

Find Places for all My stuff with out taking up too much room,

and,

Work out.

All the while, play with the cat,

make lunch and dinner,

listen to music,

do yoga,

maybe call a family member or two.

Yup, I'm pretty busy on my days off, and I kick myself if I don't get anything done. I'm just weird like that. I hate messes, and even clutter. My room, that's my room so what ever, but the living room, dinning room, kitchen, I hate to see clutter. If I had a busy day at work, and I come home to stuff every where and a mess, You can bet I'll have an anxiety attach. I'm becoming more and more like my momma everyday. And that's a pretty good thing.

I don't mind spending my days off like this. I'm going to get some gardening stuff this weekend, and make some garden boxes for salad and herbs.

I'm also working a story entry for my friends website, a story about the number one turning point in my life.

I'm having some troubles with it though, because essay writing was not a strong point in my school, but I'm writing from my heart, and that's all that matters right?!

Well I've got to get some lunch heated up for when Josh comes home for his lunch. Also have another load of laundry to do.

Have a wonderful day.

Many Blessings.

Wanderlust

When I was little, I never thought much of the ocean.
It was big, dark, wet, scary, filled with strange creatures. The things my nightmares were made of. I am afraid of water, well, water I cannot see in. Dark, cold water. If I can't see the bottom, I wont go in.
 Well, when I went to California back in 2012, I was excited to see someplace new. Though we didn't do much other than sleep, eat and lay on the beach, it was still an adventure for me. But the ocean... Oh That Ocean.
 I couldn't see the end of it, and it was so dark, I was frightened, yet, mesmerized. Here I was, Just a dot, seeing for the first time how big this world was. I was awestruck. I teared up, I looked to the heavens and said, this is bigger than how much you love me?! This, as far as the East is from the West? From one horizon to the other. I was just, awestruck.
 After we returned back to our daily lives, I was hooked. I always thought of the ocean, of the waves. The sound of the water rushing over the shore, the gulls crying in the air. The warmth of the sun reflecting off the white sand. Children giggling in the foam and seaweed. I longed to go back.
 It wouldn't be until 3 years later that I would go back. Not to the same beach or part of the ocean. But back to a beach and see the ocean from a different point of view.
 In May 2015, I went to Florida with my dad, little sister and her best friend. We went to swim with the manatees in Crystal River, then made our way from north to south then back up, all along the coast. The waters in Florida were clear, and a beautiful teal color that I cannot unsee. The sand was softer, The sun was warmer. My heart was better. This was a vacation I needed after my divorce. I was so unsettled, and my soul was restless. That was when I found out for the first time what Wanderlust felt like.
 I was being drawn to go somewhere I have never been, nor ever thought of going. To be someplace new, meet new people, to just be new again. And I am better for it.

Never in a million years would I have ever thought I would put on a wet suit, go out on a boat at 6 o'clock in the morning, plunge into a cold fresh water river, and put my face under water and come face to face with the most adorable creature I've yet to meet, and touch it and almost ride on it as it swam underneath me and rose to the surface. I was terrified. My heart rate went sky high, my breathing was irregular, and I had the biggest smile on my face when my sister pulled my hand over to squishy, hairy boulder just inches in front of her. I reached for Lydias hand and did the same, when we all looked up at eachother, I couldn't tell if it was just water, or tears of joy, but the smiles we shared, and I was so thankful for my daddy. He paid for all of this, drove all night, woke us up, and was just as happy as we were. Just remembering all of this has me worked up.
 And I'm Longing To Go Back.

Growing up, I always thought I was named after The Little Mermaid. We looked alike. Skinny, long red hair, could sing pretty well. But I couldn't swim to save my life. But I do like some water. Pools, baths, hottubs, streams. If I could see and touch the bottom, I was fine. The sound of running water soothes me. Feeling it wash over my skin, like it's washing all the bad in the world away is the best feeling in the world to me. But the Ocean. Those waves, will kill me. I got washed away in a wave in California. Was rolled and flipped, I didn't know which way was up or down. I panicked. I cried, I prayed. I even sent an I Love You to my family in my mind, thinking I wasn't going to make it back to the beach. But luckily, I floated, and made my way back. That was the first and last time I ever went into the water.

 But, In Florida. Allison and I went out so far, the people on the beach looked like dots. We didn't realize this. We just kept walking and talking and watching our feet and looking for seastars and fish.
 When we looked up, the water was up to our chins and only one thought came to mind for me, SHARKS! Time to go back, and quickly, I said to her and we swam, and laughed, and rode waves like we were mermaids. Smiles on our faces. Lydia thought we were crazy and dad did his, I should be upset with you but I just can't be cause look how happy you are, laugh. And we all sat together and watched the sunset over the water.

