Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

 

 Hi Friends!  I am posting Hodgepodge a day early so I can do What's Up Wednesday tomorrow...so today, I am here for Joyce's fun linkup!  Let's answer her questions...

 

 

1. Do you feel like you have a 'full plate' at the moment? In what way? 

 

 

 

Yes!  Managing the household...managing the college process for Diana...working two jobs...volunteering...socializing with family and friends...I would say my plate is overflowing :) 

 

 

 

2. How did you learn to cook? If you have children did you teach or encourage them to cook? Do you like to follow a recipe or is your cooking style more 'let's wing it'.  

 

By watching my mom and later on, watching cooking shows...love Food Network...sometimes even grabbed magazines with recipes...in recent years, it has been all about Pinterest!  I have sooo many recipes pinned

 

 I like using recipes as guidelines...not following them perfectly...my girls have watched me but haven't slowed down enough to truly learn...I hope they eventually want to and do!

 

3. Last time you bit off more than you could chew? Elaborate. 

 

I would say volunteering or actually being "voluntold" to take on the role of Cheer Mom this year (I share the role with my friend Danielle)...it has been fun, don't get me wrong...but it was a lot during September/Blackout Month.

 

 

4. When did you last say 'the more the merrier' and mean it? 

 

As I was planning our Thanksgiving Eve guest list..."the more the merrier" has turned into about 100 people- ha! 

 

 

5. Write an acrostic using the word T-H-A-N-K-S.
