Chicken Tacos

Last night's dinner was a hit~ It was time for a fridge clean out, and chicken tacos were thrown together in no time!

These chicken tacos had an added crunch to them - which made them extra delicious!

Chicken Tacos
(with a little crunch)

Ingredients:

Flour Tortilla Shells

Perdue's [already seasoned] Southwest Chicken Strips

Shredded Cheese (I always go for sharp cheddar.)

Steamfresh's Bag of Wild Grain Rice, Peas, Carrots, and Corn (I added a little extra [white] rice to the mix.)

Spring Mix  (spinach leaves, etc.)

Fresh Tomatoes

Ranch Dressing

Crushed Tostitoes (This is the crunchy part I mentioned - Mmmm!)

Around here, we make these types of things a lot - They are easy. They are delicious. They satisfy my constant craving for Mexican food (pregnant or not, these cravings are there). However, something about this particular mix of yumminess just tasted so good! I think it had something to do with the ranch dressing flavor mixed with the crunch.

Avocado on these next time? Yes, please!

Did Someone Say Moving Was Fun?

Hello, friends!

We are up to our eyeballs in moving boxes, packaging tape, and oddly-shaped random items that I have no idea how to fit in a normal-size box. Have I mentioned that I hate moving? My mom says she would rather have a baby than move. Uhhhh, moving is not THAT terrifyingly traumatic for me, but it does come in at second place.

What a lesson in contentment it has be for me to sit with piles of boxes/large pieces of furniture/etc. around me for months! Yes, I said months! I have literally almost lost.my.mind. If you know me personally, have you seen it in my eyes? I have truly almost lost what marbles I have left, and I can.not.wait to get moved, unpacked, and settled in a much better size space for our growing family. We are days away from this reality, folks. [Except for the fact that it will take me months to get my pictures on the wall - I always tell myself this is completely normal.]

My living arrangements have been temporary situations for oh, going on about 10 years now!

Enough is enough~

Watch us get transferred in 9 months and have to move out of state....wouldn't that be hilarious?

I am not laughing.

Are You Desperate? I've Been There, Too!

I recently mentioned that I was planning to read "Desperate" by Sarah Mae and Sally Clarkson! 

I am - right now - in the midst of delving in to this book, and I can.not.even.begin. to tell you what an encouragement it is!

It is exactly what I have been needing, and I hope you will pick up a copy for yourself as well as any other mom you know!

Mae and Clarkson encourage moms to GET HELP! In a recent post, I explained that I had finally come to a place where I am no longer hesitant to ask for help. I am no longer ashamed to ask for help. In fact, I now understand that it is normal and healthy to reach out for assistance where you need it.

As a mom who doesn't have any family in town, I reached a point where I was tired of trying to do everything on my own and hold it all together. It's impossible. Why? Because we were designed to need not only God's help, but the physical "skin-on" assistance of real.live.people! This is going to mean different things for different moms/families - So, I encourage you to find what it means for you.

So many from the older generation will say, "Well, I never had any help." It's as if they are blowing off your feelings and saying, "Good luck, honey! You're on your own." How sad! How much we need the wisdom, experience, and hands-on assistance from seasoned moms. How much we we need the encouragement and company of other moms walking through the same days as us. You may prefer large gatherings of women or smaller, more intimate settings. Either way - it's all about what works for you and how you can best encourage other people as well.

Best wishes, sweet fellow-moms.

You are not alone.
