Think spring...it may get here!

When You Kiss A Frog...

It definitely turns into a prince! (If my animation shows up, that is ;-)

Explorers

Captured by the Lens

An oldie but goodie.

Winter Snowstorm

Well I don't see the animation, but it's supposed to be snowing. Maybe once I hit publish it'll snow ;-)

Whole Grain Pancakes

My kids *L-O-V-E* it when I make these pancakes...or better yet, waffles...so here's the recipe.

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup quick oats
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbs Ener-G egg replacer
3 Tbs maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups buttermilk

That's it...and you know how to mix and then make pancakes, so I won't bore you with all of that ;-) Stay tuned next month for maple syrup time!

Ironing

So, today the girl tween found "new" clothes in her closet. (See, sitting in there doing schoolwork proved useful after all ;-) It's hand-me-downs that now fit. So, in a fit of industriousness, she cleaned older clothing out of her drawers and is ironing items that were not fit to be seen in. Yes, the child is doing all of this work. So I should turn into new clothing and beckon her to do chores, and she would run willingly to do them, right?
