Getting back to Normal!

The month of January has felt CRAZY to me!
It seemed like there was always something new going on. 

Then last week all three of us were very sick.
Not fun at all!!!

But thankfully yesterday was a huge step towards getting back to our normal routine!
We were able to have a semi-successful Potty Training Day. 

Granted we did have four accidents by 9am(we started at 7:30). 

But hey, at least it's a step in the right direction!

I was also able to get a couple loads of laundry finished! 

YAY!
Now to just fold them...and finish the other loads I have....Maybe today or tomorrow? 

Last night we had a fantastic dinner of homemade Sweet & Sour Pork with rice!

Yum!!

And today I have been busy cleaning which is always fun!

And guess what?? 

Tomorrow will be the Reversible Bag & Matching Flower Giveaway!
YAY!

The Giveaway will be Feb.1st-3rd!

And on Thursday I will be sharing a wonderful recipe for Custard Rolls with Orange Glaze

Super yummy!
My son LOVES these!

Be sure to Enter the Giveaway as many times as you can since it will be ending quickly!

Thanks for dropping by!

We are "ick"!

Yes it is true...We are sick! 

Or as Jack keeps telling me "Momma I ick"

Sunday night Jack started throwing up.

It lasted through the night and part of Monday.

He hasn't really wanted to do anything but watch movies.

FYI: The pillow case was in the wash :@)

Last night was also rough on him. 

Poor guys tummy was to upset to sleep much. 

But he did sleep in this morning! 

Today he seems much better and is actually eating!

BUT I managed to catch his bug.

 YUCK!

Which totally stinks since I had this Giveaway planned for my blog!

But I guess it will have to wait till later.

Oh, and as a Thank You for being so patient I will also be including a matching flower with the Reversible Bag! 

Be sure to check back soon(okay, so maybe not to soon since I am verily typing this) for all the details on the Giveaway!

The Best Granola Ever!!!

I LOVE granola!

And with this recipe you will LOVE it too!

Here's what you'll need!

10 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup wheat germ

1/2 lb. shredded coconut

2 cups raw sunflower seeds

1 cup sesame seeds(optional)

3 cups almonds, pecan, walnuts, or combination(optional)

1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar

1-1/2 cups water

1-1/2 vegetable oil

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup molasses

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

3 teaspoons vanilla

Raisins or other dried fruit(optional)

Step 1. In large bowl mix together oats, wheat germ, coconut, sesame seeds, and nuts.

FYI: I chose to skip the sesame seeds, nuts and dried fruit.

Step 2.  In sauce pan, heat together brown sugar, water, vegetable oil, honey, molasses, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla until sugar has melted.

Don't let boil!

Step 3. Mix liquid and dry ingredients together.

Then spread mixture evenly between some cookie sheets or baking dishes. 

Step 4. Back for 25mins at 350. For crunchier granola back an extra 10-15mins!

Step 5. Store in air tight container!

This recipe does make allot, but don't worry!

As long as it's stored properly it will stay good for up to 6 months!

I hope you enjoy this with milk

or yogurt!

Our Adventure with Potty Training: Day 15

 Today has been spent getting Jack back on track for potty training since this past weekend he was not feeling good and spent the days in a diaper. 

He was not very happy about it, but since he needed to be changed every 45mins it just seemed easier to me.

But today things have gone so well! 

He was VERY happy to put on his "Choo Choo roos"! 

Plus, they've been dry ALL morning!!

Yay!

So here's our Potty Training Routine! 

Each morning after breakfast Jack gets to pick out a pair of under-roos!

Then we set the timer for 20mins.

While the clock clicks down we do our usual stuff.

He LOVES doing puzzles!

 

Then once the timer goes off we head into the bathroom. 

I try to get him to sit on the pot for as long as he can. 

Sometimes it's 10 seconds and other times it's 3mins. 

It really just depends on him.

If he does "go" on the pot he gets a treat!

Which is his favorite part!

I deiced to label the jars that way even  Daddy knows how many he gets since Jack will tell you that he needs more! 

Once we are done in the bathroom we reset the clock and start all over again!

 Hopefully everything will click for him soon! 

But we have been making some progress!

Do you have any tips for potty training?

If so PLEASE let me know!!

Till Next Time,

Kate
