Rice Krispies Treat for One

If you know what Pinterest is, you know how incredible it is for MANY reasons! If you don't know what Pinterest is, or you're sceptical of another time-waster, social media website, I encourage you to go to www.pinterest.com and sign up for an account. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself to be a creative person. I definitely wouldn't call myself "crafty". However, Pinterest has changed all of that. Whether you like crafts, cooking, or just shopping, Pinterest will be something you will love!


I've had so much fun in the last month trying all kinds of new ideas in the kitchen. My poor family has had the pleasure of being the guinea pigs! However, tonight, my husband made a request. He wanted me to make rice krispies treats. I have these random cravings all the time! The problem was, we didn't have Rice Krispies cereal. I racked my brain, and luckily found one of those mini boxes of the breakfast cereal and the light bulb turned on! That would be enough to make 1, maybe 2 rice krispies treats! They turned out great! So easy, even fun! I had TWO happy campers (Scott and Olivia). Below you'll find the instructions. Easy, but Pinterest-worthy, I think!


First, I grabbed the mini box of Rice Krispies cereal.
Then, I got 2 mugs, and rubbed the inside with a little margarine (just enough so the marshmallows wouldn't stick.)  After that, I placed 2 large marshmallows in each mug, and melted them in the microwave for about 30seconds, but only for 10seconds at a time.
Once the marshmallows were gooey, I poured half the box of Rice Krispies cereal into each mug. I lightly buttered a spoon (again, so the marshmallows wouldn't stick to the spoon) and mixed the two together. Last, I pressed the rice krispies treats into little separate dishes and instantly had a treat!
All in all, this took maybe 2 minutes to do. Super quick. Super easy. Super delicious! Enjoy!

What's Your Confession?

This morning I was scrolling through Facebook...OK, I'm guilty...but an article caught my eye, and though I did not read it, God instantly spoke to me. The article was something about college students dropping out because of their social anxiety. I immediately related..."Maybe I have social anxiety," I thought. My mind went to all the times when I've felt awkward, uncomfortable, and even anxious in a crowd setting. But just like that, it hit me. I felt the Lord say to me, "Of all the things I call you in my Word, anxious , is not one of them." Loved. Chosen. Saved. Child of God. Not once does the Lord call us or label us with those words we have somehow, almost lovingly, welcomed and accepted as a banner for our identity. In fact, all through the Bible He tells us not to fear, be courageous, and be anxious for nothing. My mind raced through all the times, some even recently, that I felt like I was somehow being brave in sharing open-heartedly and trans...

The Gift of Solitude

I received a phone call this afternoon from my husband. He called to inform me of an appointment I have this Saturday morning. An appointment HE set up for ME. He called to tell me that he scheduled a relaxation massage for me, and following that a manicure. Um..ladies?! Is that not one of the best surprises ever? We're getting down to the final days before we leave for the Southern U.S. for Christmas, and I have a TON to do. Between list-making, cleaning, laundry (which he's done ALL of), and packing, I really have no time to be unmotivated. However, here I am. Procrastinating. I'm the world's best!  Scott knows how stressful the last couple of days before a trip can be for me. So, he decided to make sure to schedule me some time of solitude. I get a spa day, and he takes the kids for the day. THE. BEST. All you moms out there, you know what the gift of solitude is like for you. HEAVEN. It doesn't have to be a spa day, or shopping day, or anything like that at a...

Seasons

    You've probably heard the saying, "wrong place, wrong time" before. Well, that thought got me thinking about other scenarios of that saying and how it relates to seasons in our life.  It had me reflecting on the different seasons in my life, and how in each one of them God was trying to teach me something.  I can think of several examples of times in my life where I've been in the "wrong place, wrong time", right place at the wrong time, and of course at the right place, at the right time.  But then, I think to a degree, we are all at the right place at the right time. Even as I sit here to write these words, a quote I've written on a bright, pink note card stares me in the face. It reads, "A woman who walks in PURPOSE doesn't have to chase PEOPLE or OPPORTUNITIES. Her LIGHT causes PEOPLE and OPPORTUNITIES to PURSUE her." What a beautiful thought for a control-freak woman like me!      I can without a doubt testify that when I have let...