This winter I have wanderlust so bad, I can't sit still. I keep looking at all my pictures of my adventures from summer, and I am just beside myself I didn't do more. I didn't travel further. That I am living in an apartment instead of a pull around camper and seeing the world.
 I do like my apartment and warm soft bed. I love being with Josh, and my job. But OH THE WANDERLUST!!

The Warm Sun...

 The Colors...

I have made a promise to myself, that this summer, I would go somewhere new.
 A Dessert, A Snow Capped Mountain, A Muggy Rainforest.
              ANYWHERE!
As long as it was new, I was going to go.
 But for now, I have the memories, and those will do.

 
Many Warm Blessings To You.

Good Morning

Well good morning my fellow rays of sunshine. How are you?
I'm doing well today. I was up at 7:45am, dressed and ready for the day by 8:45am. Mostly because I had to take my handsome Josh a different shirt to wear at work because the one he had on was too small. I guess it's about time to go through the closet and drawers to weed through the outdated, too small clothes and make a list of what needs to be replaced.
I plan on taking all the unwanted, decent clothes to the homeless shelter, as well as some hats, gloves, and scarves.
I'm also wanting to take some cat, and dog treats/food to the animal shelter. I've been to the local animal shelter a few times now and those loving pets need homes so badly, I cry every time I remind myself we can't take them. Though I really wish I could.
But , aside from being in a giving mood. I'm doing well in my new life. I'm still dating Josh, and we are very happy, going on 10 months on the 14th. I'm working hard at the bakery, and learning new things. I've been cooking, crafting, and painting. 
So , yeah. I'm pretty happy. Trying to keep busy and keep myself from getting the winter blues and cabin fever. It has not snowed yet here in North Eastern Arkansas. But, it is cold. So cold that my car door lock was frozen. I was almost late to work because of that.

Other than all that was said, I'm not up to very much. My birthday is coming up soon. I'm planning a surprise party for Josh for his birthday. And that's about it.

Oh! I did have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. And new years was a blast as well.

Well that's about it for today.

  Many Blessings to you and stay warm.
*Arielle Caitlynn*

Happy New Years Eve!

 Again, It's been a while.
I've been, as usual, busy. I got a new job at Cupcake shop. GiGi's Cupcakes. You know you've heard of it, www.gigiscupcakesusa.com .
 Anyways.
I quit Olive Garden. Too much stress for no pay. Now I'm working up to 8 hours at GiGi's. Up at 4-5am, home by 12-1ish pm.
 It's got me busy. But I'm learning to manage my time there and at home.
I'm starting to do some meal plans for the weeks/month to help with shopping and eating better for the new year. Josh and I have made a deal to start eating better and work out.
 I'm excited to see what this new year has to bring. I've been doing ok so far. Making enough money to pay bills and still have some money left over to either put towards the next month (which is what I usually do) or spend (which is what I want to do).
 Well that's about it for now.
Blessings.

Meal Plan

 

From the Bottom of My Heart

Being self conscious problem... Only. Wanting to work out and get fit and feel good, worried someone will  see me. Wanting to lay out and bask in the sun, worried someone will see me. Wanting to wear the crop top I bought two summers ago, never wear it cause someone is sure to see me.
 This is a real problem with me and it's hindering. I can't even go work out with just Josh cause I don't want to be seen. I'm not strong. So I feel stupid when I try to work out at a gym cause I have everything on a low setting. I want to run but I guess the way I run is funny looking cause people stare. I don't want to be stared at. I just want... to be free of my own mind sometimes. To just shut the little voice off (the one that always says... they see you. You look funny to them. Just go home) I want to be free of this but I can't. It's all me. Yes it's me being embarrassed. No it's not a body issue. It's all mental to me. My thoughts keep me from doing things I want to do. I can't even go places alone cause I'm afraid of... people I guess. Seeing me alone. Judging me alone. Yes listening to music helps. Blocks out the world around me but it doesn't stop what's going on inside my head. So please don't go on about, you're beautiful. Love your body. Don't worry.
 It's not a self image problem.
It's a fear of new things and looking like a damn fool. thing.
 Yes I'm pretty. I get that. Yes I'm skinny. But that's not my problem. :( its so hard to communicate what it is exactly. It's just me I guess. Being hard on myself.

Art By. ME.

Girl Under Construction

 So much has happened in the past year,

 I'm putting myself under construction. As well as the Blog.

 Not sure where to begin, but I'll have this blog up and running again soon.

 I'm sorry for being away for so long and keeping you my dear readers out of the loop.

 As for Caitydid Creations.... I'll start that back up again soon as well.

 Check back in to see new pictures along the side bar, and for posts about what has happened in my life sense last may.

 Warning... some of it is pretty deep, and we may cry together.

