Look what I found . . .

-
. . . in my refrigerator last week  . . .

I put my best detective hat on and searched high and low for the culprit. It wasn't difficult . . . the "teeth" fit. The guilty party?


When I asked her if she bit the butter, she answered very simply, "Yes." When I asked her why, she answered very simply, "Because . . . I was hungry."

Life is so simple to our little Ella. Yep. She was hungry. Well . . . works for me.

I think Paula Deen might have been in shock, don't you? Nah . . . on second thought, I think she would completely understand. I mean . . . it's BUTTAH. What's NOT to love about it?

    I totally admit that if I could, I would eat butter like that too! But it doesn't agree with my arse and thighs ;)

    Give that girl some bread! That is too funny and too cute. Got to love simple kids.
    When that happens in my house its the dog and there is nothing left of the butter...just me wondering if I'm going nuts "I know I took some butter out"

    Hilarious!

    (PS - and yes, this is sick.. but my mother told me, when she was little, back in the 50's, her grandmother would give the kids a stick of sweet cream butter to eat as a cold treat. I am NOT kidding. Apparently it was quite the norm in the south back then.) I bet Paula Deen got her love of butter from eating sticks of it!! (LOL - remember - both my mom & Paula grew up in the south about the same time.) hahahaha. Sick.. I know.. but oh so true.

    That's our Ella!!!! Gotta love her!!!! And in reply to Michelle Faith's comment, we've tried the bread-n-buttah thing with Ella - she just licks the butter off the bread!

    I LOVE THIS!!!

    Btw, Thanks for the advice. I'm going to have to be really organized as far as my time goes. This is a whole new concept for me!!! We've floated thru the last 11 years at our own pace with the thought "There's always tomorrow" Hoping it's not to shocking on the kids and also that it's not forever!

    Ha, ha, ha! Well, maybe her stopping after the 1 bite shows that it wasn't as good as she might have thought. :)

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
