Quick Biscuits

So I ran out of biscuits the other night and my hubby loves bread with dinner so to save my dinner. I did a quick search online and found a fabulous recipe for biscuits that are a cinch to whip up and cook in mere minutes. (unfortunately I can't find the website to link to so you have a better picture)

Here are the ingredients
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tbsp mayo
• 1 tsp oregano (I used Italian seasoning mix as I didn't have any oregano)


Mix together in bowl and drop by 1/4 cup on greased baking sheet, it makes about 6 biscuits. Cook at 500 degrees for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!!

Plastic Balloons

A childhood classic was brought back into my life via the dollar store. Oh yes while cruising the aisles of the dollar store looking for some stuff for my latest attempt at a chore chart and organization for my daughters these babies caught my eye.


Now if you have never played with these you may want to stop reading now because this post won't be nearly as exciting.  However I remember these from when I was younger and I loved them. Make your own balloons, well I am a crafting geek so making anything by myself sounds FABULOUS!  I had to buy some of these so my girls could enjoy the memory of playing with a toy from my childhood. Well I took the package to my parents house because it was Friday and my mom watches my girls during the summer. She also watches my nephew and niece so fun was had by all.

Her eyes would get bigger and bigger the bigger the
balloon got. So funny.


Look at her go! Her cheeks would fill with air like a chipmunk.
 
All Emmalee wanted to do was pop them she loved the sound
and to feel of them in her hands. Lucky for her she is cute.

There was a lot of spit in his bubbles and he ended up popping
them all after he showed Maka but he thought it was great fun.

Our Finished Products

While I was online looking for a picture because I didn't take a picture of the package before it got destroyed I found a blog that is so cute, Me & The Mexican, she does a Thursday Throwback that is what actually brought me to her blog. The post is titled the same that I titled mine, Plastic Balloons. Check her out and if you are near a dollar store take a stroll through their aisles and see what you may find.

Click a Pic #2

Ok so I may be obsessed with this challenge I just love it and the adventure it takes me on. This week was a new set of words and a new interpretation. I hope you enjoy my pictures this week because this challenge is getting me to share more pictures and also making me use my camera phone a lot more.

Words for the Week
Brand Whore
Meaningful Accessory
Cozy
Quote
Manicure

If you know me I am all about saving money, especially if I can get the same thing
or something similar for less so this one threw me for a loop. I had to go do some
Internet research hoping there was a second meaning for this but to no avail.
However in my Internet searching I ran across a fellow blogger that is
a self proclaimed BRAND WHORE. I am not linking up to her blog as
there were a lot of language used in the post that I do not wish to be linked to my
blog but I did borrow this from the post and thought
it was fitting for a Brand Whore.

My engagement ring and band a very very MEANINGFUL ACCESSORY.
Besides reminding me every minute of every day that I am married
to an amazing man. These two rings are actually family heirlooms. My band
was my grandmothers, we added the two pink stones to signify our girls,
and the diamond represents us. And the engagement ring was my great
grandmothers and is so beautiful they just don't make rings with
such gorgeous detail anymore. Love!
 
 
Ok so odd looking picture. My here are my favorite COZY
North Face fleece pants and my COZY slippers. Oh Fall can't come quick
enough so I can slip these back on and not sweat to death in them. :)
 
"Grant me patience to deal with my blessings" oh yes some days
this QUOTE gets me through amazing things. It is located
above my kitchen cabinets and some days the reminder
is a blessing unto itself.
 
Wow not the most flattering picture, but hey I never claimed
to be a foot model. MANICURE, pedicure, whatevercure. I
do not do a lot with my fingernails besides break them,
playing with my girls, mowing the lawn, you get the idea.
I do however do self pedicures. I love painting my toes,
because toes are really ugly in general anything looks better than plain.
See the little butterfly on my big toes? And I am totally loving
this color blue.
