So Much Going On!

by Jennifer Sikora on January 27, 2012

Hey all :)

Life has been running full steam ahead around here and I have been So busy! I have been cooking a lot and I have lots of great recipes to share with you, but like I said — it’s been crazy busy around here.

I think I might need to get me something special to prevent pulling my hair out as crazy as this week has been! There’s nothing more attractive than hair loss in women! LOL

What’s been going on

A few days ago I was hanging out on Twitter and I sent a tweet to Melissa D’Arabian from Food Network. I almost peed my pants when my phone dinged and this is what I saw:

I screamed so loud that my husband thought something was happening to me. You do not know how happy that tweet made this foodie lover!

Speaking of food, look at this delicious new breakfast dish I made this week. I am in heaven! It is low carb, easy to make and scrumptious of course :0 They are called Bacon and Egg Cups.

We had a creative day at our church with the ladies last weekend and we made the most adorable sock snowmen you have ever seen! The idea came from Pinterest of course :) . I made me and Stephen and Kayla made her and her bestie :)

Last but not least, we have a new member of the family. If you have been following my blog for very long, you know how dogs always show up at our house? Well, “Fred” showed up the other day and has no intentions of leaving.

Fred is a gorgeous chocolate lab who has been homeless for months now according to others who live in my area. Now he has a new family and a place to call his own.

As for the weight loss — nothing drastic happened this week. I am still at 161 and I really can’t say much more about that than that. I think I am going to have to start a daily journal or something of what I have going on with that. I am just not being very accountable.

Well–I have lots to do today, but just wanted to catch you up to what has been going on in my life the last couple of weeks!

What’s been going on with you?

Terri Blackstock’s Downfall

by Jennifer Sikora on January 24, 2012

The 3rd book in the Intervention series by Terri Blackstock is available now for pre-order. It will be releasing February 28th.

I was excited when I was asked if I would like to review it. I have read the other books so I knew it would be good one. I love all of her books as she is an excellent writer. Terri knows just how to draw you in with her mysterious plots and characters.

About the book:

Emily Covington has turned her life around after a drug addiction, but her family still has trouble trusting her. Though Emily has committed herself to a year-long treatment program and has been sober for almost a year beyond that, even her mother walks on egg shells around her, fearing she’ll relapse. After her behavior during her drug years, Emily realizes she has a lot to prove.

When police discover a home-made bomb under Emily’s car, and she then learns the wife of one of her friends was murdered that same morning, she knows things are deadly serious.

But who wants Emily dead? And why?

A conversation she had with two men, an Alfred Hitchcock movie, and a plan for a double-murder all conspire for one explosive ride … and Emily is the only one who can identify the killer and save the life of the next potential victim.

As she frantically works to solve this ever more complicated puzzle, Emily finds herself playing right into the killer’s hands.

About the author:

Terri Blackstock (www.terriblackstock.com) has sold six million books worldwide and is a “New York Times” bestseller. She is the award-winning author of “Intervention” and “Double Minds,” as well as such series as Cape Refuge, Newpointe 911, the SunCoast Chronicles, and the Restoration Series.
