On Sunday as we were pulling out for church we noticed a manila envelope on the doorstep. I ran up to get it before pulling away. It was official business all the way from Delaware!!
Inside was the documents with my nomination and naming of Mother of the Year!
The nomination letter is as follows:
The nomination letter is as follows:"Dear Selection Comittee,
If you are on nationwide search for a Mother of the year (you can never be sure if Mrs. Moedl is telling the truth.) I believe my mom should take the prize for a few reasons. The first is she is very helpful. Second is that she is very artistic. Third is that she is a great cook.
My mom helps me a lot, a lot, alot and alot. Earlier this year I had alot of trouble with division. My mom sat me down and for about 30 min my mom made sure I got it. The next day at school I completed a two page division problem.
My mom is very artistic and helps me do my "amazing artwork". In high school she not only made some of her own canvas. She painted a sweet design on it. It is on our wall at home and we enjoy pointing to shapes and saying animal, person or logo they are.
My last reason is that she is a great cook. She makes the most delicous stuff. It usally is healthy. What makes it so good is that she tweaks it. She just puts in what she wants.
That is why my mom should win this contest. She is helpful, shes artistic, and is a good cook."

Thanks, Chandler, you are the sweetest! And thanks to Mrs. Moedl for providing such a fun writing assignment!
And that leads me to a note. I decided to start a little cooking blog--only for me to record the recipes I try, the outcomes and my notes for next time. I also thought I would enjoy a record of my cooking life right now--as I'm sure it will change in the future as children leave etc. After I made a few posts, I decided that it will be an excellent resource for my leaving-home children to have access to the recipes I use and my notes on recipes. Perhaps some of you might benefit also. It may seem oddly organized (many recipes in one post etc.) but since the original idea for the blog was more of a record of "What we ate", I'm sticking with it at least for now. But hopefully the labels will make it more user friendly if you are so inclined.

So sweet!
Also, I love your cooking blog. I'm always on the search for new things to make (besides reservations), so will definitely be a regular visitor. Thanks so much!

What a sweet boy. And I'm pretty sure you should be getting one of these awards every year.
I'm excited to check out your cooking blog! I need some motivation so we stop eating the same meals every week. :)
