A Shut-in no more

Today the temperature has hit 43 degrees and the sun is shining!  It feels so warm!  I went out and shoveled off some of the snow on my driveway.  I thought if I could get the snow out of the way, then maybe the ice would melt off.  Aside from me essentially doing the splits, the plan worked pretty well.

After a few hours, I was able to get out and go to Walmart.  It was nuts.  There were people packed in there, and unfortunately, the groceries were not equally packed in there...

This was the egg case.  No eggs, just a sign saying "no eggs".  Way to state the obvious Walmart.

While Walmart is not normally my idea of an exciting outing, I was excited to get out today.  I did slide a little getting back up my driveway, but I made it into the garage.

Lola and I have just spent the day watching more tv.  I've cleaned out my DVR and have moved on to watching Pillars of the Earth on Starz on demand.  I thought the book was great, so I thought to give the mini-series a go.
    This photo really has nothing to do with anything, I just think Lola is adorable the way she carries her Ellie around.  She normally drops Ellie the second I try to take a photo of her doing this, but she didn't today.

I'm shocked at your Walmart pic. I went to Kroger and it was FULL of food! I was expecting it to look like your Walmart but was happily surprised. How fun to actually spend a day out of the house!

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...
