Although I was southern-raised I don’t ever remember trying fried chicken gizzards until I moved to Florida and my brother brought home a few from the local gas station… I was hooked and needed more! I never thought about making them myself as it was easy enough to run to the gas station for a quick treat until it wasn’t.
I desperately craved these during my last three pregnancies… I might’ve been craving them before just not knowing what it was that I was craving. With Shyanne it was harder to get them because of COVID and I was so sick for most of the pregnancy that trying to make them myself was out of the question!
Fast forward to this past week when what did my little eye spy when cleaning out the fridge? Chicken gizzards! How they got there I have no clue but then the next day there were more… I think someone was trying to send me some hints.

This is probably not a hack but more of a little tip to keep those laundry piles from getting out of control or to help get them back under control if they get a little crazy. I’ve seen some crazy laundry piles and they weren’t pretty. Thankfully we haven’t had those and if we have it’s been so long that I can’t remember.
The easiest way to tackle a mountain of dirty clothes is to just get them washed! Don’t worry about sorting or any of that nonsense… just fill the washer, add some soap, and wash. Granted there may be some items that don’t come out looking as good as they should but drastic circumstances call for drastic measures sometimes.

Most of the clothes that we choose to keep around are the kind that can withstand anything… and if they do get messed up the kids can just use them as play clothes or we can use ours for days when we have some messy projects to tackle.

It’s crazy sock day!!! I don’t have on my crazy socks but I am rocking my #downsyndromeawareness shirt! Most of the kiddos have on some crazy socks to show their support for their extra special siblings and the other extra special people who were gifted with an extra chromosome.
I’ll admit that when we first got the news it was unexpected and I was upset, terrified, and a bit nervous but we had previously been told that what they expected she had would be incompatible with life.

I had this salad many years ago at a special dinner I attended and I have LOVED it ever since. Some of my family doesn’t really care for some of the ingredients but that doesn’t stop me as I could eat as much as I make by myself and not feel bad at all.
This is so good and it’s the perfect side for a Grilled Steak with Gorgonzola pasta on Valentine’s Day or a special meal! It would probably be amazing if you topped it with some grilled chicken as well!
