I'm not Russian and Madi is my name

---->I think my whole life I have been mistaken for someone else.. Growing up I had a best friend and we looked a lot like.. Maybe it was just brown hair. Freckles and we were skinny... But so many times I was mistaken to be her at church by her friends or her brothers... We soon both moved and I was no longer mistaken as "Liz".. 


In high school I was mistaken as that girl that you sometimes talk to. Couple of times I had random people come up to me asking me if I finished so and so assignment or what do I think of that teacher .. You know small talk but the thing is I didn't have that teacher or that class with that person.. I would explain to that person sorry I'm not who you think I am ... I don't have that class?? It was always so awkward but hilarious..Maybe it was because I dressed emo..Ribbon on the neck, short blonde hair and skinny jeans.. Many girls at my school dressed like this.. I actually enjoyed those moments and became friends with  some of these random strangers...soon I grew out of my emo clothes and became an adult...

In college I was complimented with I like the way you dress , you look like my friend or you remind me of my cousin/sister/niece...  Which was cute and sweet....... 
But soon I became Russian... I went to a bible school in Kansas City called Ihop no not for pancakes--> International House of Prayer.. And while I was there I experienced people coming up to me speaking to me in Russian or asking if I was Russian . To me this was a huge compliment because Russians are so beautiful!!! Really they are!!! 

While I was at bible school I was also mistaken as Lilly .. I found this out one day walking down a hallway and this guy who u did not know trying to booty bump  me... I couldn't stop laughing and trying to push him away and he his eyes got huge and face red with embarrassment . Saying I'm sorry I thought you were Lilly... I has no idea who this Lilly character was...  But her friends like to beat me up..I was sitting in the prayer room at bible school and I was really into reading the bible then all if sudden I get hit in the leg with a bible... I look up and this guy is smiling at me then his eyes get huge and I must of gave him an evil look and I say no I'm not Lilly.. He said sorry and sits two seats away from me... It felt so awkward and so funny ..he didn't laugh he prob felt bad...  I had to move seats bc I couldn't stop laughing..I finally met this Lilly character with actually not meeting her..I was eating in cafeteria and this lady comes up to me saying how much she loved the book that I lent her.. I'm like that's cool... But I didn't lend you a book?? She's like oh your not Lilly .. No I am not we both started laughing.. Lilly actually worked in the cafeteria at bible school.. I got up and walked out of the cafeteria and saw her and we both smiled ... I wish I told her something witty.. Like you need new friends they like to beat me up... But I didn't.. I was told by some of my friends that they thought Lilly was me and yelled at her but I don't think any booty bumping was involved ..

I moved back home and longer as Lilly or Russian ... I do somewhat look like my sister in law.. And couple of times I get mistaken as her .. But not ambushed.. Now I figured how to not look like someone else: get married, and have a baby... Really I am now just Brian's wife and emmitts mommy ... And I love it!!<-----

How do you start a blog? with kale of course

To be honest I have tried over and over how to start this blog. I have written post and deleted them many many times. I tried to be deep, personal, inspiring or intelligent.. The only reasons why I am writing this blog is because I am a stay at home mom and I think facebook is tired of seeing all my posts of my son...He is adorable :)

So I have tried to start this blog about how much I love jesus, pinterest projects, food, or about being a mother of a preemie.. One thing is I rather be private but yet I love to talk about jesus and about my son. And the other reason why I don't know how to start this is do people really care what I am saying is or is anyone reading this except my husband....love you hun

I have erase the title of the blog over and over...So I just went with something random..Which is what my blog is going to be...random...filled with things I love...

speaking of love, I have a crazy obession with kale lately. Kale has become so popular used just be a garnish that you would pick off your plate. But I love it !!! I love to roast it and make kale chips. And is so healthy for you...I am no health nut but sometimes I try to be..here is a recipe that I found:http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-kale-chips/


What you will need: 
1 bunch of kale
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon salt.....(I add a drizzle of lemon juice)
  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
  3. Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.








The crisper the better well to me they are..


Also kale is amazing in soups, juices and sauteed. So go get your kale on!!!!!!!!
