Our Easter Treats :)

How was your Easter? Ours was nice. Actually, it was just what we needed!! It was totally "low key." My hubby and I went to church. And then had a fun afternoon with friends. It was so nice to see Lola again! Glad she came out for a few days.

And because Lola and her man hosted Easter, no one had to worry about cooking. Lola is the best cook I know! Sorry to my momma and MIL, but it's the truth! I still wanted to make a little something. So I took to my new favorite blog. And made a triple batch of these sweet treats!! Which were gobbled up in record time!! :)

Oh, yes. They were delicious!! Not only were these Rice Krispies treats delicious. But they were fun. Last week, while buying some groceries, I found some Easter Sprinkles. And that's what I used. So fun! The kids really enjoyed them. Most of all, we just enjoyed the good times, with our dear friends. When you live so far away from family, good friends are so important! Not only did God give us his son. But he's blessed us, with some AMAZING friends! ~Chels

Speechless....

Once in a while, I find something that I REALLY LOVE!! Not only do I LOVE it for myself, but then I also want to give them away. Well, as I was wasting time on searching through Pinterest today, I found this little picture. And it was seriously "LOVE at first sight!"

Not only do I think this particular cross would look AMAZING in our home. I'd LOVE to gift my parents and my in-law with one too! Wouldn't this be a wonderful Christmas gift? Gee, now I need to actually find crosses like this. Or maybe, my hubs and his buddies could make some.... ~Chels

Oh. My. Goodness!

It's October. How did that happen? I still feel like it's May. And that I just graduated! Life is just moving so fast! And I still don't have a job. :(

But don't get to sad. My hubs likes to tell me....turn that frown upside down. :) With all this spare time, I've been trying to be a better wife. You know, take care of my hubbys, take care of our home, do more home projects, clean, laundry, and cook. The last one....is definitely the toughest! And I hate to admit it!! What's worse, I had to take a handful of cooking classes in college. Apparently, I didn't learn a thing!! My "go-to" recipe is still the English muffin pizzas, that I learned how to make in middle school. With a salad! :)

Thank goodness for Pinterest and blogs! I'm learning a little from both. Honestly, I've been a little down lately. A "pick me up" is definitely in order! Today I decided that I was going to bake something yummy. When I found this recipe on Classy Clutter....I just about died with excitement!!

There's a cake in there. With Kit Kat's all around. Then M&Ms on top! Are. You Serious? Yes, I am! We just happened to have lots of candy. I spent about an hour in the Halloween candy aisle Friday. We also have a cake mix, and frosting in the house.

Yes, this is what I'm making in 5 minutes!! I just can't wait. With a different bow, I think this would be perfect for Halloween! Heck, I might make one for the Halloween Carnival at church. Because how can I mess this up? Candy and cake....does it get any better? ~Chels
