Sweet potato hash with spicy mango/jalapeno smoked chicken sausage

For two days it snowed, and now it looks like a winter wonderland outside. I've been busy sorting through things. I'm still on a mission to have our entire home organized. I've been reusing a few bags, and boxes to store things away. 

We have all enjoyed lying around, and being somewhat lazy. -It's really hard for me to do this; so when it happens...it’s never for too long. Lately; we have enjoyed cooking a few healthier meals. I cooked us a delicious tomato basil chicken soup.-It turned out great, but next time I will make some minor adjustments. 

Lately; we have been using our food dehydrator a little more. We prepared some pineapple. We normally use it for jerky; so we wanted to change it up. 
Our daughter received a little stuffed lamb in the mail a few days ago. My mom sent this along with a few pajamas. Ever since her lamb arrived; she has wanted to wear it on her back using my Moby wrap. When she was little I would carry her around in it all the time. So now I've been enjoying watching her carry her little lamb around.  I truly find happiness in being home with my family. How is your time spent at home? I'd love to hear. 

I want to thank those of you who left such kind words on my last blog post Love, happiness, and joy- Embracing this life. {My journey}. I was happy to share parts of my journey with you. You are all so kind, and I really do appreciate all of you.

    It looks like you have a wonderfully, warm, cozy and loving home. I have never tried dehydrating pineapple, that's such a great idea. I will try it soon.

    Aww I love that she does that super duper cute! I spent our weekend teaching the little man to ride a trike. In the end he still does it his own way and doesn't want my help but now we go outside every single day and "ride bicycle-cylce!"

Now it's just snow, and more snow. lol-and when it's not snowing it is way too cold.-but on the bright side I'm enjoying a few other things indoors. I hope you all have a wonderful week.

    Your days at home always seem so comfy. I love reading about it and seeing the pictures. Our life at home has been so simple lately being stuck inside the house considering the freezing weather outside. We spend a lot of days just hanging out and lately, it has been nice. :)
