Seasonal Finds

I have made a couple of purchases this weekend that I want to show you.

First, I got some Valentines Day dish towels at Target. I have several sets of these I use during Christmas and January and have decided that they are really some of my favorite towels (maybe even ahead of my Williams-Sonoma towels). Now, I've made it my goal to have a set for every "season" or holiday so that I have some in the rotation year round. Here are the Valentines Day ones that I got...

They have them in the traditional Red, Pink and White, and those were really cute, but I just loved all the colors in this set.

You can find these at your local Target. They are $3.99 for a set of 2.

Then I made my way to TJ Maxx and found some super springy shoes...

They are by Sperry Topsiders (giggle), but I thought they were perfect for spring/summer. They can be worn earlier in the season with jeans and then later with capris, shorts, skirts, etc. I also have to add that they are really comfy. I find some flats to be, well too flat. These have some arch support. They had these in a couple of other colors too. They had a french blue with navy trim and white with coral trim. They were a great deal... $19.99. You can probably find them at your local TJ Maxx too.

See! They look cute with jeans!

I didn't have too much other excitement for the weekend. I went to a pie social on Saturday afternoon. I don't know why, but every time I say that, I totally feel like I'm out of Little House on the Prairie! It was fundraiser for one of the DA candidates for my county.

Then today, my Mom decided to come and visit. We didn't really do much, but we did have lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and it was yummy!

For those of you who haven't entered my giveaway, don't forget! Time's a tickin'! Go HERE to enter.

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
