I have had some issues with the blog lately and haven’t been able to figure them out… until now? This is a test post to see if I can get things going again!

Ultimate Blog Party 2010!
I’m going to use this opportunity to say I’m back! For the past three months I’ve felt down in the dumps and unmotivated. One thing happened in January and it just kind of snowballed. I’m trying some amino acids from the health food store – I think it’s a combination of that and the beautiful weather that we’ve had lately here in southeast Iowa that’s helping. Things are looking up and I’m happy 
If you’re a subscriber or frequent visitor, thank you for sticking around! I really appreciate it!
So to help with my “return,” I’m participating in 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party 2010! If you’re visiting from the UBP10, welcome! In short, I like to write about recipes, crafts, and home improvement and diy projects. Want to know more? Check out my about me page. If you’re interested in what I write about, subscribe via email or RSS feeder. Leave a comment and I’ll return the favor, I enjoy meeting new people and finding new blogs!
And to give some link love to the giveaway bloggers, these are the prizes I’m excited about!
- It would be great to have a laptop that is quiet and that I can travel with, so I’d love 5 Minutes for Mom’s Toshiba laptop giveaway!
- I enjoy essential oils and I’d like to try the Young Living Roll-On Stress Reliever from Oils for Wellness.
- I buy a lot of books off of Amazon so, The Product Review Place’s $25 gift card would be helpful!
- Other prizes I’m interested in include: US73, US74, US75, US87, US88, US112, USC8.
Anyway, go check out the blog party! Fun times!

Christmas Update!
Wow! I feel like my life has been lacking a little since I haven’t posted anything in over a week. I’ve had some problems losing photos on my camera and then D’s computer crashed on the 23rd, putting him on my computer up until the moment we left to see our families on the 24th. The snow and ice caused us to stay until the 26th, which is when Darren and I celebrated “our” Christmas together. The 27th was my 26th birthday! And today I am making a special anniversary wish to my parents who have been married 28 years today! Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve and I just found out that we’re having guests over! Whoo! So I’ll be more relaxed and have more time when the 1st rolls around 
I took photos for some recipes but with the losing photos/computer crash issues/holidays, but didn’t get them up immediately. The photos are up now. Hope you enjoy them!