 Also,

  Some Prayer is greatly needed right now. I've been a bit lost and feeling kind of... broken. So maybe just a prayer for courage, and peace,

 Good news though,

 I get to move into my new apartment this Thursday, and I can't tell you how Happy and Excited I am about that. (story to come as to why it's MY apartment and why I'm so happy about it)

 Like I said, it's been one Hell of year and past 5 months. I'll be back to tell you all about it soon.

 Much Love and Many Blessings to you My Dearest Readers.

My Mom...

 My mom,
What can I say. She is the best. She raised Three Girls, some goats, cats, horses, and a hand full of chickens. She babysits her grandchildren, all the while working, and keeping the homestead going.

 She Home Schooled for all grades, and is still teaching us well into our adulthood.

I love my mom. She is the Proverbs 31 woman all of us women should strive to be. She cared for us and still is. Not a day goes by that momma doesn't call/text/or skype to make sure I am ok and well. She cooks, cleans, loves, dreams, knits, sews, crochets, teaches, supports, prays, but most of all, she is just who she is. She showed us girls how to Live in this world. How to take care of our selves, but also have fun doing so. With out my momma I would not be where I am today, with out her encouragement, I would not be able to follow my dreams. She is My Mom. I'm so Thankful and so Blessed, that God has Given Me to Her and Her to Me. He really knew what He was doing. :)


I Love You Mom, Happy Mothers Day.

Proverbs 31 10-31
10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
    She is more precious than rubies.
11 Her husband can trust her,
    and she will greatly enrich his life.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
    all the days of her life.
13 She finds wool and flax
    and busily spins it.
14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
    bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
    and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.
16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
    with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She is energetic and strong,
    a hard worker.
18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
    her lamp burns late into the night.
19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,
    her fingers twisting fiber.
20 She extends a helping hand to the poor
    and opens her arms to the needy.
21 She has no fear of winter for her household,
    for everyone has warm[b] clothes.
22 She makes her own bedspreads.
    She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,
    where he sits with the other civic leaders.
24 She makes belted linen garments
    and sashes to sell to the merchants.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
    and she laughs without fear of the future.
26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
    and she gives instructions with kindness.
27 She carefully watches everything in her household
    and suffers nothing from laziness.
28 Her children stand and bless her.
    Her husband praises her:
29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
    but you surpass them all!”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
    but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
31 Reward her for all she has done.
    Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Freezer Cooking....

Married for 1 year 10 months and 20 days, I'm still trying to figure out a good grocery budget for me and my husband. He needs lunch at work, then a good dinner after. I eat after work, and then just snack the rest of the day. My husband eats A LOT! He is like a bottomless pit, like he has never had a meal before and will never have one again. I kind of get at him about eating like that, but like always, it goes in one ear and out the other. ;)

 Well, sense we moved money has been a bit tighter than normal. So I'm trying to stock up and some freezer meals. Just small ones that have a lot in them to keep my vacuum cleaner satisfied.

 I found some good ideas on pinterest, and of course, Momma!! (Freezer Cooking, Happy To Be Home)

So this week I'm going to try to make a bunch of meals and snacks for the freezer, I went shopping yesterday and got $100. worth of food. Now momma said that on a website she found a family lives on $100. per person, per week. Now... as much as I love that idea, I think here it will have to be $200. per person, per week. Haha.

 I got alot of frozen vegetables, and cheese, and butter. And, soft tortillas. Have you seen the commercials for the new Taco Bell breakfast with the egg, sausage and cheese burritos? Well i want to make lots of those. Also just regular burritos. I'll make some mini pizzas, mini meat loafs, chicken pot pies, Lots of mini stuff. Stuff that will fit in a lunch box, heat up in the microwave, and can be eaten in a hurry.

 I've made stuff like this before, and it was fun and made me feel good to open the freezer and see all these meals just waiting. I also want to make some crock pot meals. Chicken and rice, soups, stews, pasta, all of it!!

 Well, sense I haven't started cooking yet, that's tonight and the rest of the week, Here are some ideas I found on pinterest that will be my starting point.

easy breakfast bake

Pizza Cup Cakes

Chicken Pot Pie Cup Cakes

Creamy Veggie Soup

Baked Eggs for Breakfast Sandwiches

Pretzels

Hamburger and Hotdog Buns

Mini Meat Loaf

Breakfast Quesadilla

Breakfast Bowls.

And Many Many More!!!

Many Blessings,

Musings From Missouri.

 Yes that's right. Missouri.

We are moved. Have been for a while. I'm sorry for not updating sooner. I've just been very un-creative lately. Also, I've been busy getting the new apartment set up and finding a job, and getting a library card and missing my family and home. Oh how I miss home.

