Today I am thankful for....
My husband. He works so hard to provide a good life for us. A life where I am able to stay home and be a great mother (try) for my kids.

Compare Prices at Home....
I recently became aware of a fairly new website called Pebble.com which makes finding a product and price shopping a whole lot easier. You simply type in what you're looking for and it brings up a list of stores that carry that product along with the price. For example, one of the hot news toys is the Zhu-Zhu Hampsters (you just watch people are starting to fight over them!) typing Zhu Zhu will brought up this. I typed in my mineral foundation and was able to find it for less than half what I've been paying.
What's great about Pebble.com is it's a search-based online shopping comparison site that has a Q&A forum integrated in each product results page so users can ask other users questions about a particular product and get an answer right away. Most consumers make purchase decisions without getting all the information they need, which is a huge detriment in our current economy. But with Pebble.com users can get all the information they need to buy products and shop for the lowest prices online.
Check them out the next time you're searching for something and it will help you find the best deal available online.

Green Bananas
With a recent produce co-op I received what I thought were bananas that were just not quite ripe. I wanted over a week and they were still green. Some friends on Pinching Your Pennies were discussing these bananas.
After a bit of research I found that they are "Green Bananas" They will not turn yellow. I cut one open (the skin is very thick) and tasted the raw fruit and it was not good! But after my research I knew it wouldn't taste good -- YET.
I sliced the bananas thin and cooked them in a couple tablespoons of olive oil and then I just started experimenting with flavors. I ended up seasoning them with just bit of salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, garlic, honey, and a splash of Tabasco.... YUMMY!!
They turned out pretty good. I have never had anything like it before, but I know what I will do next time I get non-traditional bananas.
This is another reason that I love getting produce from co-ops. Sometimes you get things that you may not have tried otherwise and they end up being something that you really like!

Fresh Peach Muffins
Tonight I made these muffins they are YUMMY!! The batter seemed pretty greasy but they came out good. I used 2 large peaches and I also used olive oil because I was out of canola oil.
I tried these muffins at my friend Delaney's house and g otthis recipe on Real Mom Kitchen.
Peach Muffins
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups white sugar
2 cups peeled, pitted, and chopped peaches
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F Lightly grease 18 muffin cups. (I used muffin liners)
In a large bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the oil, eggs, and sugar. Stir the oil mixture into the flour mixture just until moist. Fold in the peaches. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Get an energy boost....
For the past couple of weeks I have been using a great energy drink. It gives you non-jittery energy - that's subtle but lasts all day! It's all natural and only has 35 calories. It boosts your metabolism and helps control appetite. Here is some product information.
Not only is this a great drink but also a great money making opportunity. When I started drinking it I honestly had no intentions of selling it -- but it is such a great product that I want to pass along the opportunity to others!
Do you want a free sample? What about a 15-day sample? If you live near me I can get you a packet to try (a packet is 2 servings). BUT if you want to get the 15 day sample go HERE and order - there is a $4.95 shipping fee but it is totally worth it! What happens is when you order the 15 day sample you are signed up to be a rep. But there is no pressure! So you can decide if you want to keep getting the product for yourself, sell it and make extra money, or cancel at any time!
Give it a try!

Busy Busy Busy Days!
The past couple of weeks have been CRAZY busy for KaysvilleMomma!
My baby turned 4, we went on a weekend trip, school started (a few weeks ago) not without a bit of drama, photography-photography-photography, planning an activity for the Primary kids in our ward, and few visits to the doctor for the little guy! Oh yeah and I have been a CANNING MACHINE!
Yes my little man is 4! I can't believe how quickly time flies. He is such a fun little guy. He is full of energy! TOO MUCH ENERGY sometimes. We had felt as though he had a problem with ADHD and after a trip to the pediatrician and a psychologist it has been confirmed. This means that we at least now have a direct to go in being better parents and helping him continue to grow into the great kids that we know he is.
The Princess started 1st grade -- and like I said there was a bit of drama! We had started out doing homeschool this year. We thought it was what was best for her. After 2 days (yes I know that's not long) we decided that it would be better for all of us if she went to the public school. She told us that she wanted mommy to be her mommy not her teacher. She loves school and she tells me VERY frequently that she doesn't like homeschool. With her new adventure into the 1st grade she has also developed an interest in Hanna Montana - dang - we held that one off as long as we could.
Last weekend we had a fun trip to St. George. The fireman had to go give a test to the St George Fire Department. It was fun to get away. The princess asked us to get the Hanna Montana movie from Redbox -- and now the little man has decided that he too likes Hanna Montana. Oh yes --- and he likes waitresses - we were at the Pizza Factory and everytime the server came to our table he started yelling at her, "Name? Name? Hey, Name?" He never go her name....
Me, I have been trying to keep it all together! I have done SEVERAL photo shoots, including a wedding yesterday. I have also been doing LOTS of canning. I have canned 33 jars of salsa, 18 dill pickles, 8 sweet dills, 9 relish, and 12 chili sauce. I have some SUPER yummy Sweet Pickles doing their thing in a big jar for 6 more days before they are ready to be canned. I have also made strawberry and also Raspberry/Peach freezer jam.
CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
