Emma and I also made chicken stock and then chicken and rice, it was a hit! We had a rotisserie chicken for lunch the other day and used it for our stock, after I took off the rest of the meat. I throw the chicken, half a onion, half a head of celery, couple carrots, salt and some oregano in a pot and filled it with water, just enough to cover the chocken and veggies. Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then uncover and cook on low heat for 2 1/2-3 hours. I then took everything out of the pot with my skimmer, I added more carrots, celery, onions and chicken back to the pot and brought to a boil, and added 2 cups of rice, and cooked until rice was tender 25-30 minutes. With the head of celery, I used everything but the stalks for the stock, then I used the stalks for the Chicken and Rice.
We have been keeping busy these last couple days! On Wednesday, we celebrated Emma's birthday at Craig's cruisers, with her BFF! I made her a Spider-Man fleece blanket, I found a cool and easy alternative way of putting it together instead of tieing it. I just bought a fleece blanket kit from Joanne's, I was able to get it for 50% off! I cut the corners and then the on the already marked lines, :) gotta love that! Then I cut a slit in every strand, except for the last two, about 2 inches from the blanket to about a inch up. All you do is grab the next strand through the slit, to get a braided effect, I tucked the ends in between the blanket. Then when you get to the last 3, after you pull the second to last one through, tie and tuck the last 2. I saw this on pinterest and can't believe how good it turned out and how easy it was! We also had a cookie meeting for Girl Scouts!! Emma set a goal of selling 400 boxes, she is shooting for a special prize and to get her registration paid for next year! We all started setting goals for the New Year, Emma with her cookies, Maddy's goal is to be potty trained by March, I might have helped Maddy set her goal ;) I set my Passion Party goals and Adam and I set our goal to staying on track to be debt free! I really feel 2014 is going to be good! I can't wait to see what's in store!

I have been thinking a lot about the new year, my Passion Parties business especially! I will be sharing kid activities, recipes, fun romantic ideas, Passion product info and things that I hope help inspire you. October is going to be a busy month! We have 32 new collections, 11 new products starting the month off! I have also heard there might be a special kit offer!! I have weekend dates still available to get together with you and your friends for a fun night in! How much fun would it be to dress up with your friends and have a Halloween themed Passion Party? Invite the guys and make it a couples party! You could offer prizes or even shots of tequila for best costume! Check out Pinterest for DIY costumes, if you can't bring yourself to drop money on a costume. In the spirit of Halloween I will bring the lotions, potions and things that go buzz in the night! Passion products or credits can also be used as prizes! I Definitely suggest serving drinks to help loosen your guest up! Serve drinks like monster mash slush, apple pie in a jar or pick up a local seasonal brew to serve your guest! You and your guest can play games like killer instinct, murder in the dark, apple bite and the ghost game! These games are fun and will have your guest feeling like kids again! 'As adults, we don't get to trick or treat anymore. We usually don't get to act like a kid and just have fun. This is your chance to throw a party where grown-ups can just be goofy and have a good time. These Halloween games will give your party guest a chance to be kids again.'

Check out your love horoscope and then check out your partners! Aries This wildly flirtatious fire sign certainly takes the initiative when it comes to romance. They're quick to move when someone catches their eye. But to keep an Aries' attention, the person needs to be as energetic and as exciting as they are. This is a passionate sign that loves adventure. When a fire burns, it really burns! Whirlwind romances are common for the Aries personality. But once love sets in, it's generally for life. As long as there's plenty of spice and excitement to keep the blood pumping, the relationship will be strong and long-lasting. Strengths: Courage, determination, self-confidence, enthusiasm. Weaknesses: Impatience, silly arguments, allowing fear to limit choices. Taurus Be prepared to take your time when it comes to the Taurus lover. Exceptionally sensual, touch is most important, and being rushed in any way, shape, or form is not going to turn this sign on. Mates are often from the same status and social circle able to match the Bull's intellect and desire for the better things in life. Expect affections to be shown through material items - the Taurus is a great gift-giver. Strengths: Dependable, patient, musical, practical. Weaknesses: Stubborn, uncompromising, possessive. Gemini Fun-loving and always up for an intellectual challenge, the Gemini is a spirited lover. The talk that precedes the interlude is just as important as the actual contact for this sign, and when it comes to wit, this sign holds nothing back. Flirtatious and curious, the Geminian will spend time with a lot of different lovers until they find one that can match their intellect and energy level. The Gemini needs to experience excitement, versatility, and stimulation to feel fully satisfied. Once the perfect match is found, though, the Geminian can settle into a lifestyle for two for the long haul. Strengths: Curiosity, ability to share ideas, adaptable, affectionate, kind. Weaknesses: Scattering energy in too many places at once, fickle in love, nervous, short attention span. Cancer "I feel" is the key phrase for Cancer, and this is all too evident when it comes to love. Tender and gentle, a Cancer will show sensitivity with their lovers without a second thought. They love readily and choose a mate who can understand them as