An Exciting Weekend {Read in sarcastic tone}

So last week the bronchitis came back with a vengeance.  I should have been well.  I had taken my z-pack, used the inhaler and consumed the nasty cough syrup.  But I wasn't better.  On Wednesday afternoon, I realized I was on the downhill slide again, so I called up the doctor and got another round of medicine.

For whatever reason, this new medicine made me feel bad (or else I had a touch of the stomach bug too, which is entirely possible as well).  Anyway, I had a pretty low key weekend.

My cousin Gracie was in a musical called "Into the Woods".  She had a big role...Cinderella, so I had to go see her.  I went on Friday night.  She was so great!  They said no pics, but I caught a couple at the end...
Dark + Action = Blurry!

This was the 2nd of their 5 shows this weekend!

Here she is after arriving back at home (complete with some Cinderella make-up smudges on her face)...

My other cousin Maddie went to see it too. She brought a friend.  Please explain to me how it is that parents don't drown girls between the ages of 10-18?  I cannot tell you how many times my uncle and I said, "Inside voices!", "Girls!  Calm down!".  Once we dropped her friend off, things got a bit calmer, and we went for ice cream...



Then my weekend got real exciting.  I slept, watched DVR'd television, napped, coughed, took medicine, patted Lola, and read.  What did I read?  Something light and fluffy to get me through my illness?



Yep,  i read about the hunt for, and killing of, Osama bin Laden.  In my defense, it's a great book!  It was hard to put down. 

Luckily, I'm on the road to recovery and I think I'm finally getting better.  After 3 weeks of bronchitis, Lord I hope I'm getting better!

Oh man I hope you are feeling better..I hate being sick. Looks like fun at the play. Oh and I agree with your tweenie comment...I will be sad when Emery gets to that age!

Hope your week is better than your weekend if that is possible.

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
