Books

You guys know that I love to read. In fact, in preparation for my vacation (that is now cancelled), I had been building a pile of books for weeks. I kept adding books, taking books away. I had decided on 6 books to take and read next week.

Anyway, I saw that another blogger had done a post on favorite childhood books, so I thought I'd tell you about mine.

One of my first loves was this...


I also loved all of the "Ramona" series. Christmas of 2008, I got my cousins the entire series. They love them too. We have plans to go see the movie that comes out this summer.


Another book series I always loved was Amelia Bedelia. I also turned the cousins onto these.


Finally, in late Elementary school, I came to love the author Betty Ren Wright and her mysteries such as "Christina's Ghost" and "The Dollhouse Murders".


What were your favorites?

Emery and I just finished reading Beezus and Ramona. Now we are reading Ramona the Pest. So excited about that. We also love Amelia. Once she reads on her own I'm going to introduce her to Fudge. I think she might love that since her brother so resembles him!! I also loved the Doll house murders.

Didn't you love the Boxcar children? I can't tell you how many years I pretended to live in a box car. Then there was the whole babysitter's club era.

I also loved Little House on the Prarie. I liked that series so much that I wrote my senior History thesis on it!!

I loved all of Judy Blume's books. Also the Sweet Valley Twins and Sweet Valley High.

I love Amelia Bedilia! When I was doing speech therapy with elementary kids I used that book all the time! It was perfect for multiple meaning words and what not! Love it!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
