A Hope and A Prayer

So I mentioned a couple of days ago that this week was going to be busy. I've decided to fess up about what I'm going to be doing so that y'all can pray for me...

I'm refinishing my Mom's kitchen cabinets (and maybe entertainment center and another cabinet/nook thingy). As I told my friend Abby, "for some reason she thinks I can do this". This could possibly be for a couple of reasons: (1) I'm not really scared of projects, and (2) I re-did my own kitchen cabinets (just in a different way).

My Mom showed me Paula Deen's kitchen cabinets and said "I want that". A blog that I follow, My Sweet Savannah, has recently re-done her's and they look similar to Paula's, so I'm copying her plan.

Here's a pic from My Sweet Savannah of her's (this is my goal)...

so say a little prayer for me, would ya?

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
