Yummy.....

This is my favorite treat,it's prefect for Valentine's Day!
Be careful there kind of addicting!
Super Easy & the kids can help.
1.) Ingredients- square pretzels, Hersey's kiss candies w/carmels, & a bag of M & M's
2.)Place Hershey kiss on top of pretzels in the oven @ 325 degrees for 4 min.
I have been cutting the tips off the candies. It helps the carmel melt.
3.) The kisses don't melt all the way. Remove from oven.
4.) Place the m&m's on top firmly & your done!

We officially have no more babies at our house! After 4 years of back to back kids we sadly no longer have diapers, cribs, or baby chairs. The week after Ella's 3rd Birthday she came home from daycare with a letter informing us she had until February 9th to be potty trained or she was getting kicked out! Can you say panic!! I've never done daycare before and had no idea there was such a rule. After lots of starbursts, knuckles, and high fives we've achieved success! She was dead set against it but after just 2 days it was done. She only had one accident. So the best advice I've been given for potty training is......
If they pee or poop their pants they have to take a cold shower. It works! I know it sounds really mean. It's tough love but I only had to do it once. Ella went back to daycare for the first time today and she was great all day with no accidents! I can't believe it worked! What a relief.

What would I do with out my sisters.....

I always think how lucky I am to have a bunch of sisters and not all brothers! When it comes to sisters I feel like I hit the jack pot. My sisters are some of the most creative, beautiful, caring, funny, and talented people I know. I would be lost with out them. Even though they can talk me into doing things I don't want to.... Like performing SNL skits at birthday parties in front of perfect strangers. I can't imagine my life with out these 3 ladies and wanted to give them a shout out. They have helped me through hard times and always seem to have the best advice. I am grateful to have 2 little girls who will one day love being each others sister!

Top 10 Things About Having Sisters:

1. They'll help you decorate your house and pull together last minute card club ideas so your not a loser.

2. They always know what to say and how to put you in your place.

3. You have a best friend for life.

4. You can share each others clothes.

5. They make the best shopping buddies because they'll tell you the truth.

6. You get to go on a sister -cation once a year. ( vacation with your sisters )

7. You inherit awesome brother in laws because they all married great guys.

8. Never a dull moment.

9. Your surrounded by other women who look like you and talk like you. Suddenly you don't feel so tall.

10. There's always something to look forward to when we get together.
