sunday citar.....CHILLAXIN!!!

after almost three full days of

cooking 4, primping 4,

decorating 4, and attending

parties and celebrations,

all i wanted to do today was

RELAX & CHILLAX

with my baby boy!

"The time to relax is when you

don't have time to do it."

FUN, FUN Friday!

if you're a fan of no-bake cookies like i am,

this is probably one of the best recipes

ever for them!!!

it's my cousins and people

have raved and begged for these for years!

even if you've had or made them before,

try this recipe!

it's the proportions that make it so great!

MOIST NO-BAKE COOKIES


Combine in large pan:

2 cps. Sugar
½ cp. Hershey’s cocoa
½ cp. Whole Milk (tastes the best but you can use any kind)
¼ cp. Salted Butter (again, tastes best but margarine works too)

Bring to a boil SLOWLY! This is the key to having them moist and set well, should take about 15-20 minutes to get the full boil.

Then boil 2 minutes.

Take off of heat and add:

2/3 cp. Peanut Butter (chunky or smooth, whichever you prefer)
2 cps. Quick oats
1 tsp. Pure Vanilla (can also use imitation)

Mix well. Then scoop out onto wax paper about 3-4 inch size piles. Allow to cool and set.

Tip: I mix the peanut butter and oats together while waiting for the boil mix so that they mix faster and more evenly when the time comes. The mixture sets quickly so you need to move fast!

"Dare to wear the foolish clown face."

Frank Sinatra

don't be afraid to just let it all go

and be silly once in a while....

it deactivates the aging process!

THINK ABOUT IT THURSDAY....

we all take memorable pictures of the events in our lives.....

sometimes it's an intimate setting,

and sometimes it's out in public.

so have you ever stopped to wonder how

many STRANGERS you've taken pics of....

or better yet,

how many STRANGERS

pictures YOU'VE been in before???

like this precious little guy

crying over his birthday cake

we don't know...

or the lady on the right

looking right at the camera...

or this lady,
hurrying on her way
instead of watching the show...


or the nice lady behind us
smiling with excitement
over the fun of riding the elephant...


or this cute little man
enjoying a train ride....

THINK ABOUT IT!

lost in translation......

today i sat and tried to catch up on blogging...

noticing that i myself have not posted in such a long, long, time....

but low and behold, i had not a single idea in my head....all the while plagued at what i should be doing elsewhere.......

and staring me in the face is a handful of my son's new editions to his PEZ collection......

and then it hit me........

it's just a PEZ kinda day......

meaning, "dispense...one piece at a time."

i {heart} faces....let's hear it for the boys!

what's more 'boyish' than

CLIMBING!!!
