TGIF! 

We have had a busy week and a have a busy, but fun weekend planned.

My boys had their first soccer games last week and String Beane had his last basketball game.  String Beane played a great game of soccer and it was clear that he had improved from last season.  He also scored a goal in his basketball game!  He was thrilled.  Butter Beane is on a 4 year old soccer team.  No one on the team has played soccer before.  It was like watching the coaches try to heard cats!  Butter Beane did enjoy playing and loved being on the field, but he has a long ways to go to score! 

They each will have a soccer game tomorrow and I can't wait to watch them!

Here are my top 5 favorite finds for this week.


Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels with warm Salted Caramel


Beer Battered Shrimp Lettuce Wraps


Salted Caramel Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies


Mexican Pizza


Peeps S'mores

Welcome to the weekend!

We have a big sports weekend here.  My little Butter Beane will play his first soccer game on Saturday!  He is so EXCITED.  He is number 81.  He tells everyone.  If you see him, he will tell you he is #81.  You should have seen them practice last night.  It was so funny.  There is nothing like watching a bunch of four year olds try to play soccer....for the first time.  It was like herding cats.

String Beane will also play his first soccer game of the season.  He will also play his last basketball game of the season. 

I am tired and excited thinking about all of it.

Here are my top 5 favorites for this week.

Pretzel Bottom Brownies

It's finally Friday, Internet Peeps!

We have a big weekend planned.  String Beane will have his first basketball game Saturday morning.  We are all pretty excited for him.  To say that we are not very athletic would be an understatement.  But, we try hard...sometimes.  String Beane has been pretty determined in basketball this season.  He started doing push ups two weeks ago because he said he wanted to score his own basket and not the kind where his coach helps "pop" the ball in the net.  (String Beane can shoot the basketball to the bottom of the net, but that is about as high as it goes.)  Miracle of miracles happened last night.  He came home from practice and said that he had scored two goals!  I looked at Mr. Homegrown for verification.  It was true!  Two goals!  String Beane went to bed on cloud nine.    I am so hopeful that he has a good game tomorrow. 

Here are my top 5 favorite finds for this week.


Gooey Butter Cake
I am making this for dinner tonight.  It looks good!


Oreo Cookie Bark


Molasses Bars


Chocolate Chunk Coconut Ice Cream


Cherry Lime Aid Sugar Cookies

Well, I clearly have sweets on the brain.  I blame New Year's resolutions.