much as possible. Superficial or overly ambitious partners are not well-suited. The Cancer lover will look for someone who is equally intuitive. They are devoted partners, love children, and marry for life. Strengths: Compassion, emotional sensitivity, fierce protection of loved ones, tenacity. Weaknesses: Manipulative, indirect conflict, clinging to the past, insecure, packrat. Leo This fiery sign is passionate and forthright with affections. When it comes to sex, you can expect the Leo to be adventurous, fun, and highly energetic. There is a definite line of division between sex and love for Leos. Mates are chosen for their willingness to allow the Leo to take the lead, shine brightly, and be independent. They look for uninhibited lovers who aren't self-conscious. As accepting as the Leo is, a mate needs to be an intellectual equal to cut the mustard. Leos are loving, fun, and very giving to those in their personal life. Strengths: Warmth, humor, pride, joy, creativity, passion, generosity. Weaknesses: Arrogance, stubbornness, inflexibility, self-centeredness, laziness. Virgo It's important for the Virgo lover to feel needed by their mates. Outside of the bedroom is where the majority of foreplay is going to happen for this sign. Tactile, methodical and willing to take as long as is needed, they make excellent lovers. Even though the Virgo won't express many words of love, they will show their affections in the bedroom. Virgos prefer to have a few strong connections rather than many partners. Life partners are chosen based on how important and needed the Virgo feels they are in their lives. They are dedicated spouses that love to live on the wild side once and a while. Strengths: Practical, loyal, hardworking, analytical, kind. Weaknesses: Worry, shyness, overly critical of self and others, all work and no play. Libra Finding the right partner will be a priority in the Libran's life. For those already in a relationship, maintaining the peace and harmony takes center stage. A Libran alone is a sad thing indeed, not to mention unnatural. They need to connect with others. As lovers they are expressive, creative, and balanced. They love to make their partners feel completely and thoroughly satisfied from conversation to lovemaking. The Libran's charm and dedication to striking the perfect balance with others makes them wonderful partners. Strengths: Social, fair-minded, cooperative, diplomatic, gracious. Weaknesses: Indecisive, will carry a grudge, avoids confrontations, self-pity. Scorpio This is the strongest of the sexualities in the Zodiac. Incredibly passionate, the Scorpio takes intimacy seriously. Partners need to be intelligent and honest. Much of the foreplay for this sign happens long before the bedroom through conversation and observation. Once in love, they are devoted and loyal to the death. But relationships can take some time. The Scorpio needs to build trust and respect for a potential mate slowly and thoroughly. Strengths: Passionate, stubborn, resourceful, brave, a true friend. Weaknesses: Jealous, distrusting, secretive, violent, caustic. Sagittarius Sagittarians are playful and love to have fun with their lovers. Passionate, expressive, and willing to try just about anything, partners who are equally outgoing are best suited to the Sagittarius. There's a fine line between sex and love for this sign. Their love of change and variety can bring a lot of different faces to the bedroom. But when it comes to love, that's an entirely different thing. Once taken, the Sagittarian is loyal, true-blue, and devoted. Mates for this sign need to be intellectual, sensitive, and expressive for the best results. As the key phrase for this sign is I understand, having a good sense of how their partner thinks is quite important. Strengths: Great sense of humor, idealistic, generous. Weaknesses: Will say anything no matter how undiplomatic, promises more than can deliver, can be impatient to the point of rudeness Capricorn The Capricorn is most often a serious lover preferring to take things slow and steady. You won't see this sign jumping into anything headfirst. Taking relationships one step at a time is the way of the Capricorn. Words can be few with this personality, yet action speaks volumes. The Capricorn values deeds and will go to great lengths to express their affections through them. They're great gift givers and don't bat an eye at the costs of spending a fantastic night out. Genuine and sincere, you can take what few words a Capricorn does say to the bank. Strengths: Responsible, good managers, disciplined, self-control, dark sense of humor. Weaknesses: Know-it-all, unforgiving, condescending, expecting the worst. Aquarius Intellectual stimulation is by far the greatest aphrodisiac for the Aquarian. There’s nothing like a lively chat rich in culture and future possibilities to get this sign going. When it comes to love, people best suited are those that are not thrown off by Aquarian frankness. Open, communicative, imaginative, and willing to risk are all qualities that blend well with this sign’s perspective on life. Honesty and sincerity are essential for anyone seeking a long-term connection to this dynamic personality. Strengths: Progressive, original, humanitarian, independent. Weaknesses: Runs from emotional expression, uncompromising, temperamental, aloof. Pisces Deep within the Piscean beats the heart of the diehard romantic. Loving, tender, and exceptionally giving, this sign cherishes intimacy deeply. They are passionate lovers that need to feel a real connection with their mates. Quick flings and superficial interludes do not bide well for the Piscean whatsoever. In relationships, they are fiercely loyal and doting. They love to give gifts and to make the person in their life feel like a million dollars. Nothing is too good for the Piscean's love interest! Strengths: Intuitive, compassionate, artistic, gentle, wise, musical. Weaknesses: Can be a victim or martyr, fearful, overly trusting, sad, desire to escape reality.
