Holiday SeasonHoliday Season

The Holidays are among us and we all are busy with shopping , cleaning, wrapping and planning dinner. I know that each year around this time is one of the hardest times I have to go thru. I lost my mom just before Christmas and her birthday and it has been hard ever since. I know people tell me it will get easier and I don’t see how. The one person I could talk to about anything was my mom and now I don’t have that. I know that I have friends and other family members I can talk to but my mom was different. She loved me for me and it didn’t matter what was going on in our life. She always tries and makes Christmas the best for all of us. I still have the present that I got her that year. I know one year it will be easy for me to get thru the holidays but I am not sure when that will be.

It is never easy being down for the holidays, but I try and put on a brave face and get thru it. Sometimes the ones that are supposed to be there for you, don’t listen and make things harder to handle. I know that I will be fine and get thru the holiday season again, but just remember when you see someone don’t judge them you don’t know what they are going thru.

I want to wish everyone that has followed me and went on this year-long journey with me. I will continue next year where I know I will have challenges that will have to deal with. I know that I will get thru them with help from others and myself.

One day it would be nice to get a prayer answered once, but it will happen when you least expect it.

HobbiesHobbies

What are some of your hobbies that you do everyday, every week or every year?

Hobbies are activities done regularly in ones leisure time for pleasure. Any activity you enjoy doing in your spare time. Some activities conducted in your spare time are for recreation or pleasure.

I know that I have a few hobbies I do regularly, like baking, reading , listening to either music or a podcast. I have others that I do like cooking, crafting, gardening, watching movies or shows. There are some hobbies I like to learn as wells like learning a new language, canning, or photography.

I know that everyone has their own reason for some of their hobbies. I know that each one that I do helps me in a different way. When I think about a new hobby I look into it and make sure it is something that I could do or have the time to learn. Just remember you have your reason for the hobbies you do and you never have to explain why to anyone.

Please if you have the time let me know what fun hobbies you do and maybe we could learn something new together.

CookbooksCookbooks

These past few weeks, I have been going thru my cookbooks and finding new dishes to try. I have made a couple of goodies. It has been a long process to find recipes to try. I have been posting some of them. I hope others try to make them. I won’t post if I don’t like it. I would let you know if I change it. There are things I can have or I make it smaller cause I only cook for 2 or 3 people. I don’t like a lot of leftovers.

After I been thru the cookbook I am planning on selling them. I will post on different sites. I want others to be able to get out of them as I did. I write down the ones that I want to pass along to my kids.

My grandma did the same thing and I got a lot of them, it’s hard to read a lot of them but it is fun to look thru the books and notebooks full of recipes.

I just want to let everyone know that each week I will be posting recipes for others to try.

Enjoy

Getting through the day?Getting through the day?

I am sorry it has been a couple of weeks. I have a few things going on in my life that I need to take care of. This last week I did meet a couple of nice people during a craft sale I was doing. It is amazing to me the people I meet. You really never know what someone is going through until you talk to them and start to understand other lives. I know that I live with some health issues no one knows unless I talk to them. I can always talk about my chickens and dogs. They are my life and I am not sure I would get through some days without them.

I know when I am baking for these shows I listen to podcasts which are great. I mostly listen to true crime but there are ones that they interview others that have stories to tell. It helps me focus on something else that I am doing. I always make a plan of what I am going to make and each day what my goal is.

I do have those bad days that I just want to just not want to talk to anyone. It is easy to feel like that on some of the days. I do have people that care and check in with me to make sure I am doing fine. Please remember this you don’t know what someone else going through at any give time unless you talk to them or walked in their shoes.

Thank you again

OlafOlaf

Let me tell you about me little girl. We just got her fixed and so this week has been a long already. She can’t play with her brothers and it hard to keep her from wanting to play. Olaf has a few more days for healing. Plus this weekend she will be at raspberry fest with us.

We had our refrigerator go out this past week to, so we had to change how much stuff we have in the house. So it been hard with Olaf and having to try and use what I need to out of the cooler and my chest freezer.

So if you ever think days go by smooth, think again. I did order a new refrigerator but won’t get it for a month because it has to be made. So I trying to use stuff so we can fit everything in a mini refrigerator. Plus we got another chest freezer so I have more room to put dog treats a d baked goodies.

Hope everyone summer is going good and everyone is staying cool.

Baking and writingBaking and writing

Well I have been baking a lot these days, plus start writing. It has been fun writing about things that I do in my life. I know that I have the support I need to write. The Baking I have been doing is a lot. Dog treats for our up coming show and I also baked for a funeral gathering which went over nice. I have been trying to make new things too. The weather it been to hot to be out there, so me and the dogs stay in and watch movies when I am not baking.

It been different to watch the Hallmark channel which has Christmas movies in July. There has been a lot going on and I am trying to get back everything that I was doing. I think that I was in a slum and I needed to take a few steps back look at my life and what is important. So I hope my fan of this blog come back because you are going to stay reading about many different things each week. I am getting things in order and finding out what works.

I want to help others and let other know what is helping me get thru the tough times.

Talk later

MeMe

Well I wanted to make a post about me. I been busy this last few weeks with different things. My daughter and I have started to take the business and make a run of it this year so between baking and make new things for the business it kept me busy. I am so happy to do this with my daughter and why we started it to begin with. When we began this business it was about my dogs and I will do anything for them. We have made new products and toys.

Now this year has just began with craft show and a Facebook page. We are doing what we can to make a business. I know I don’t want a store or bakery, I enjoy doing it out of my home and as a hobby. When hou do something you love and get to wake up each day and it don’t seem like a job then it what you were meant to be doing.

For the first time I think m that I have gotten there and I enjoy what I do. Plus I get to hang out with my dogs everyday and make sure they get the best. Please visit us on Facebook at Angel`s baked goods. Plus you can see where we are and what we have to offer.

Thanks everyone for letting me do this and take care of my dogs.
