LONG RAMBLING, HODGE PODGE POST AHEAD…
Well, let me just start of this long overdue post by saying HAPPY EARTH DAY! What a beautiful day it is! The sun is shining, the temperature is perfect and all of the trees and plants are soaking up the niceness. We plan on hanging outside today in the fresh air and planting some pretty flowers to celebrate. But, enough about that.
Changing gears completely… Do you ever wish there was more time in a day? I do. I would add an extra 6 hours if I could. Yes, 30 hour days would be nice. Maybe then I would have time to get everything done or just most things. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve had an over abundance of fabulous blog posts that I wanted to share. I had great expectations of getting a lot of things accomplished in fact, but the blog fell by the way side, along with homework, housework, and pretty much everything else in our lives. I felt overwhelmed and when I feel overwhelmed, a whole lot of nothing gets accomplished. I mean, who really wants to study the common cold when there are dishes in the sink, dust bunnies on the floor and a clothes pile the size of Mt. Rushmore to wash.
Oh, and then there is that small person I call my child that needs my attention from time to time. So, what do I do when there are 2 millions things on the list? For some reason, I think it’s a good idea to change the look of my blog and go hang out with my friends. There is nothing like pretending that you have all of the time in the world to mess around. Except for when you snap back into reality. That’s when you really kick yourself. And maybe cry. Just a little.
OK. Enough of that rambling. Here is one of the fun little ditties I wanted to share.
A Shout Out to My Peeps
If you have ever run into the problem of having excessive amounts of extra Easter candy, have I got a fix for you! (FYI – we never have this problem, but I thought that maybe someone out there might.) How about mixing things up a little and eating your Peeps a new way? We had so much fun messing around with these that I felt it was too selfish not to share. Here are 4 fun and easy Peeps recipes to give you the perfect sugar high.
1.) Peeping Hot Chocolate – Throw one marshmallow peep on top of your steamy mug of hot chocolate for a delicious treat.
2.) Chocolate Covered Peeps – Use those extra Hershey Kisses you have lying around. Melt them in the microwave and then let your peeps go for a dip in the gooey goodness.
3.) Peeps Smores – Just as easy as it sounds. Substitute your normal marshmallow for a Peep.
4.) Rice Krispie Peeps – Melt 1 tsp. of butter and one Peep in the microwave. Mix well. Pour in ¼ cup of Rice Krispies and stir. It is the perfect amount of sweetness for one.
