This is what happens when...

This is what happens when Lola doesn't feel she gets enough attention on any given day...

I come home to messes like this, and this...

Ever wonder why God made her so darn cute?

So I wouldn't strangle her when I come home to find she has shredded my new package of pink tissue paper or a Neiman Marcus shopping bag

This is what happens when:

(a) I'm really sick of seeing all the dead flowers in all the pots around this place (it looks like the Adams Family around here!), and

(b) the stinky Paperwhites finally die...

I get some lovely non-stinky flowers for my kitchen window!

This is what happens when I think to myself,

You know, I haven't made cookies in a very long time...

My house turns into a cookie factory on a Saturday afternoon!

I made big hearts and little hearts...

and a few sets of lips

I had big plans to make them really fancy and pretty, but as you can see, that plan crapped out somewhere around hour 3 in the process!

I love those cookies. Especially the lips!

Poor Lola! She was just wanting to play. Daisy is the same way!

My puppy, Brody, does the exact same thing! He gets so mad when we leave in the mornings to go to work...so he'll find something to shred.

He really likes stealing socks!

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
