One of the perks of starting this blog was that it motivates me to try new recipes and make the things I have always said I would make someday. I have been saying for some time now that I would start making our bread. Well the time finally came several months ago. I started with this recipe and have made so many others since. Most recipes I follow, but this one I changed up to suit my tastes.
I must warn you, this granola is seriously addictive! It all starts with an innocent hand full. And then another, and another…until you have no idea how much you have really eaten. Not that I would know from personal experience. Okay, confession time. I came home from the gym yesterday and kept nibbling while taking pictures of this granola. I did just burn over 1200 calories so it can’t be too bad can it?!
This isn’t a fun recipe post but rather some entertaining pictures of Sean decorating cookies. Tonight we had a pizza dinner at Ewan’s preschool. Afterwards the kids all got holiday tattoos, made a craft, played (that would be run wild for my kids) and decorated cookies.
I was the volunteer for the cookie activity and I must say it was quite entertaining. Each child got a bag with three sugar cookies and a small shot sized cup of frosting with a Popsicle stick to spread it. There were multiple bottle of sprinkles on all the tables. Needless to say I saw many cookies with LOTS of sprinkles. Many kids ate the extra frosting right off the sticks. Finally at the end I saw one girl pour sprinkles in the frosting and eat it! Frankly I expected one of my boys to try that!
Enjoy a few pictures of Sean….

I hope ya’ll enjoyed Thanksgiving. It seems so long ago, life has been super crazy since we returned home Sunday afternoon. There was the usual unpacking, laundry and getting everyone organized. Then I made an Advent calendar, well boxes for each day, for the boys. Talk about a rush job, it was already the first day of Advent! We got a Christmas tree and put it up. Our dog was sick. I took her to the vet Monday and found out she has Addison’s Disease. After a couple days in the hospital I bailed her out which cost me a fortune. All that and then our usual madness this week has been crazy. Continue reading
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, are ya’ll ready?! One of my family’s traditions is a walk after dinner and dessert followed by a tea pot of hot chocolate served with Bailey’s Irish Cream. It warms the body after a cold walk. Keep in mind some years Thanksgiving is in the 70s here in South Carolina, but we walk at night so we still need to warm up because it is in the 50s or 60s by then!
