How to Fake a Fancy Dinner

I am not a chef, baker, or anything fancy fabulous in the kitchen...however I am a foodie. I love trying tasty treats.

I also LOVE to try new recipes but I HATE to get a clean kitchen messy. {I think it's a serious sin} I blame this on my Mom. She never wanted me to help in the kitchen because I made messes; easily. 

During the week I like for my home to stay tidy so that means the least amount of mess in the kitchen is appreciated. I wish Mr. Moon liked cereal for dinner but he doesn't and he definitely expects a hot meal each night. {which he completely deserves} 

The recipe I'm going to share is not mine. I first heard of this pizza crust from a freezer meal class that I attended at a local Church. The pizza crust costs less than $1.00. I doubled the recipe because I have two hungry boys that LOVE semi homemade pizza.

This beautiful Mason Cash bowl is from Euna Mae's. I loved meeting Ms. Amy; her shop is seriously precious. I love,love,love that it's pink! 

The ingredients are nothing fancy and we add our own beef for hamburger. I realize this pizza is pretty plain; but oh so good on a busy night.

If you have a cutie assistant it definitely makes the job easier...except for the clean up.

Fancy Faith

This month I was asked by a sweet book club friend to join her in a Bible study. I was nervous to say the least but oh so excited at the same time. I am excited to further our friendship while studying God's Word for us.

I have a dear friend Nicole that is my prayer partner, we typically touch base a couple times a month for prayer requests too.

This is my first Bible study and I am so enjoying it. It's the second week and we are following along with Women Living Well and the study of Matthew.

{I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was the cutest idea}

I hate to admit this, but this is also really my first time sitting down with my Bible alone. 

I typically do a devotion but never open my Bible outside of reading in our Sunday School class. {awful I know} 

I know a new trend is Bible Journaling and what I think is so funny about it, is that my Great Grandma Marge was trendy {way before Pinterest} and used stickers and different colors in her Bible to mark special meanings and notes. The one special item of hers that I wanted when she passed away was her Bible. Most all of my memories include her cooking or studying her Bible. What a precious woman she was.

Fancy Weekend Away

This weekend we had so much fun celebrating Mr. Moon.

We had our first business trip since Jase joined Farm Bureau as an agent for our community. Our family is very excited for our future with Farm Bureau.

The conference was held in Branson Missouri, it was very nice to have a long weekend away.

Saturday morning Jason had meetings to attend so my family and I headed south to Arkansas to mark something off my bucket list. We went to Euna Maes. {oh my goodness this place was seriously Heaven on Earth} Amy was such a fabulous hostess. Her store was everything I had imagned and MORE. 

I was so excited to get a sweet little treat to bring home. I can't wait to make the boys lots of yummies with it. I asked Cole and Mr. Moon what I should make first and C said popcorn and m-n-m candies. {He typically get's his way-so I'm sure that will be the first treat made in the big ole LOVE bowl}

While we were in Arkansas I had the pleasure of meeting a sweet blog/Ig friend Ashley. She was so sweet. I just wish we had more time to chit chat. Hopefully we can make a run for Sonic drinks next time. : )

Farm Bureau is celebrating 100 years so the dinner theme was broken down into costumes featuring the last 100 years. We went as a *flapper*esque* couple.

{to know us is to love us and we are usually some sort of crazy...or atleast Mr. Moon is}

We are very fortunate that my parents  travel with us just to watch Cole while we go out to dinner, and functions. There is no way I could leave C all weekend so we definitely feel blessed that they travel along to provide care for our best boy. On Sunday morning we went to an amazing little diner. If you are in Branson I HIGHLY recommend it.

The pancakes and servings were absolutely ginormous but oh so yummy!
