Recipes
Anyone else bored with their dinner menus? I am in a dinner rut and am in need of new recipes. I was wondering if anyone would like to share a few of their favorite recipes on the blog? Then we could all benefit from them:) I know my family will thank you too. I will post a few of our favorites also. Thanks girls!

Free desk
We have a corner computer desk that has been sitting in our garage for almost a year now and its up for grabs. We need to get rid of it asap because we are having laminate flooring put in this weekend and need to free up some space in our garage for them to move easily in and out. If nobody claims it by Thursday it's going to good will. Sorry I don't have a pic but if you are interested give me a call and you can come by to look at it.

Free gift
Several months back I posted on our blog about some FREE pearl earrings I had received from Helzberg Diamonds. They are pearl earrings, nothing fancy and only worth about $25 dollars but if anybody would like a pair they sent me another offer and it's up for grabs. There was absolutley no catch the last time we went. I handed them the card and they brought me the earrings. It was that easy. I'm not sure if I had to show ID but either way I can go with whoever wants them and pick them up. First one to comment can have them.
