My Daisy Nomination...

 Today was The Daisy Award Ceremony at my hospital. I was lucky enough to be one of five nominated for this extra special award for nurses. I work in Trauma ICU and 3 of the nominees were from my unit!!! That alone must be saying something extraordinary about our unit, and I am very honored to be a part of it... 

Congratulations Eileen on being The Daisy Award winner!!! You are a fabulous nurse and an incredible caring person...

Things I Need To Do...

Those of you that know me, and or follow this blog, know that I have two girls (Lindsey and Lauren, but I usually call her Olivia. That is her middle name). You also know that I am a huge procrastinator.  Something I am not very proud of, but I seem not to be able to fix this flaw. So I'm going to embrace it from now on...
The girls have given me little sewing projects that I keep stacking up!!! So today, I decided I would surprise them by fixing, mending and sewing for them...
Two of the projects are from Lindsey... She found this cute little sundress with some stitches missing. No big deal. Then she found a little black top with lace. Within the lace of course there is a hole. How she found the hole, I have no idea. It's in the back of the top, and she has very long hair. This task I am not looking forward to... 

Back in the summer, Olivia and I went to Jo~Ann Fabrics. What a fun store!!!  Anyway... she had picked out a cute pattern and linen fabric to make a skirt for school. Yes, I do know that was six months ago!!! I'm not proud of that, but I'm sewing today. Yay me!!!

Hope you have a fun day!!! You know what I'm going to be doing...

Golden Chicken Tenders...

I was looking on the internet last night. For a fast and super easy recipe for chicken tenderloins. You know...the kind of recipe you put in the oven and forget about it, until the timer goes off, and this is what I came up with. It's very easy and the chicken was really moist and tender... 

Ingredients...

• 1 package boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
• 1 cup crushed Stove Top chicken stuffing mix, dry
• 4-5 tablespoons melted butter

Directions...

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Rinse and pat dry the chicken and place in the baking dish.
3. Sprinkle the stuffing on top of the chicken tenders.
4. Drizzle melted butter over top of the stuffing.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, uncovered.  

It's definitely not a fancy dish, but was a big hit with picky children...

For The Love of Vintage Stamps...

This was my first day off after a long stretch of 12 hour shifts, so I was treating myself to a morning of do~nothing but stay in my cozy pj's, enjoy two cups of pumpkin spice coffee, and read all of my favorite blogs. I would worry about the laundry, cleaning, bathing of dogs and errands later. Better yet, there is always tomorrow...
While going from blog to blog I stumbled across an Etsy shop called, Verde Studio. The owners name is Virginia and she is very sweet and helpful.

 

What a fabulous way to personalize any invitation or card. Of course... I had to order a few of these and can't wait for them to get here!!!
