1. Who mows your grass?

We live on base and they have a contract with people to do our lawns. YAY! Andy and I are not garden/lawn people.

2. Do you have a picture wall or picture gallery in your house (show us! <--- my addition to the question)? 

I dont actually have a picture gallery but I do have 3 big picture frames in our living room. One is featuring pictures of Callie, one of Wilson, and one with a mix of family pictures.

3. What book has influenced your thinking the most? Or, what blog? (I want to read what gets people thinking!) 
What gets me thinking? Wow. I must not think too deeply about things because I am drawing a blank. I do read articles on Yahoo and other news sources. Mostly about parenting. A very moving blog that I read while I was pregnant with Wilson was He will carry me
 A very heartbreaking blog of a woman who lost a child to Trisonomy 18. I honestly couldn't imagine facing what she and her husband had to face. To know that the child you were carrying would basically be born to die. Ack. I get a lump in my throat just thinking about it.

4. Do you have allergies? If so, how do you handle it this time of year?

I think as I have gotten older I have developed seasonal allergies. They seem pretty bad around fall time. But I have moved in the past 2 years from 3 different areas. Luckily nothing too terrible, just sneezing and itchy throat. I am unfortunately allergic to cats or else I would probably have one! I love kitties!!

5. What's your go to meal to cook in an hurry?
In a hurry? Probably anything I can throw into a crockpot and just forget about.  Slow cooker Taco Soup is one of my all-time favorites.

This recipe is fairly close to the one I make except I add a can of White Hominy in mine.
We get a bag of tortilla chips, shredded cheese, and sour cream and go at it!
