I took Owen to the Betty Brinn Museum downtown this weekend for the first time and he had a blast! It helped that I had one of my Milwaukee Perk coupons to use(man, I love those things)...if you wanna sign up to see our daily deal(called The Milwaukee Perk), click here!
I went and got a pedicure last week with my mom who was visiting and I decided to go a little different. I picked yellow for a color(which I had never done) and when my pedicure was over they asked if I wanted a flower on my toes. I decided to go for it and here it is! Problem is, that I don't know what I was thinking....I should have gotten a BLUE flower so I would have Brewers colors. Now it just looks like I have a Summerfest flag on my feet! OH well, at least it's timely!
I made these over the weekend after finding the recipe on Pinterest and all I can say is...YES PLEASE! I loved them and will be making them more often. (FYI: I followed the part of the directions that said to take them out when the edges were brown even though the middle didn't look done...it worked great!)
Cake Mix Cookie Bars
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:20-30 minutes
Total Time:35 minutes
Ingredients:
1 Box yellow cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)
1 Small box instant vanilla pudding
1/4 Cup water
3/4 Cup vegetable oil
2 Eggs
1 Cup chocolate chips. I used 1/2 cup holiday mini M&M's and 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips.
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Combine cake mix, pudding, water, vegetable oil, eggs and chips or M&M's in large bowl.
Pour the batter (it's going to be thick) into a greased 10x13 baking dish. I sprayed my dish with nonstick cooking spray which worked well.
Bake your bars for 20-30 minutes (I took mine out at 25.)
It may look sort of raw in the middle but if the edges are just golden and starting to get crispy, it's probably perfect.
If you love Duck Dynasty as much as Rahny and I, then you will get a kick out of this: A&E has announced a partnership with Hallmark for a line of greeting cards for Father's Day featuring the cast of Duck Dynasty. Beginning on June 3rd, three different cards will be available at select Walmart stores. According to E! Online, the cards feature the men of the Robertson family -- Willie, Phil, Jase, and Uncle Si along with snappy messages like "Work Hard. Play Hard. Nap Hard." There is no word on whether there are plans to create cards for other occasions. Duck Dynasty is currently shooting its fourth season. The third season finale was the highest rated show in A&E's history.
I was busy, busy, busy this weekend! Having fun? No. Getting organized? Yes. Went through all of Owen's baby clothes to get them ready for baby #2---which is due September 22nd. Some call it nesting....I call it having nothing better to do!
Looking for something to do tomorrow night(Thursday)?? Well, I'm hosting this great event at SPIN Milwaukee so come out and help raise money for the kiddos! Perfect for a night out or a happy hour after work! See ya there!
We found out the sex yesterday of our baby and it's a boy! I will now have 2 boys under the age of 2! Yikes! The little one is due September 22nd. Owen will turn 2 on October 25. Should be interesting! Oh...and yes, we are keeping the name a secret. You will have to wait!
It was finally warm enough to get out on our first boat ride of the season this weekend and it did not disappoint! So ready for summer to be here, but I will def take the new spring weather we are getting for the time being!
