Links and Stuff

I still don't have pictures of the tu-tus I made for the girls. I haven't been able to make O's yet. We went to the movies on Monday and then I had to rush to bible study. Yesterday, E was out of school because of a snow day (all of you in the North would laugh at our snow days and what constitutes calling off school). At any rate, school was cancelled and we spent the day watching movies.

This morning, we're on a 2 hour delay. This gives me approximately an hour and a half without O so I can run errands. But, first I thought I would share with you a few links and favorite things.

I'm off today to buy more of these. I love these and used to only wear them when I was skiing (once a year, maybe). But, since I found some in black and gray, I wear them a lot. I love them.

Yankee Candle Outlet is having a sale and I was able to get TWO of my favorite candle for $20 (the large jar). I love Christmas Cookie! That's a really good deal considering ONE jar is normally $24.95.

I made the EASIEST recipe last night for chicken dumplings using my crock pot (thank you, Lisa B!). They were delicious. O kept saying, "Mommy, you can make this every night and I will eat and eat and eat". I may just do that.

One NOT so favorite thing is this Magic Cool Disney Princess Oven. Oh my word! Santa brought this to O for Christmas and she couldn't wait to bake a cake. I'm not sure why Santa thought you could bake a cake with no heat - using only ice. I don't think it made much sense to Santa at first, but for whatever reason took a shot at it. Yuck! The cake turned out sort of like a VERY COLD congealed salad. O took one look at the finished product and said, "How nasty is this???" So, now it's a 'pretend' toy in her room. Be warned. Easy bake ovens with their 100-watt bulb really are the perfect gift, no? At least you end up with a somewhat edible cake.

One last thing and certainly the most important ... don't forget to continue praying for Baby Harper. You can read updates here on Kelly's blog. Also, someone had the great idea of setting up a prayer blog for them. You can visit it here and leave a comment letting the family know you are praying for them.

So glad that my Girl is over the Easy Bake stage...and that that Disney Princess thing wasn't invented when she was smaller...because it may have thrown me over the edge!
