Happy Mommy's Slap Yo Mama Chicken Wing Dip

Chicken Wing Dip
4 lg cans of white chicken meat
1 bottle of Texas Pete Chicken Wing Sauce
2 8oz containers of cream cheese
1 bottle of Blue Cheese dressing (the chunkier the better)
8 cubs of shredded cheddar cheese

Place all ingredients in the slow cooker and simmer until melted and bubbly and serve with corn chips!
* I sometimes add extra cheese and blue cheese as well as extra wing sauce from time to time.

Hurry run to the store, you must have this very comfort comforting dip!

A Baby Shower

Today we are celebrating my best friend Ruby Wife's baby! He will be coming soon, his due date is Oct 16. Dia, Ruby Wife's other best friend, and I are giving her a baby shower today, tonight actually. I am so excited for this new baby to enter our lives! One reason is that I want a baby so bad that I will get to sniff, hug and squeeze one very soon, and you just love your best friends kids it's a given, another reason is that Ruby Wife and her husband have been with us through the whole process of our vasectomy reversal and when we told them initially about the mistake we had made they were contemplating having one themselves, after hearing the heart break of our having a vasectomy and regretting it, they reconsidered, and God has blessed them with another child. I have always been very open about our reversal and I truly feel that for us it was a big mistake and I feel like many times people rush into a vasectomy with the stress of little children and regret it and if my and HD's story can help one family then I am glad to share.
We are going to play the "Don't say BABY" game in which ever woman gets a clothes pin and if she says BABY the clothes pin gets taken away by who ever hears it, the woman with the most clothes pins at the end of the night gets the prize. We are also playing a game where I printed the baby's name at the top of some pretty paper and we see how many different words we can come up with the woman with the most words wins. Ruby Wife was adamant NO wrapping Toilet paper around my large middle or I WILL KILL YOU, I think were her exact words.
Dia is in charge of Chicken salad sandwiches and cake. I am making Chicken Wing dip, BLT Dip a veggie tray and Reese Cup cookies.
I realize that I have yet to share my Chicken Wing Dip recipe with you, that is really a sad shame because it is so good, so warm and cheesy so so delicious.

The End.

Just kidding, but you will have to wait until tomorrow for my Chicken Wing Dip, only because I have to start school now. Did I tell you all that Twice Blessed Mommy was here? She is I have been holding babies already this morning.

Really come back tomorrow for the recipe, it's well worth it and you will be sending me XOXOXO on super bowl I swear!

Sincerely Fro Me To You ~ Scooby Doo

We went to Kings Dominion this weekend and had so much fun! We played all day, we had funnel cakes which are a must have! One of our favorite rides was the Scooby Doo Haunted Mansion, you rode in a 4 person Mystery Machine like car and shot at ghosts and zombies while riding.
For this weeks picture I wanted to share our Adventure with you all.

WFMW- The first day of homeschool


If you read this blog on a regular basis you know we home school. We love home schooling! This year we got a late start, we started yesterday. I think that things run more smoothly with a schedule. I wanted to share how we are doing things this year with 2 children doing structured schooling and a preschooler. Our day goes like this- 6:00 Wake up get dressed
6:15 Bible study
6:30 wake up the boys
7:00 eat breakfast
7:30 do short Bible story with all 3 kids
7:40 say Pledge of Allegiance
7:45- 8:30 Luke Bible and SS
8:30-9:00 Bo Phonics
9:00 snack time I also read a story during snack time
9:15-9:30 Daisy Preschool work
9:30-10:15 Luke Phonics
10:15-10:45 Bo Math
10:45-11:30 Luke Math


During school time the tv does not come on. I set up learning stations around the house so the children not working can still be learning. At one station we have pattern blocks and pictures laid out. Puzzles at another station. And construction paper with scissors and glue at another station. I will be switching up the items at the stations, some days we will paint while other days we will do play dough.
On Wednesdays we are going to a homeschooling group. We do a 4 day school week with Fridays open for tests.
What works for me is scheduling each minute of our school time, it gives us a guide line and helps me keep organized. What works for you? This week is backwards week for WFMW, so what can I do to improve our school week? I love ideas about school. For more WFMW go to Rocks in my Dryer.

Kings Dominion and a Party





*this post was originally posted 2 weeks ago but due to way to many pictures this is one of the reasons you all have been unable to read my blog so I have removed the pictures and will post only a few....





We had an absolutely wonderful weekend! The park was so much fun, it was really hot but still very fun! My kids had a great time! Twice Blessed Mommy and Daddy sure do give great gifts! They took our whole family for Luke's birthday, and then had a party at their house for him the next day. We were so blessed that Regan could go with us. Regan flew home on Monday morning, the kids are missing her already!
