3 pinterest fails and 3 AH-MAZINGS!

I have been having some epic pinterest fails lately, which is NOT the norm.  Most of the things I have made have been really good.  I guess the ones I have picked just have been bad choices. Here are some

I guess I set myself up to fail for this one.  I am from KC and I am very particular about my BBQ Zesty Slow cooker BBQ chicken

 Ok.  This wasn't a total fail.  It was pretty good, but the sauce was SO runny and I coudn't get it to thicken up using tricks.  Maybe someone else will have better luck? Hawaiian Meatballs

Summer chicken wraps. How amazing do these look?  These were an EPIC fail.  The thing that made it fail? A $7 jar of almond butter I had to get at whole foods.  NOT a good taste.


Want to know what's AMAZING?!?!

Most likely you already have the ingredients.  Fast, easy, cheap, yummy!

These were really good and were gone pretty fast at the Break the Fast we had at church. They were really rich and I would have preferred less butterscotch and more chocolate chips

If you haven't had browned butter anything you are missing out.  It is the secret to making some desserts EXTRA yummy!



Happy eating!!

Jackson is... 2???

Image
How did that happen?! 2 years ago today we got to finally go home after his open heart surgery after being born, which you can read about  RIGHT HERE What a fun little man we have on our hands.  He runs around all day.  Loves anything to do with balls, cars, and trains.  Typical boy.  He talks in full sentences, sleeps in a big boy bed, and we will soon start potty training! He also sings songs the ABCs and many songs he has learned at church.  So cute to listen. Thank you Lucie for the adorable pictures!   For his birthday I really wanted to do something low key and not too much work.  Of course that doesn't apply to the cake, the most fun part! We took what Jackson loved and made a party out of it. A ball party.  We had it in our backyard, invited a few of his friends (also my nieces and nephew were in town!) and played with big and small balls, all sports balls, and bubbles (ball shaped). Now for the cake.  SO MUCH FUN! It took a c

Metopic Craniosynostosis

Updated Pictures of my handsome 4 year old! The most noticeable part is the scars is above his ears on either side. This spreading of the scar doesn't always happen but he seemed to have a lot of swelling after surgery in this area which stretched out the scars. The scares are most noticeable after a hair cut (which is during this). You can kind of see in this picture his squiggle scar that goes across his head from ear to ear. It's not super noticeable. I often get asked about Jackson's scar on his head.  Although his hair has grown A LOT since his surgery, it is still pretty obvious I think.  People are so funny about it though.  We usually get double takes or triple takes and only some people are bold enough to ask. WHICH IS FINE!  I don't know why people are so scared to ask.  Maybe because they think they will offend me? I don't know.  But some do ask and I reply he had Metopic Craniosynostosis. Metopic cranio whata wha? Short Answer: He

Baby Girls Nursery Reveal

Image
After having two boys, and putting together two different BOY nurseries, I was so excited to go in a completely different direction this time around.  Yes, dinos, cars, and animals are cute, but girly pink and flowers are much more fun to craft together.  This nursery turned out better than I thought it would and it is all DIY! And if I did it, so can you! Thank you PINTEREST! Lets start with the walls.  Where the white is, there used to be green with a small white stripe.  Originally, we were just going to paint it and leave it white. BUT, after doing that I HATED it! Luckily, I gained some inspiration from the bedding and found  these vinyl triangles   on Etsy.  They were a great price and we were very pleased with them.  Especially because they came with more than the 100 it said it would. The laser level came in handy when hanging these. The bedding I couldn't find bedding that I really liked anywhere.  Again, I turned to Etsy but then realized
