Spring has finally arrived...

It has been a long, cold winter in Michigan but Spring has finally arrived.  Will tuned his bike up with the Scouts and has mastered riding without training wheels.  Now all Will wants to do is ride his bike.  I can hardly wait for warmer weather and wearing flip flops!  What are you looking forward to?

Spirit week...

Will had Spirit Week at school and on this day it was superhero or your favorite comic.  Will seems to always pick the characters that are rare and hard to find.  He wanted to be Night Wing so luckily a friend was able to make a custom Night Wing T-Shirt and I picked up a mask at Party City and he had the blue thermal shirt.  What do you think?

The Following

At first when I started watching The Following I wasn't sure if I was going to keep watching it.  It started out so violent and it isn't that I can't handle violent shows but it was very disturbing.  I do though love Kevin Bacon so I continued to watch it.   The Following has become one of my favorite shows.  I love the suspense, it keeps you on your toes and wanting more.  The show flashes back to the past to help fill in some gaps.  I will say though I find Emma, Paul and Jacob very disturbing, I know you aren't suppose to like them so the writers have done a great job getting the audience to despise them.  If you haven't started watching The Following I highly recommend it. 

With God All Things are Possible

Happy Sunday friends! 

 This is one of my favorite pieces and a serves as a reminder for me.

 With God all things are possible.

My Favorite Warm Winter Coat Northface Metropolis

It gets really cold in Michigan, and I don't do well with cold.  When I pick Will up from school we have to wait in the cold on the playground so a few years ago I bought a Northface Metropolis coat and it still continues to be my favorite warm coat.  I really didn't want to give into the Northface trend,  and  I didn't want to be running around town with the same coat as everyone else, but the coat is very warm.  This year I was in the market for another down coat and I tried a few different brands but came back to the Northface Metropolis again, this time I  got it in Graphite Grey.   I found the best price at Zappos HERE.  I highly recommend this jacket and it isn't bulky and won't make you look like a puffy marshmallow.

Guilty Pleasure..... TV

If I have just one guilty pleasure it has to be watching TV before bed.   I have so many favorite shows such as Revenge, The Good Wife, Blue Bloods, Downton Abbey,  and Friday Night Lights,  but the show Scandal has to be my top pick right now.  The shows creator Shondra Rhimes doesn't disappoint her fans at all.  I love a story line that has a bit of mystery that keeps you coming back, some romance and then Olivia (Kerry Washington) the main character is such a strong female character.  Olivia is a "fixer" yet her own life is a bit of a mess; I guess you could call an affair with the president a messy situation. I also like how the show spends a lot of time in the "White House" you get to see what it may be like, even the first lady's closet made it into a scene. If you don't watch this show already you really must.  I watched the entire first season on Netflix over Christmas break and am now hooked.  I hope this show sticks around for a very long time. 

Silly Boys at the DIA....

Will and his Tiger Cubs took a trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts.  In this picture you can see they finally found something that they could touch.  I am pretty sure they were tired of hearing, Do Not Touch that.  They mostly giggled at some of the art work, boys will be boys.  It was a fun afternoon for all, parents included.

Yuletide Layer Bars

Yuletide bars are not only yummy but very festive..... and really easy to make!

Ingredients

1/2 Cup Butter

1 1/2 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs

1 1/2 cups Flaked Cconut

1 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts and used my pampered chef chopper to chop them really small)

1 can 14 oz. Nestle Carnation Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 2/3 cups Nestle Toll House Holiday Morsels

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Melt butter in 13x 9 inch baking pan, I melted it in the microwave.  Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over butter.  Stir well; carefully press onto bottom of pan.  Sprinkle with coconut and nuts.  Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over top.  Sprinkle with morsels; press down lightly.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown.  Cool completely  in pan on wire rack.  Cut into bars.  You can find more recipes at verybestbaking.com

Peppermint Mocha... Who needs Starbucks?

I picked up the International Delight Peppermint Mocha creamer the other day; and ever since we have been making our own Peppermint Hot Chocolates and coffee.  I use to have a slight addiction to Starbucks Peppermint Mochas but am so glad to find this cream, it is saving me a lot of money.  If you like peppermint you need to try it!