 My Mom and Dad came down about a week after we moved to bring me my van, and drop off our, washer and dryer!! I don't have to go to smelly, sketchy laundromats anymore!!! That makes me so happy. It's saving us time, gas, and money doing laundry here. And the fact that I have no idea where the laundromat is here in this new town, I don't know how close it is, or how much it is, it's so nice to just wash my clothes here at the apartment. :)

 Momma and Daddy didn't stay too long. Just the weekend, it wasn't long enough, I miss them. I was able to go home for Easter. Left for home on Thursday, 8 hours of open highway, 2 bottles of water, 2 bathroom stops, one gas stop, and I was home. Spent the day just chilling with my family on Friday. Then my nephew had a birthday party on Saturday, Easter lunch at my Grandma and Grandpas on Sunday, Shopping with my momma and lunch with Daddy and older sister on Monday, then I had to drive 8 hours back to Missouri on Tuesday, first day of work on Wednesday.

 I got a lot of visiting done in that weekend. Now I'm back in the South. In the mountains, (not really, the closest Ozark range is still some miles away. We are in the foot hills.) In our new apartment, working, (yeah!!!) and getting ready to do some gardening. Momma got me some potting soil and planters and seeds so I can get dirty. I'll start that tonight after work.

 I'm happy to be working again, even if it is just 3 hours a day right now, It's giving me something else to do, and getting me up early. I get up at 7:30 am, get my coffee started, do some work outs, then eat breakfast and get ready for work at 11:00 am. Then I get home about 2:30 pm, I may talk to Momma and my Nephew on Skype, then maybe so some laundry, get the dish washer going, or now, Garden!

 Oh yes, we have a dish washer now too!! Living the high life here!

Other than that, not much has been going on here. I'm trying to get more hours for work or maybe a second job. We have extra bills now too, so we are trying to keep up. It's hard. We are struggling a bit right now, but I have faith that we will pull through. I'm praying for more hours or a second job.

Thanks For Stopping by and listening (reading). Many Blessings to You From Missouri,
Arielle Caitlynn

Good Morning!!

It's a beautiful pre-summer day. I'm up early, and waiting on my coffee and doing some yoga in the morning sun coming through my living room windows.

 I work today at 11:00 am, and I'm not sure when I'll be home. But I am happy to have at least this one job this summer. My Darling Husband has been laid off for the month of May so he is a very busy bee trying to get a second job that may lead into a better (paying) full time job. I'm still working at the college, setting up, serving at, and cleaning up banquets. There are not as many this year as there were last, but I'm happy to still have some paying hours.
 I'm also happy to have some days off too, I'll be going home some, to help momma in the garden and with her soap business. I'm also cranking out some home made stuff myself!!
 Caity's Home Made Concoctions will be rolling into business soon!
I'll be making Little Guy Neck Ties,

 Coffee Cozies,

 & Little Girrly Head Bands. I'll be branching out to make more things as well but in time.
 I can't wait to start an online business with Momma! It will be so much fun. We have always talked about doing it and now with her selling her soap and homemade do-dads at the shop, she is really taking off, I just have to catch up a bit. We are going to make a small dream come true.
 Things here in the apartment on Main St, are about the same. Wake up, drink coffee, check email, facebook, my darling wakes up, get ready for work (if I work that day) read, sew, crochet while watching a movie during lunch... about the same. Just different work hours now.
 I'm not going to complain about work, lack of, or too much. I'm content where I am right now. Yes there is always that deep down secret, not so secret, wish of having more money to get a bigger place and setting up a savings account for future little ones when they come around, but for now I'm content. Nothing wrong with that. We are happy, we have food, bills and rent are getting paid, so no worries. God will provide.
 Well my friend(s) it was nice Chatting with you. Until we meet again,
Many Blessings.

Spring Challenge! WEEK 1!!

(UPDATE!)

 Today is the first day of Spring! WOO-HOO!!!

That also means today is the first day of my Spring Challenge of  ~*NO~PANTS~SPRING*~.
So I will start this post of what I'm wearing today,

Leggings, thick socks, Long Denim Skirt, Green Long Sleeve, Boots, and a warm Jacket to protect me from the chilly wind on my way to work. :)

 And a little pattern I found on how to make your own dress,

D.I.Y. Pinterest

 And a pattern I found on how to make your own skirt for this seasons challenge!

D.I.Y. Pinterest

 Good Luck to you, and enjoy.

(and trust me, if you lived in jeans all winter and all of a sudden start wearing skirts and dresses, everyone will think you are going out on a Hot Date, also, if it's still cold where you are I would recommend long skirts and dresses and leggings til the sun gets hotter.)

*Update...*

I will keep adding pictures to this post instead of one post a day with just a picture of an outfit. I will do the posts in weeks. So at the end of this week I will upload the pictures I have taken and add some more patterns for you, then next week I will start a second week post, and add pictures daily to that one for a week then continue in that pattern til the first day of summer! So much easier. :) 


Blessings,
