And Away I go....

WooHoo.. I have finally joined the "Blog World." I always said I wouldn't, but here I am.

Here is a little background on me, what I'm going to be doing, and why I'm doing it!

:::about me:::

My name is April Rice (hince the blog name). I am 26 yrs old and have been married to Mr. Rice (Greg) for going on 5 yrs. We have 3 beautiful, entergetic, busy, crazy, wonderful children.

Emma is 3, Courtlynn is 18 mo, and Braxton is 9 weeks. **Yes, we own a TV** I am a stay at home mom, I love to play with the kiddos, read new books (Nicholas Sparks is GREAT), watch movies, shop, spend time with the hubs, and enjoy life. We are a strong Christian family and try to live the way He wants us to.


:::what i'm doing:::

I am going to be putting the recipes and pictures of what I make for dinner or bake. I'm going to try to do this daily.. we will see how THAT works. I'm also going to set up an email where you can email me your recipes so that I may try them out, rate them, and put them on here.

:::why i'm doing it:::

First off, I'm proving to mother I can like to cook. Growing up, my mama couldn't get me in the kitchen if her life depended upon it. Then something someone happened. I got married!!! I then began cooking to feed him and realized... i love it and I'm actually pretty good at it. Now, with a family of 5, staying at home, and being on a budget, I cook reasonably priced dinners from scratch (most of the time). Another reason I am doing this is for a food jurnal. This will be keeping me/us accountable for what I am eating.

Okay, so that's who I am, what I'm doing, and why I'm doing it. Hopefully I get me some followers and away we go...
