Here's a healthy yummy treat we have been eating for a snack...chocolate banana yogurt. Just mash up a banana, scoop in some yogurt, add some honey, and cacao stir and enjoy!

(Even better if you make your own yogurt). Look up the health benefits for cacoa!

Little miss was so very excited ~ she fixed me breakfast!  She has been wanting to cook and bake so badly, so much so that she has been my little shadow asking can I help, can I help. Not having a ton of time and being the kind of gal that just likes to fly and get done, I have had to relax and just let her. Today as she was asking/following me, it hit me that this is actually a good thing. Why I can have her help/learn many things in the kitchen!  She is getting great at putting the dishes away out of the drainer. She is learning measurements, how to crack eggs(without shell), she's great at collecting what we need to bake.
~yes this is turning out to be pretty good indeed.

Her plain vest is done!  It turned out a bit biggish, but she loves it and rarely takes it off.

As the day progressed it was getting chillier, so I had one of the boys light the heater. A minute later I went to turn it down and move it, forgetting that the handle gets oh so very HOT.
Quickly of to dampen my fingers and dip in flour. Did you know this is a great source for relief and it usually keeps blisters away.

Blessings,
