Happy Mother's Day Weekend

I'm going to tell you the truth, I haven't been very productive this weekend. I had a super busy week last week and I know this coming week is going to be super busy, so I've been a lazy butt this weekend.

I kept this little toot for my parents on Friday night...

I finally got some good pics of little Milly. I got copies made of about 35 pics for my Mom for part of her Mother's Day.

I also cut some roses from my garden. All of my Earthkind varieties of roses are going nutso!

My "Climbing Pinkie"...

"Seafoam"...

"Fairy"...

This photo is actually a little old and now the bush is completely covered in pink roses! I cut a ton off of this bush last night and made a very pretty arrangement for my coffee table.

Since my rose bushes have gone so nuts, I need to move two of my other shrubs that I had planed in that bed. The bed is just horribly overgrown and those shrubs don't stand a chance. I think they would be perfect over on the side of my house, but since I've been unproductive this weekend, you know that hasn't gotten done!

Well that's about it for my boring weekend. I hope that all of you have had a Happy Mother's Day weekend!

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
