I know it's been a while since I posted anything. I've been kind of busy.

Firstly; David (now 8 1/2 months old) is starting to be very crabby during the day and not napping well. (any suggestions would be wonderful)

Secondly; my sister-in-law and cousin is visiting the end of this month and I'm trying to get their rooms ready and planning stuff for us to do. My cousin hasn't been down to FL ever and my Sister-in-law was last down in 2002 so its been a while. Plus they are only going to be down 4 days so we have a lot of craming to do.

Thirdly; still trying to find a steady job for the hubby (being unemployed really sucks!!!) But he as a contract offer for next month (keeping fingers crossed they don't pull out like the last ones).

I haven't done anything crafty or Pintresty either (which I have a horrible itch to do something soon) but my step-daughter has come to me to help her with wedding decorations she wants for her wedding in November, (EXCITED!!!) so I should have stuff up for that.

But I did get the wonderful chance to FINALLY get accepted to Pottermore (YAY!!!!) so I've been playing around with that. I've been sorted into Hufflepuff house. Which I'm going to embrace. If you haven't joined and is a Harry Potter fan you should. Only the first book is available currently but still you learn a lot from J.K. Rowling herself. It's pretty cool.

I hope to have something to post soon.

David is crabbing again!! GOT TO GO

Funfetti Cake Batter Buddies

These are absolutely addicting!!! My husband couldn't stop eating them. (Which made me happy since something I made isn't getting thrown away for a change)

I guess my Funfetti Cake mix didn't have a lot of sprinkles, but it doesn't matter.

They were still amazing!!!

The recipe came from Six Sister's Stuff 

Chex Funfetti Cake Batter Buddies

Adapted from: So Very Blessed

Ingredients:

5 cups Chex cereal (I used Rice Chex)

10 oz (5 squares) vanilla flavored Almond Bark (I used white chocolate bars)

1 1/2 cups Funfetti cake mix

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vegetable shortening

Directions:

1. Melt Almond Bark according to the package directions, adding vegetable shortening to thin (I heard that you can make it without the shortening, but it worked great for me to use it).

2. Pour the cereal into a large bowl and drizzle the melted Almond Bark over the cereal. Mix gently with a large spoon or spatula.

3. Dump the cake mix and powdered sugar onto the cereal and mix gently with large spoon until all the cereal is evenly coated.

4. Enjoy!! It's so good! :)

They are extremely easy to make. I'm thinking about using Dark Chocolate and chocolate cake mix next time. Just think of all the possibilities!!!

Marshmallow Delight

 My one step-son, Cordell, absolutely loves anything to do with marshmallows, so when I came across this recipe on Pintrest I knew I had to make it.

I didn't take any pictures of me making it because your hands get a little messy making these. And my finish product "exploded." However they were very good.

Here's the recipe:
From allrecipes


Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
8 large marshmallows
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted


Directions
Separate rolls into eight triangles. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Dip each marshmallow into butter, roll in cinnamon-sugar and place on a triangle. Pinch dough around marshmallow, sealing all edges. Dip tops of dough into remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar. Place with sugar side up in greased muffin cups. Bake at 375 degrees F for 13 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

I will make these again and hopefully have someone help take pictures.


Also, there is a Easter story behind these as well. Another name for these are called "Empty Tomb". This can be found here: The Girl Who Ate Everything (plus she has better pictures than mine)
