Ss

Hudson continues to LOVE preschool!
He has learned so much and has such a great time.
He can tell you all the sounds each letter makes.
With a little work, I think he will be a reading machine!!


Learning letter S already...almost to Z.
Soon, we'll be saying hello to Kindergarten.
Unbelieveable!!

puffies.

Our little big girl now sits happily in her highchair. Can't stop smiling when I see her watching everything happening in the kitchen. So nice to pull her right up to the table while our family eats supper together.



We were buying babyfood today and decided to buy some puffies. Sylvie loves them! Littlest sister is getting big!!

seven months.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

How can time go so quickly? Today, I decided to try our little leprechaun in a booster chair. By the look of that smile, I'd say it's time to get the high chair out!



Happy 7 month birthday, sweet baby!!

all together?

I seem to have no fewer than 10 things on my to-do list at any time. Sometimes, I add things I get done that weren't on the list just so I can actually cross something off it! Drawing a line through something can really give me a feeling of accomplishment! Please tell me you do that, too. :)

I saw this print on a blog and I really hope it's true...a little part of me wonders if every mom has something that gets put on the back burner. Laundry, housework... No one can really do it all. Can they?

monster cookie dough dip

I keep pinning recipes to Pinterest and rarely think to make them. We had a family birthday, and I decided to try something from my YUM board.



Monster Cookie Dough Dip

8oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 C butter, softened
1 C creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 C powdered sugar
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1 C oats (regular or quick)
1 C mini plain M&Ms
1 C mini chocolate chips

Mix cream cheese, butter, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
Add brown sugar, powdered sugar and flour. Mix well.
Fold in oats, M&Ms and chocolate chips.

Serve with graham crackers or pretzels.

**I used my Kitchen Aid mixer for the whole dip. I would suggest mixing in the oats and chocolate pieces by hand. Mine was so thoroughly mixed, you couldn't even tell there was oatmeal in it.

**I couldn't find mini M&Ms anywhere. I used the larger ones, and it was fine. Small ones would be cute, though. :)

**I tried it with both graham crackers and pretzels. I preferred the pretzels. The dip is so super rich, the pretzels added a little salt.

**This recipe made a TON. If I were making it for my family, I would make 1/2 or even 1/4.
