Summer time is right around the corner and if you are looking for a new favorite recipe to take to cookouts and backyard parties, this just might be the thing you are looking for.  Everyone loves baked beans and these beans are so delicious and easy to put together.  Large meaty butter beans, bacon and kielbasa in a rich homemade sauce.  A great change from your usual baked beans made from small navy or great northern beans. This recipe came from my grandmother's friend Edith.  I knew her when I was a small girl but my family has been enjoying this recipe since before I was born.  Try this recipe for a potluck or just with your family.  I know you will enjoy it :) Ingredients: 3 (14 oz) cans butter beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 pound bacon, sliced, fried and drained 1 large onion, large dice 1 green bell pepper, large dice 1 jalapeno seeded and finely diced 1 (14 oz) can stewed tomatoes 3/4 cup ketchup 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 lb keilbasa sliced into 1/4 inch rounds

Here is my diaper stash!  GMD large cotton birdseye flats, Thirsties Duo Wrap covers and Blueberry Coverall covers. :)

Today is the day.  The Flats and Handwashing Challenge starts today. I really wanted to do this challenge last year but life was very overwhelming at the time.  I was a new mom with a 6 month old and although I was 6 months post partum I was still struggling to recover physically.  The idea of flats seems impossible. The whole idea of cloth diapers seemed impossible when I first started learning about them.  When you are pregnant or preparing for a baby there are several topics that can overwhelm you but cloth diapers is one of the biggest.  Seriously, I was more worried about cloth diapers than I was about breastfeeding (and both ended up working out well for us, thank God!)  I had read so much and watched so many videos about cloth diapers and I never felt like I was making any headway, I still felt so confused and had no idea where to start.  I watched one video which broke everything down in the simplest terms.  I am grateful for that video because it really helped things start to

Starting next Monday I will be participating in the Flats and Handwashing Challenge.  I will be documenting all throughout the week.  So be sure to stop by and hear me talk about poop and pee!  lol!
