Trap Shooting and what not...

I'm here in Iowa at the in-laws writing while B and the 'rents hit up the trail and exercise the dogs. I decided not to go with since I'm really lazy and only brought heels...what better time to work on my blog on week old happenings than now. I've been so bad about blogging lately since I've taken on a side job in addition to my real job. I just blog stalk now.

This is Me playing around with Photo booth while Brian drives to IA last week. (photo booth reverses shots so no I'm not on my laptop in the car while I'm driving.
Open your eyes Duke!!Okay enough with photo booth!

Last week my youngest nephew turned one and since his parents live on a farm, we thought it'd be a great idea to try out some trap shooting. While I have shot pistols and even rifles before, I've never shot a shotgun. I borrowed a 20 gauge from a friend but I couldn't hit crap with it so I upped the ante and switched to the 12. Lots more powerful but nothing this chic can't candle...I did get a bruise on my shoulder/armpit though.

Easy Spring Fruit Dessert


As some of you who know me know I love cheesecake. I love it so much I wanted a cheesecake wedding cake but the idea was vetoed by the hubs. If there were heaven on earth, I'd say it's puppies and cheesecake, I can't get enough of either.

In keeping with the Spring vibe I decided to make up a little concoction with some items in my pantry. When I was in St. Charles, MO my cousin's wife and I came across this super cute place selling all kinds of jellies and spices and I spotted this cheesecake/ball mix that I finally decided to make...problem was, I didn't know what exactly to do with it. The cheese ball alone was too rich but on fruit, now I'm in the money!!

1. Using a mini trifle bowl pile the items accordingly and you have a wonderfully yummy summer/spring dessert!

It can't get easier than this.
