Low Calorie Waffle Delight 275 Calories

The other day we had a breakfast dessert dinner! Yep, Breakfast, dessert, & dinner in ONE! HAHA! I had a major sweet-tooth and peanut butter, waffles, bananas, and chocolate chips all sounded delightful! Although, I wanted something filling for dinner, as I was very hungry! Well, it hit the spot! I was so full halfway through that I didn't even eat it all! No, i'm not kidding! You have to try it! It was delicious! The whole concoction is valued at 275 calories! You could make it lower calorie by purchasing healthier waffles, I used what I had... and it was yummy!

Nightstand Makeover

Last week while bargain hunting.. yes, when I found the cute clock! I also found a nightstand that needed some tender.loving.care! Not really classifiable as an antique.. well, actually I guess it could be! It is so crazy how we can look at products and think to ourselves, man that is so outdated and old, and then look back at memories & talk about how it feels like yesterday! I love old stuff though! I get that passion from my grandmother! My Granny always looked around for and decorated with antiques. I loved spending time with her and learning about the old days. That may actually be the reasoning behind me getting a degree in Anthropology! I love studying old stuff! This nightstand was just an easy flip that I couldn't turn down. I painted it with chalk paint. I made my own, but also recommend Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. And I added a few knobs that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I painted the handle to match the new knobs. I will be adding several more pieces in the upcoming week. It is rainy here, so no painting for me at the moment. Feel free to leave pics in the comment section of your projects that you are working on or have completed. I love to see that others are getting crafty & turning trash to treasure!

Carrot Patch Dirt Cake!

Okay. So, i'm a bit late uploading this recipe. I created this scrumptious recipe for this past Easter. It was a BIG hit! YAY! It was simple and fun to make! I will definitely be making it again in the Fall! The Strawberry's could also pass for "Pumpkins" ;) and that will go great for Halloween and Thanksgiving! I may also get my nieces and nephews to help.. or possibly Timmy :) I will also buy some of the cute white picket fences from the craft store and put those on the front of my casserole dish to decorate it up a bit. You should definitely give this a try! It would be super cute at a baby's first birthday or a baby shower! Let me know if you make this dish and if you have any suggestions! :)

Success

Success.

How do we measure it?

? Job. Education. Social. ?

Well, I struggle with this aspect of life each and every day.

Where will tomorrow lead me?

I know that I am doing all I can at the moment

&&& I am so proud of myself.

Women are strong.

We do so much & get little praise.

I created a few motivational pictures for me & you.

Easter Sunday

We had such a blessed Easter Sunday! Spending time with family and friends is one of our main priorities. We spent our day with Timmy's side of the family. I made a "Dirt Pudding Carrot Patch" cake and it was a hit! YAY! We had a wonderful meal and will have fond memories of all the special moments. We love watching the kiddos run around full of life and love. Our cousin's daughter was telling us how she had won a prize for knowing a bible verse, I love hearing things like that. So many people are not teaching children about religion and it breaks my heart! Easter is so much more than candy, Easter eggs, and toys. I will treat my children with egg hunts, Easter baskets, and such.. but they will also know about our savior. We are all so blessed, and we have the one above to thank for that! While visiting my mother-in-laws later during the evening, we looked out upon the pond. It was so peaceful! Nature is so lovely, nothing like ending an Easter day with the feeling of being blessed. The photo above shares my view and I love the bible verse upon it. Feel free to save and print, it is free :)

I hope you all had a blessed day and I love you all!
