Paper, pens, art supplies! Oh, the smell of a fresh box of crayons (the big crayola box with the built in sharpener, obviously! If you were starting back to school now (as an adult or as the child in your mind), what 10 things would you need to feel ready for success. 6 New art journal with pages already mostly pre...

http://nickalli.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Just me, just my life, just for fun! Thursday, August 14, 2014. I am definitely not Melanie Griffith, I'd probably be closer to Joan Cusack's character, but I did get a job! I decided a blog post would be the easiest way to let everyone in on the good news, and it's a pretty cool story. Brian is past his retirement requirement (say that 5 times fast! My first step was joining Jamberry nails as an independent consultant. I love their nail wraps and my nails haven't been naked since last fall! The very nex...

http://nickalli.blogspot.com/2014/02/chicken-in-crockpot.html
Just me, just my life, just for fun! Monday, February 3, 2014. Chicken in the Crockpot. My friends and I have been ordering boneless, skinless chicken breasts from Zycon foods for sometime now and we love them! Instead of adding another 10 bags of chicken to the shelves we are trying out some freezer crockpot meals. Most of them say to thaw for 24 hours before adding to the crockpot but I think it's mainly just to make getting the ingredients out a little less tricky. 1 small onion, diced. Combine in zip...

Just me, just my life, just for fun! Sunday, September 2, 2012. August was so busy with back to school at the beginning of the month, cub scouts starting back up, working on the PTA newsletter again, a new Sunday school curriculum to prepare for - I felt I didn't have much time to do a whole lot of artsy stuff.

Nick's Knacks: My Icelandic Souvenir
http://nickalli.blogspot.com/2013/06/my-icelandic-souvenir.html
Just me, just my life, just for fun! Saturday, June 15, 2013. The most important day of my life was the day I found out I was pregnant. I know most people may say the birth of their child is an important day, but that event was almost anti-climatic when compared to just one week earlier. You read that right, I found out I was pregnant one week. That had been happening for a couple of weeks now, I thought I just needed to use the restroom – but then nothing would happen. Once I was finally hooke...They we...

Just me, just my life, just for fun! Friday, May 23, 2014. Part of my summer that seems inevitable is the phrase "Mom, I'm hungry." Over and over and over and over. you get the picture. Now, I have a boy, he's nearly 11 years old and I get that filling him up takes some doing, but here is a conversation that takes place multiple times a day -. AJ: Mom, I'm hungry. Me: You just finished eating. AJ: I know, but I'm hungry. Me: What do you want? AJ: I don't know. What can I have. AJ: Can I have chips? Of co...
