A Year In Review

Here is a recap of my 2010!

January:  I got my new camera (and fancy strap, and fancy bag...)!
February:
We got a big snowstorm
Celebrated Lola's 5th Birthday
and met Abby & Brian in Austin for some outlet shopping and our friend, Chris Pepper's "Howdy Partner" party
March: Among all the events, I was on cloud 9 because I booked my annual May Mexico trip and loved that Liberty of London made it's way to Target so I could stock up on their swimsuits for my vacation...

Took a trip to Dallas Blooms at the Dallas Arboretum
and got a spring snow storm
April: So April was clearly my most fun month of the year!  Who knew April would be so fun?

Easter fun
Re-landscaping (okay, so more work than fun)

Seeing Bon Jovi with Suzanna

Traveling to El Campo and then Houston to visit Abby & go see Ryan Star at the House of Blues
May: So we all know by now, May didn't exactly go as planned!

I'll spare you the gory photos, but can't leave these out...
but there was a little fun...
June:  I feel like June was consumed by physical therapy...

stitches were finally removed
Lisa & I went to see one of my favorite authors, Emily Giffin, at B&N...
and I got a new Fairy Godmother

July:

July was when I discovered J Rae's cupcakes and the world would never again be the same...
I took Maddie & Gracie to see the Ramona Movie
I shopped the heck out of the Nordstrom Sale a couple of different times
We had a couple of celebrations for my Meme's 80th Birthday

August:

I killed my new Fairy Godmother
I began to be able to bend my hand again with much effort (and pain)
Ryan Star's new CD, that I'd been impatiently awaiting,  finally came out
and he started a tour which I drug Lisa to

September:

I went to Fort Worth and finally ate at Ellerbe (try it if you haven't)

But the real highlight was going to NOLA with Abby

 October:  Besides being my Birthday month, October was filled with activities...

The State Fair of Texas
Another Ryan Star Concert
I persuaded Emily to go with me this time...
Went to College Station for the Tech/A&M Game
and celebrated Halloween

November: This month was made up of lots of decorating...first for Thanksgiving....
Then after celebrating Thanksgiving, it was time to decorate for Christmas.

December:

Visiting with cousins in from Alaska

A gingerbread house building party with Lisa & Jennifer
Seeing ICE at the Gaylord Texan with Abby & her family

and of course, finally celebrating Christmas

2010!  What a Year!

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
