Lucky!!

I am so LUCKY....

I heard this new song on the radio yesterday and it made me really think about how lucky I am..

I am so LUCKY I have an amazing husband, who works so hard and tries his hardest to support our family..

I am so LUCKY I have a supportive family who is there for me whenever I need anything at all...

I am so LUCKY for friends who make us laugh, give us support and make our lives better because they are around us...

and last but definitely not least..

I am so LUCKY to have a healthy boy, who makes each day an adventure and reminds me every day what a piece of heaven really feels like..

Please take a second to remember how LUCKY we all are to have each other, to be healthy and to be loved!!

JEN'S FAVORITE THINGS

I decided today I am going to start sharing all of my FAVORITE things with my friends and family. I LOVE when Oprah does her favorite things show, so I am going to make my own little twist on that. I am going to share with you all of my favorite things for the next couple of days!! I wish I had lots and lots of money so I could shower you with the things I love, but getting them off of my blog will have to do!! ENJOY!!!

MY FAVORITE THINGS DAY ONE:

SPINACH BACON SALAD w/ POPPY SEED DRESSING

3 cups baby spinach

1 head romaine lettuce, washed and torn

3/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

3/4 cup swiss cheese, grated

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 lb cooked bacon, crumbled

4 boiled eggs, chopped

1/2 cup craisins

1 cup cottage cheese

3/4 teaspoon poppy seed

1/3 cup white wine vinegar

3/4 cup canola oil

1/3 cup granulated sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 teaspoon dijon mustard
