Happy Spring

Spring is finally here, and thank goodness too! We have had a fun day already, the little guys and I went to MOPS this morning, and after the meeting the MOPS mommies and kiddos met up at the park for a picnic. The weather is still just a little chilly, but the kids didn’t seem to mind. Thade and Dylan were both thrilled to get to spend some time playing at the park.

I think it is supposed to rain later today, so that sounds about right for Springtime in Kansas. Rain or shine, I”m just happy that Spring has finally arrived!

Take That Pizza Hut

Saturday night has become homemade Pizza night at our house. I like to make the task easier by using my bread-maker to make the perfect dough for two tasty pizzas.

I usually make one large pepperoni pizza and one medium cheese pizza. This week I decided to try my hand at a Pepperoni lovers pizza. I managed to pile on 60 pepperonis, the boys were thrilled. I also decided to make a Chicken and Black Olive Pizza, which has always been a favorite take-out pizza of ours.

Making the chicken and black olive pizza at home was so tasty, and super simple too. These faux take-out pizzas were delicious, and I didn’t hear one complaint about the pizzas not being from Pizza Hut.

I also sweetened the homemade pizza  appeal by making a Chocolate Bundt Cake while the pizza dough was rising. The boys were pretty happy about that too.

I’m already planning out next Saturday’s pizzas. I’m thinking BBQ Beef Pizza is on the menu along with Canadian Bacon and Black Olives. Well Maybe I had better make 1/2 BBQ and 1/2 Pepperoni, so Thade will be happy.

Enjoying the Weather, Finally

We are finally seeing some warmer temps, and we are getting outside and enjoying some sunshine.

The little guys have a lot of fun taking an afternoon walk, and I got to get a few pictures too. There are just a few trees in bloom, hopefully the rest of the trees will start to bud soon.

Where are the Easter Puffs!

I can’t resist the brightly colored Easter aisle with all of its promises of delicious Easter candies any longer!!!!! I must consume Reese’s peanut butter Eggs by the Dozens and Gold Brick Eggs too, but there is a little problem… Just where are the Little Debbie Easter Puffs!?! They are my very favorite of all Easter treats, and I can’t seem to find theme anywhere. Time to search near and far for these beloved treats, I guess the Reese’s will have to do in the meantime.

What Easter candies are on your must have list too?

Nico’s Custom Shop

It has been quite a while since I posted a jewelry project, but this one was just too pretty not to share. I love to make hematite jewelry, but occasionally I’ll get a request for a customized order. Sometimes it is a sewing project, but this time it was matching bracelets for a Grandmother, a Mother, and a little Daughter too.

This was a really fun project, and I really love how the birthstone bracelets turned out. I also got to work with Czech Glass beads, and sterling silver, too fun. I’m a bit partial to the Amethyst one, because I’m a February baby too…
