Dessert Tonight... yum!

The family wanted dessert tonight.

My husband said he wanted apple pie.
Well, I was not going to make that tonight.

..... But wait.  I did have apple pie filling in the pantry. AND I did have crescent rolls.
So I knew I could come up with something thanks to the internet and Pinterest.

Her directions call for using 4 of the 6 muffin tins - I opened a second container of crescent rolls so I could fill all 6 tins.  I also skipped the topping.  Just too tired to add it.

So 2 ingredient apple pie.

I baked the crescent rolls for about 5 minutes before adding the pie filling.  I think it helped get the bottom of the dough cooked without the apples mushing it.

Essential Oils

I joined Young Living about a year ago. I bough their starter pack which included a diffuser and 10 different oils. My two favorites are Thieves and Stress Away.

Inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals used while robbing the dead and dying, Thieves is one of Young Living’s most popular products.

I do have to say that using Thieves in my difusser last winter kept my family from coming down with the flu! (Along with the flu shot)

And surprisingly when I use Stress Away in the diffuser my family was much calmer. I did not tell them what was going on. Or what Essential Oils I had put in the diffuser.

Here is my link if you are interested in buying anything.

Pumpkin French Toast Bake

I saw this on Pinterest last week and have been thinking about it for a few days!

I cut up the bread two days ago and saved them in a bag.  If you have a Jimmy John's near you, they sell their day old bread for 50¢ a loaf!  (We like it to feed the ducks!)  I bought some the other day when I brought home lunch.  I cut the loaf into small pieces.

Mixing everything together took less than 5 minutes.

I poured the mixture over the bread.  I made sure to coat every piece of bread.  I'm sure they will be super soggy in the morning.

Will cook it all in the morning.

Planning a Mario themed party

My son is turning 8.  He requested a Mario themed birthday party.  No problem I thought - I'll turn to my friend Pinterest. And thanks to my friend Pinterest, I have planned the party.

Invitations were hand delivered last week. (photos to come)

He wanted to invite everyone he knew - school, soccer, scouts - and he wanted to have it at the house.  No Way - said this mamma!  I told him he could invite 5 friends (which made hand delivering invitations okay)

I'll work on linking websites I used after the party is over.

Off to play with my friend Silhouette Cameo!

Signs of Spring

Here is what we came home to after spring break! Our flowers had bloomed!

It was a beautiful sight after a long drive home!
