That is just a taste of the day to day...

NORWAY

My husband just returned form a work trip to Norway. He said it was the most beautiful place he has ever visited. Which is saying a lot, because he has visited many more places then i have...

The spectacular landscapes are called Fjords. here is the definition:

Geologically, a fjord (pronounced /ˈfjɔrd/ ( listen) or /ˈfiː.ɔrd/) is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides, created in a valley carved by glacial activity.

BEAUTIFUL!

Soccer

Along with being an art teacher, I am also a soccer coach. Many people are very surprised by this fact because the stereotype of being an athlete and the stereotype of begin an artist do not fit neatly into the same box. But I love it...some days i love it more then others.

Today I am proud to be the coach of these girls, they finished their season 10 wins, 5 ties, and NO losses, they scored 43 goals and had 11 shutouts! Congratulation JV red!

I love to cook and this is one of my families favorite dishes. QUICK & EASY way to make this dish is to boil chicken breasts and using canned chicken broth. FULL FLAVOR version consists of roasting the chickens the days before, allowing them to cool and shredding the meat with a fork and then make your own broth with the remaining chicken bones. The home made broth gives the pot pie a full and rich flavor that will not disappoint.
