Job Interview..

Haven't had a job since the beginning of my pregnancy last year. I was just browsing the internet couple of days ago and came across of a job listing at a local hospital for a Registrar position. I thought "hey, why not?" and went for it. Received a call this morning from Megan, the supervisor, and told me details about the job, explaining the hours and so forth.

I'm torn. Torn about leaving LO for a couple of hours in someone elses care and working. I do not have to work. We live comfortably right now. I have the weekend to think it over. Discuss it with my husband and friends. We shall see!


Whoohoo!

First post from my Android app for blogger. Way cool! That is all. :-)



10:00 am and where is Olivia?!

As I tend to fix up my blog, I keep looking at the clock on the computer and listen to the baby monitor. I don't hear a single peep. It's 10:00 a.m. What is going on here?! So of course, being the mom I am, I check on her and she is still sound asleep. She's been asleep since 8:00pm last night! Is she sick?! Does she love her sleep like her mama and daddy?! Ahh..

*sips coffee*

Well, I guess I can enjoy this "me" time for a little while. Read up on some news, daily gossip, e-mails, freebies, facebook of course, just the usual until sleepy head decides to wake up.

Agenda today? I have laundry to do and am wanting to bake some cookies. Dusten has his technology club weekly meeting tonight so he'll be home later than usual. Dinner tonight will be my yummy chicken french fried casserole. Delicious! Recipe? Sure!

4 pieces of Chicken Breast, cooked and cut to bite size pieces
2 Cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup
3lbs of Crinkle French Fries
1 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of paprika
1 tablespoon of onion powder
1/2 can of French's French Fried Onion

Heat oven to 420 degrees
Mix Cream of Mushroom Soup and milk in large baking dish
Scatter chicken breast on top of mushroom soup/milk mixture
Scatter the french fries on top
Mix combo together well
Sprinkle the garlic, papreika and onion powder on top.
Cook for 1 hr and 15 minutes

Voila!

:o) Have a good morning, ya'll!

We love mailtime!

We got a knock on the door from the postal man! He brought us a big brown box and on the top said "Pampers Gifts to Grow!" I was so excited knowing that Olivia's birthday present from "Pampers" came! I am bad at keeping gifts a secret so of course I had to open it, pop in batteries and let my little one enjoy it. I saved up 1850 points from Pampers products to get this gift. She absolutely loved it! Thing is, it is for 18 months + and on the package it said "not intended for under 18 monthers. I wonder why that is? Maybe because she could bang up on the keys and break it? Nonetheless, here is what she got!


The Henderson Family!

So I figured I should post a couple of pictures of us. Mainly of our beautiful girl :o)





Welcome!

Hello :)

I have decided to start a blog. Mainly because my sanity is slowly dripping away, hopefully writing my feelings, what I do at home and etc will keep my spirits up! A little background to begin!

I'm Sarah. 22 years old and a mother of a beautiful baby girl, Olivia Grace, whom will be 1 years old on the 20th of next month (October!). I'm also a happily-married woman to Dusten, 24 years old, and we currently live in a rental house in Manor, Texas (15 miles outside of Austin.) We moved from an apartment in the middle of the city to a 3,000 sq foot house in the middle of nowhere! I am still adapting and getting used to it.

I am a stay at home mother and my husband works at a charter school as an I.T. Specialist. He takes our only car so I am car-less during the day. It's hard to try to find activities to do with Olivia, especially since most of the time it is a scorcher outside. When she naps or plays independently, I try to find different activities online or blogs to help, even couponing and finding freebies! A couple of my favorite freebie websites are

Hip2Save Freebies

Money Saving Mom Freebies

Of course, I enjoy Groupon and LivingSocial. My husband and I actually tried a sushi place downtown Austin a couple of weekends ago because I have purchased a $15 for $30 worth of food and in the end with all of the extras we had, we ended up paying an extra 20 out of pocket. Not too bad for some good sushi in the heart of downtown Austin!

I will be posting a couple of activities daily that my daughter and I do, and possibly some rants and raves and many praises!

Right now, Olivia won't take a nap in her crib. Fussing away. Have a good day, ya'll!
