Russell Family Blessings

Ok, I admit it...I'm addicted to sewing! Today, Kristen came to our house to sew. With her she brought her two girls, Riley Grace and Maggie Ruth. We had a delightful time sewing and the girls enjoyed playing together. Oki wasn't the best "sharer" but we made it! Thanks to Riley Grace for doing an outstanding job of entertaining Oki and MR. I did a little embroidery this morning and over the course of the afternoon I completed the outfit below...

I just wanted to inform all of my friends of a great deal I found this evening. I have been looking for a new pair of Keds for Oki. While shopping today, I found a pair of Keds in the style I like, Katie. They were on sale at Belk and I almost bought them, but was a little unsure of the size. I am so glad I waited! When I got home tonight I found them on Shoebuy.com for $29.00, but I got $10 off and free shipping, so I managed to get the shoes I wanted shipped to me for only $19.50! I don't know if you're a bargain shopper or not, but I LOVE a bargain. I think the $10 off is only for today, but you can click on the following link to check it out: Shoe Buy If you enter the following code at checkout, you will get $10 off on orders of $50 or more...

I thought I'd share this wonderful recipe with you all. Eli and Max love for me to make them because they're so delicious and easy to warm up. I like them because it gives this busy mom a good feeling to know that I can provide my family with a decent breakfast. As you see in the picture, I bake them in cupcake papers so that they are easy to manage. They are delicious alone or with grape jelly on top! Sausage Muffins Ingredients: 1 lb. Pork Sausage 1 can cheddar cheese soup 1/2 cup milk 3 cups Bisquick 2-3 Tsp. rubbed sage **I use Sausage with sage instead of adding sage separately Brown sausage. Drain. Combine soup, milk, sage and sausage. Stir in Bisquick until moist. Drop into muffin cups. Bake @ 400 degrees 15-20 minutes. Makes 4 dozen mini or 2 dozen regular muffins. I always allow the boys to eat a few and then I drop the rest in a gallon freezer bag and place them in the freezer. The muffins are easily thawed in the microwave after only about 45 seconds! ...
