NEVER GO TO THE GROCERY STORE HUNGRY

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DON'T EAT BEFORE GOING TO THE STORE. A LOAF OF FRENCH BREAD & A NICE DIET PEPSI TO WASH IT DOWN. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THIS. I THINK I LEARNED THIS FROM BEAU'S MOM, PAM!

MASHED POTATO ICE CREAM ANYONE?

I RECEIVED THIS NEW COOKBOOK FROM MY MOM FOR CHRISTMAS & I AM VERY EXCITED TO START USING IT. I CANNOT GET MY LITTLE BOY CAVIN TO EAT ANYTHING. I HAD THIS BOWL OF MASHED POTATOES ON THE COUNTER AND HE CAME OVER AND THOUGHT IT WAS VANILLA ICE CREAM SO I WENT WITH IT. HE TOOK THE BOWL AND WALKED OVER TO THE TABLE AND SAT UP TO THE CHAIR AND TOOK A BIG BITE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTO, HE WASN'T TOO HAPPY WITH MY TRICK. I AM HOPING THIS COOKBOOK WILL HELP.

A BUSY MOTHER'S DREAM

AM I DREAMING ALL OF THIS? SWEET DEIDRA CAME OVER AND DID MY HAIR AT MY HOUSE! CUT, COLOR AND ANASTASIA EYE BROWS TOO! SHE EVEN CALLED ME ON THE WAY OVER AND ASKED IF I NEEDED HER TO GET ME ANY HAIR PRODUCTS WHILE SHE WAS AT THE BEAUTY SUPPLY STORE. SHE SET UP HER SALON IN MY KITCHEN AND HANDED ME A STACK OF MAGAZINES TO ENJOY WHILE SHE DID ALL THE WORK. BEAU SHOWED UP AT THE END AND HAD HIS EYEBROWS STYLED TOO. WHAT A TREAT! THANKS DEIDRA!

Gingerbread Cookies Yummy!

Thank You MELANIE for the best Gingersnap Cookie Recipe! I made them yesterday for our Carlson family party!

Ginger Snaps

1 1/2 cups butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
4 1/2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and molasses, mix well. Add dry ingredients. Roll into balls and roll in sugar. Bake on un-greased cookie sheets at 375 for 10-12 minutes - if you only leave them in 9 minutes, they are chewy good. Once cooled, dip one half into melted white chocolate!

Girls Trip to Las Vegas

Thanks to my cute sister Morgan who bought me a ticket to Celine Dion and my mom who treated us with the airfare and lodging. My mom, Sisters & Sister in Laws, took off to Vegas for a long weekend. We had a blast! We mostley shopped the entire time and that is always fun for me. We spent an hour and a half in Sephora putting make up on each other. Went to Whole Foods, Trader Joes, H&M,Cheesecake Factory, In'n Out Burger (twice). Other highlights from the trip for me was the Treasure Island Breakfast Buffet that had fresh homemade donuts and to top it all off, as we were walking out they handed us fresh Cotton Candy. My sister and I also each won $250 on the same slot machine. That was exciting! I can't wait for our next girl trip. Thanks Mom & Mo!
