Super Yummy, Super Fast, 3 Ingredient Cookies

3 Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, 1 cup of Quaker Oats and chocolate chips to taste :)

Mix them all together, we added a few too many chocolate chips for my taste but the kids loved them!


Ready for the oven! Cooked them at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes.

Fresh out of the oven and oh so warm...

Ashley just loved them! See the evidence on her face? This was before she had it everywhere!  
Enjoy!!!

Oh My Cheese Puffs


The other day when I was at work my husband and son went shopping. This is what they bought when Mom was not around lol. This has to be the biggest container of cheese puffs I have ever seen. My son carries it around like its a stuffed animal. He has claimed he loves it and he wont share with Mommy because its for babies. He is so silly! He wants to take it in the car but I draw the line at having to buckle in a container of cheese puffs!

What other snacks have you seen in this jumbo size?!?

Personal Creations Easter Gifts Review


Easter is on it way! Time has been flying by but in a good way. Each year that goes by I love the little things about holidays more and more. The small details like a personalized items on a gift make me smile. Items for my son with his name on it are things I treasure since I know one day he will grow up and those types of things will not be "cool". So for now I will indulge in my need to have cute little personal touches on items.



For Easter this year I knew we needed a personalized basket. The few Easters we have had as parents have been so fun. This year we want to go to a big Easter egg hunt in our neighborhood and him having his name on his basket will ensure no other little bunnies will try to claim his basket.




The Personalized Easter Basket from Personal Creations is the basket we selected. It comes with free candy inside and you can pick from pink, blue or green. When the basket arrived I was pleased with the stitching and the value of the candy we received. There was even a little plush bunny included.



Another great gift is a personalized family photo frame. Everyone loves a reason to be able to share pictures of their cute kids right?!? We ordered a nice frame that says Family Live Love Laugh and our last name. I was a bit surprised that the family name part was written up into the part that reads Live Love Laugh. The picture of the item did not do that. Most people it would not bother but small details like that catch my eye. It just needs to be written a tad lower. But I am sure they could fix that through customer service.

The "T" is over the LIVE part and the "H" into the E in love.
 Here is the picture of the stock photo:


Personal Creations has so many cute items. I spent hours looking at all the gift ideas they have. I saw kitchen items, baby stuff and more frames that I would love to have in my home. I think the personal touches to the items make great gifts for any home.

Frugal Friday - printed duct tape


The other day while checking out the dollar section of Target I came across printed duct tape for $1.00. I usually see it for at least $3.99, that role is bigger than the dollar roll I picked up, but the dollar roll was perfect for a little home project. I covered this red chevron L with quite a bit to spare. Nice!!


Here are my supplies: The $1.00 printed duct tape and a cardboard L that I had bought over a year ago at Micheal's. Honestly I can't remember the price but I know I wouldn't have paid more than a few dollars for it.




I cut the chevron tape and made sure to wrap it around the sides and line it up so that the pattern matched all over. It was so simple to do because the duct tape is so strong, it creates great lines.



Here is the finished product on a book shelf in my living room. The whole thing took me less than 10 minutes to complete. This little project was simple and the results are making me so happy!! I have seen these chevron letters upwards of $20.00! I recommend you pick some today, you can cover just about anything in duct tape!
