The 31 Day Photo & Prompt Challenge

So...I figured I needed something else fun to do. I've seen this 31 day photo challenge on Facebook and decided to do a little research! Here is how it goes:

The 31 Day Photo & Prompt Challenge If you are on Facebook, you may have noticed that some people are taking part in the “30 Day Challenge.” I love things that like that, but I’d never have room to get my thoughts out on Facebook, so I’m going a different route. Every day during March, I’ll post a prompt and answer it either with a photo, a story, or both. I’ll also add a linky, so we can all get to know each other better. Some of the prompts are straight from the Facebook challenge, but some have been changed.

Sorry...again...sorry, sorry, sorry...

Hey all! As most of you know...I haven't posted anything here for a really, really, really, really long time. I'm really sorry, but as you know...my new years resolution...well...it didn't even last the whole month of January. Dude...well...I guess I shouldn't have made blogging daily my resolution b/c after a while...I was just posting things...to post something. I don't know how some people do it!? If you have the answer to the secret...please let me know! How do you get something meaningful blogged every single day...OR even once a week at that!!!???

Anyway, the main reason I'm posting a message here tonight...this morning is for a few prayer requests. I know I'm always asking from the few that read my blog, but I'm hoping that my prayer requests will be spread about through the few that read my little bloggy thing here.

#1) Please pray for a nurse friend of mine from my old stomping grounds. I found out tonight that she has brain cancer. I'm not sure of the details, but I heard it was a stage 4 brain cancer. I'm sure you all might not know exactly what that means, but it is NEVER a good thing. For a nurse...doctor...or a patient to hear stage 4...it is time to do some hard core praying b/c sometimes...most of the time that is what you are going to need.

When you are diagnosed with cancer...that is only the beginning...once the doctors diagnosis it they stage it...and that essentially tells you how bad it is. I'm not going to bore you with nurse talk...but google it and you will get a better idea. Stage 4 is the last stage. So sad...my heart aches for this woman and her family! She is young and has young children. There is more and more and more of this happening, but it makes me shed tears every time I hear about it!

#2) I follow a huge slew of blogs from women/men I don't really know, but their life expierences tie them to me. I found out this week that a young couple lost their little four month old last week. She stopped breathing at her babysitter's house. This little baby angel was a perfectly healthy little one. The details are VERY unknown at this time, but please pray for this couple and their strength as a family. There is nothing more difficult than loosing a child...especially your first child! I don't have experience with it, and I pray to God I NEVER WILL.

Anyway, I need to get to bed. My head, eyes, and heart feel to heavy to stay awake much longer. God bless you all!!!

Pop Up Pancakes!!!

As you can probably guess...I LOVE BREAKFAST FOOD! Here is another awesome take on pancakes!!! This is not my recipe, but it was fetured on "Make and Take". Sorry...I kinda cheated and copied and pasted for you all. I just didn't want to mess it up...and seriously...I need to get to the store. This is an easy way for me to look up the recipe when I'm at the store. Enjoy!!!
Pop Up Pancake Recipe – makes 24 muffins or fills a 9×13 baking pan

1 cup milk
1 cup flour
6 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
dash salt
Preheat oven to 400* and grease your muffin tins
1. I like to mix all the ingredients in my blender. I have tried to whisk it or even use my small electric mixer, but a blender seems to do the best job getting it smooth.2. Pour the mix into your greased muffin tins. Or your baking pan.3. Bake them for 15 minutes in a 400* oven, or until puffy and golden on top. Use a knife to pop or pry them out, hopefully they were greased well enough and should pop right out. They puffiness will die down as they cool, and they become more like a cup.
Now they are ready for toppings. I love syrup, powdered sugar, and fruit. You could even use fresh Strawberry Jam. We usually load it all on and dive in. What do you use to top your pancakes with? Maybe peanut butter or honey?Featured at Make and Takes
