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!

Surprise Birthday Weekend!

Many of you know that I received the BEST surprise this past Friday on my birthday. My mom and husband worked together for weeks planning a surprise trip to Canada. Not only was I surprised, but Olivia and Judah were surprised too! It was the best 4 days I've had in forever. Here's how it went down. Friday, like any other day, I dropped Olivia off at school, and went out to run some errands. Later that afternoon I took Judah with me to the grocery store, and when I got home Scott was already home. He had a few meetings during the day, so I asked him to come home early, so I wasn't surprised to see his car in the garage. However, when I walked into our house he almost ran into me coming out. He seemed shocked to see me, and then had this suspicious look on his face. I didn't think too much of it, and just walked into the house. I was carrying Judah though, and when he got far enough into our laundry room where he could see around the corner, he starting leaning out of...

Integrity

I'm going to do my best to write this post in love and not condemnation or criticism. I pray that my heart on this issue will be evident and not misunderstood for something else. I heard a great pastor say about a week ago while he was presenting the congregation with an uncomfortable message "receive this in love". I thought, "what a great way to say what you really think and get away with it b/c you've given the 'love' disclaimer!" But seriously, this has been on my heart for about a year now. I don't know if it's been God that's brought it further and further to the front of my mind in the last month or what, but I felt the need to share. So, receive this in love! Integrity. When most people hear this word they automatically think of the personal meaning of the word. If someone has integrity they have moral or ethical principles.  A more corporate definition of the word as it pertains to the Church or a church ministry is "the s...

Mommy Porn is No Better than Daddy Porn

I read a fantastic article on the phenomenon of "50 Shades of Gray" and "Magic Mike". I share the same disbelief that women everywhere that claim to follow Christ would indulge in these types of entertainment. There seems to be this sort of movement of women saying, "if men are allowed, so are we!", instead of standing against the very things that breaks the heart of God. Sure, men all over the world have become ensnared in the tangled web of pornography. Do I think that's any more wrong than women being involved in the same thing? No, of course not. I do know though, that because of the incredibly high demand for pornography, young women and even girls are being enslaved to supply that very demand. If we choose to begin a new revolution of sex-for-sale with women in mind, are we going to be OK when the same number of boys end up trapped across the earth as there are girls because of our sinful means of entertainment? That's the reality of this sit...
