All Grown Up... Sort Of...

Max was born in August 2011...

That is 15 months ago now...

Yet it seems like so much longer and so much shorter at the same time. He has already started to walk, he has had is first hair cut, he has said his first words, gotten his first tooth and has stolen the heart of everyone he has met.

It hurts my heart a little that he is 15 months old, it makes my heart smile a little too though because, well how lucky am I to be the one and only Momma this boy will ever have...

He seems so grown up and yet I know that there are so many things he is yet to experience and while I know I haven't done everything "right" I know that I am here and I love him and that will shape him into the man he will be...

Make It Monday! Pizza Casserole!

Your on Pinterest right.... Of course you are!

Well if your not following Momma Made It! pop over now and click the little follow button.... I'll make it worth your while!

Anyway....

If your on Pinterest you may have seen this recipe floating around over there and if you haven't here you go... your welcome! (see already worth your while!)

So I Pinned that Pin a while ago and like most other things on Pinterest I said yeah I'll go back to that and actually make it... except I DID!

And here is how it turned out!

I know right YUMMY!

Both the kids loved it and the hubby well it was Pizza in a bowl what can I say!

I did make a few adjustments to it as I used spiral pasta instead of the bow ties like the recipe says, and I didn't add the ham or the onion due to some picky eaters in our house... oh and I used the all natural peperoni you can buy at the deli (which is why the peperoni on mine is little wedges, it only comes in the lager slices so I just quartered them...)

So if you think this looks yummy stop drooling at the screen and hop on over to Cully's Kitchen and check out this awesome recipe that your family will love! (PS there will be left overs!)


Do you have a family favorite that I NEED to Pin? Leave me a link in the comments and I will be by to check it out ASAP!
Happy Monday Friends!

Photo Friday! First Family Trip in the Boat!

Robyn's Grandfather has a boat its a nice boat but in the almost 10 years we have been together I have flat out refused to get into the boat as well I am afraid... ok not so much afraid of the boat more so afraid of 1) Throwing up in the boat and B) Drowning... both very rational if you ask me...

Either way if you ask any mother can the kids go in the boat and she says yes you better bet your behind that no matter how afraid she is she will be going with you because 1) She will refuse for her children to do something for the first time without her there if she can help it and B) Her children will not drown without her...

So on our last rip out to visit Robyn's family we went for a trip in the boat and it was FABULOUS!

So for this Photo Friday I have just a few of the 170 photos that I did take! Enjoy!

 

Well as you can tell neither of us drowned and even better I didn't throw up either!
Happy Friday Friends!

Tell The Truth Thursday! Why I'm Ok not making money blogging...

So as you may see here on the blog or rather you DON'T see here on the blog I don't have ads, I don't do sponsored posts, I don't sell anything really....

And well, I'm ok with that

I do consider blogging my job and the reason I do is because without blogging and crafting and connecting with you fine people on the internet I don't get out much....

Can you tell?!?!

Either way I consider blogging my job because it makes me take time out to make the blog better, to research for my projects, to make something productive about my day... and well that is how I keep up with the blog (or in recent days not keep up with it...) I make myself make time for it because it helps me keep my sanity as a Momma. And since my other job is being a good Momma my sanity is kinda important if ya know what I mean...

Now don't get me wrong I am not saying that sponsored posts are bad, not even thinking that selling ad space is evil or that selling your product is some crazy offense... to be honest that's just not how I want to run my blog right now...

Will that change in the future?

TRUTH... I don't know.

Would I say no to a few extra bucks kicking around... NO! Who would, but lets be honest here I'm just not at that point with this blog that I want to sell anything, my time, my space, even my opinion... and that is just what works for me.

Whats your blogging TRUTH? Are you making money on your blog? Is that what you set out to do or is it just how your blog evolved? I'd love to hear your story... share it in the comments!
