Christmas Shopping

My Mom came to town yesterday and we took care of her Christmas shopping. I picked out my own presents as I always do, but one of my gifts that I'm very excited about will complete my bedroom re-do...my Mom is getting my chair recovered for me! I'm very excited. I picked out a very pretty fabric and Mom hauled my chair to Nocona to take to the upholsterer. I can't wait to see it. It will really complete the whole look (of course so would curtains, but as I've said that is a story for a completely different post!).

I didn't do that much shopping because I've done most of my Christmas shopping, but I did buy something for my adorable little pup.

I bought her a new sweater at Dillards. I saw it and couldn't resist. It is black with red trim and has these little ball things that are all over it. She isn't loving it, but as soon as the temps drop, she will.

P.S. Dear Blogger, All I want from you for Christmas is to put spell check on your updated editor. I've been a very good girl this year, but this having to go back and forth between editors for each post makes me want to do very bad things to you.

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
