Winner Winner, Chicken (Soup) Dinner! (and my DIY Failure)

*hangs head in shame* My DIY chalkboard didn't turn out as planned....

Tiny Alaskan husky puppy is very sorry Funny pictures


I think it was too windy for spray painting or something...not really sure.  I used an old photo frame and basically ended up putting a cute pic of my niece in to salvage the project. All was not lost.  She is probably cuter than my project wouldn't have been anyways!

Tonight I'm trying Chicken and Rice soup, recipe compliments of my brother's pinterest account. (yes, dudes can have pinterest accounts, too.)  I haven't tried it yet, but it smells aaaamazing and was pretty simple to throw together! I did it on my lunch and threw everything in the crockpot.

Original recipe from twopeasintheirpod.com.  There are some other really great recipes on the site too-easy and pretty healthy.  Check it out!
