Our New Flash

by jrwarfield

Well, our new flash is older now because we have had it for a couple of months,but I haven’t really posted about it yet. We wanted a flash to help take pictures. We have a light box, and I like the pictures it takes,but I don’t always want such a stark white background. I know nothing about good photography,but I know what I like. I would LOVE to use more natural light,but when I a blogging or taking pictures it is normally during the week after work and sometimes on the weekends. I have very little light to work with because of how our apartment is facing and the time of the day.  Here are some comparison pictures we took right when we bought our flash to show why we like it.

Jessica’s Chicken Salad

by jrwarfield

Here is one of my favorite recipes. There are THOUSANDS of different version of Chicken Salad! There was one that I grew up with that the amazing ladies at my church in Ohio always made, and it had grapes and cashews in it. I have to say that I am partial to a sweeter version of chicken salad. Of the varieties found in restaurants, Panera Bread has the best one hands down in my opinion. Well you can disagree with me and that is fine because little things make a huge difference. My older sister Kira has a great version too. I begged my mother in law, Gail, to ask the amazing ladies at church to give me their recipe. I have to say she did AMAZING!

McDonald’s Maple Brown Sugar And Fruit Oatmeal CopyCat!

by jrwarfield

This is a recipe that I have been making a LOT! I love having a warm breakfast, but it needs to be fast too. I eat at work and so normally it is instant oatmeal or a breakfast sandwich. I love cooked oatmeal better than instant, but as long as it isn’t cereal, I won’t complain. Some mornings I don’t mind cereal either, but something warm is great too. I got a free coupon for the McDonalds maple brown sugar oatmeal. I went and tried it, and of course it was great! The calories aren’t that bad, but it is knowing all of the extra bad stuff that they are putting in that makes me not want to eat it. Also, the price, I can buy everything and make a TON of them at home for much cheaper. So, I was on the hunt for  a copy cat recipe and one that was doable at work.

Christmas Presents 2012

by jrwarfield

This year for Christmas, I made some of the gifts, not necessarily because they were cheaper but because I had the time and the drive to make them. The break down of gift this year were 10 of our gifts were made, 10 were won, and two were bought. I was pretty happy with this because if I hadn’t won these giveaways, I don’t know if we would have been able to give everyone gifts this year or any at all. For my Dad, Nikolas, Jason, and Daniel, I made the pies in a jar found HERE. For Kira, I made a clutch purse; for Simon, Grant, Andrew, and Wilson I made toiletry bags. Then for my Mom, I made the necklace below.

Exciting News

by jrwarfield

I don’t know if you noticed, but we were finally able to get a new domain name!!! When we first got a blog, all of the normal ones like thewarfields.com or warfieldfamily.com or thewarfieldfamily.com were all taken, so warfieldninjas.com was the funniest we could find. Well yesterday, I was looking at my Sister in Law Sarina’s blog and noticed that she had gotten grashamfamily name.  We were excited for them. Grant and I were randomly talking about how sad it was that we hadn’t gotten warfieldfamily.com, and he decided to look it up. Domain names are bought for a certain amount of time, if you decide not to renew, then they are open to people to buy. The one we wanted was available! So, we snatched it right up and are excited! It is sad that we do own a lot of domain names just encase we need or want to use them for something later. If you go to warfieldninjas.com, it will just redirect it to the new domain name. So, if you read our blog, you don’t really need to change anything like bookmarks or google reader feeds; it was just something we were excited about! Hope your week after the Holidays isn’t too ruff. We are having a hard time regulating our sleeping schedules… sounds like we should have kids to say that,but we just keep staying up late and getting up early. I hope this weekend will help!
