Reality TV Thursday....

Can't believe its Thursday already! That means DJ has a full week of Kindergarten under his belt AND Reagan starts her 2nd year of Preschool on Monday!

So for everyone who knows me, knows that I love me some good reality tv...

So, while Reagan and Allen were napping yesterday, I was skimming through On-Demand and came across Married to Jonas..

Let me just say that I don't think I have ever listened to the Jonas Brothers. After watching that first episode, I am hooked.. I felt so bad for Danielle.. She has absolutely no say in what goes on around there. I know that being the wife of a pop star is gonna be tough, but having the whole family talk about when she should get pregnant and actually schedule it is a little much!!


Seriously, How freaking cute are they?!? Oh.. My favorite part is that she is kind of "air-ey" like Jessica Simpson! She says some of the funniest things... Love it!! Also, her dad is constantly showing up unannounced and has no problem with it.. hahaha


On to the next show..

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo..

Seriously?! I will never look at a biscuit the same way ever again..

Who comes up with these shows? I just don't get it.. I don't have a lot to say about this show, since I was only able to stand about 15 minutes of it. The parts I did see was when they were weighing themselves. I would have slapped my child if they said half of what she said.. So pitiful...


Do people like the Thompson family really exist?? These redneck celebrations where teenage girls named Pumpkin go bobbing for raw pig feet really happen??


Last but definitely not least...

I'm Having Their Baby...

Oh my goodness... This show turned me into an ugly crier.. This show goes behind the Adoption Scenes and we get to see what everyone goes through. Some of the moms decide last minute that they want to keep their  babies, which leave the adoptive parents with empty arms and shattered dreams. Even after being in the delivery room and already starting to bond with these babies. Breaks my heart, but I know it happens all of the time.


These moms share why the feel like placing the baby up for adoption might be the best choice and admit that they sometimes don't think they'll be able to follow through with their decision. These are some heart-wrenching decisions. I don't think I could ever give up my baby, unless it was a surrogacy pregnancy. I applaud these moms for their selfless acts for families who can't have babies.. ugh *tear*


**Since my birthday is in a few weeks, I plan to have a HUGE GIVEAWAY on the blog!! So keep an eye out for that!!!

Here are the questions to answer! 


 

- If you were searching for a home now, tell me what would be on your "MUST" list.
The one thing that I want while we are looking for a house is a wrap around porch! I love the look of it and have always wanted a house with that feature! I also want a Pool... Doesn't have to be huge, just big enough for my kids to have fun in!




- Show me your favorite room in a home {either your home, or any home, i.e. kitchen}.
My favorite room would be either the family room or a play room.. My Dream room would be probably the bathroom/closet :)


- If you could have any room redone, tell me which one would it be and what would you like done?
Since we are not in a house yet, how about a whole house! Organized Closets make me so happy!!!

- Tell me where your favorite stores are to shop for home decor.
Target.. That store gets me every single time. I also love Pier 1. 


- Show me your dream home {it can be your home, if you already have your dream home}

The George Foreman Grill: Show Us Your Grill Skill Recipe Contest


With the kids starting school and being so busy lately, family dinners have been getting harder and harder. Dave’s schedule and the kids schedules are very jumbled at the moment. Within two weeks, we should have a solid routine down!

I recently had the opportunity to review the George Foreman Removable Plate Grill and come up with a recipe that would be quick and easy! 


The first thing I did when it got delivered was open it up and read through everything. I have never owned a Foreman Grill before. I started going through my recipe book and made a bunch of different plates, but the chicken dish was the best tasting. 


Ingredients:

4-6 Chicken Breasts
Shredded Colby Jack Cheese
Flavored Bread Crumbs 
Seasonings

- Get everything together and mix the cheese and bread crumbs/seasonings together.


- Dip the Chicken Breasts into the mixture.
- Make sure they are coated nicely.



- Put on the grill for 5 minutes on each side and then a few more minutes.. Just to make sure ;)



I am pretty sure my kids loved this dinner! 


I love that the clean up is so easy! Dave was a little worried about having to soak the Removable Plates for a little while, but I was not worried at all! I just tossed them in the dish washer and they came out looking brand new!

The George Foreman Next Grilleration™ is here. This 5-serving grill allows for easy cooking for the whole family in under 20 minutes. The nonstick coating and patented slope design make every meal a healthy one. And clean up is also worry free thanks to the dishwasher safe removable plates.
