Where we are.
by Megan Kemp
Do you ever play hide and seek with your kids? Mine LOVE hiding. When I come peeking around the corner they giggle in utter delight. I especially love when the little ones hide, because it's usually in plain sight. They do, however, cover their own eyes so that they can't see me coming. I also love that when they do, rarely, find an especially good hiding place that they go back to that exact same spot every. single. time.
We have been hiding here at Adventures of a Supermom. Not exactly the same type of hiding that...

Some of my favorite Pioneer Woman Recipes...
Lets just start off by saying that I have a small and probably somewhat unhealthy crush on Pioneer Woman. I love reading her blog, her book was great and her recipes are by far the easiest and best to cook and to taste! I have compiled a list of some of my favorites for you to try. I have made all of these and my family loves them. My husband use to look scared when he knew I was trying out a new recipe and he still does... until I say it's Pioneer woman. Then all of his worries go away! Grilled Shrimp or Chicken with Lemon Basil PastaBBQ Chicken...

Hot Chocolate
by Sarah Clark
We had a fondue dessert course at a Christmas party a few weeks ago. I made our favorite dark chocolate sauce. There it was, sitting in my fridge after the party, so dark and velvety smooth, waiting for me to finish it up, spoon by spoon. Then I had an idea. I thought I'd put a heap in a coffee mug, pour milk on top of it, and make hot chocolate. And I wish I had never done it, The giant can of Swiss Miss in my cabinet used to do the job for me. But no more. I can never go back. This was so so...

Great Fall Salad
by Kenna Sluder

Thankfulness Fortune Rolls
by Sarah Clark
Wanna make your Thanksgiving meal a little more fun? Try these rolls! I made my own crescent rolls and put little notes in them. The notes had everyone's name on them and said, "I am thankful for ______ because..." When you open your roll, find the fortune and tell that person why you are thankful for them. I made a list, printed it, and just wrapped them up when I formed the crescent. You do this idea with the canned rolls, or here's a recipe I used. (Next time I do this, I will make the...

Chicken Corn Chowder.... And the winner is...
I love fall. I love the changing of all seasons but my favorite by far is fall. The smell of the cool air, changing of colors, the smell of people burning their first fire in their fire place and of course the start of a season of cooking comfort food. Every year on our first cool day I make Chicken corn chowder. I don't have a picture due to the fact that I haven't made it cause Josh has been out of town and If I am going to make a dish that wonderful you better believe My man needs to be home to eat it. Enjoy!Ingredients:4 Chicken breasts cut...

Mom tip of the Week
In the event that it is just "One of those days" where things either keep going wrong or start out off beat for the day here is what you do: Go to some place private and smile the biggest happiest smile you can and hold that smile for at least 20 seconds! Psychologically your brain cannot go against the muscles in your face so if you are smiling- it sends a message to your mind that you must be happy and your emotions will follow suite. Yes, this sounds a little goofy but it works every time! Do try it on your next "off-day"!! God Bless You!! ~Rebekah Thompson Amarillo, TX
