A Day in the Life of Summer....

Hey everyone! I'm actually on vacation this week no no delicious rice krispy treat post today. I'm know you're all heartbroken ;) Instead I decided to do a photo post.

So I've seen a lot of bloggers doing a photo journal "day in their lives" kind of thing lately. Where they take a picture every hour during a normal day in their life. So I decided it'd be fun to do too. Because I'm all about jumping on bandwagons. Following the crowd. You know. So here was a typical Wednesday of this last week, a day in the life of Summer. Get excited guys, this is the stuff Oscars are made of. Ahem.

Wednesday June 26, 2013

6:00 AM | After 15 minutes of squawking I'm resigned to the fact that my child is awake. We spend our first hour drinking our milky and cuddling in Mom and Dad's bed. (aka: my child playing steamroller, horsey, more steamroller, etc while Mom and Dad pretend they're still asleep)  

Goodbye Google Reader... sniff sniff

Wow does everyone realize that Google Reader is going away in like 3 days? Jeez, it's a harsh world out there guys. Here's just a token reminder for everyone to switch over to another feed reader so we don't lose each other! Sniff sniff.

Because I have mastered the art of procrastinating, I just switched all mine over today. I'm now a proud user of Bloglovin! I actually love it! I'm not sure if it's because of the very easy, user friendly set up... or because I really like the color blue of their logo... it's quite the debate. But either way I think you should try it out! Here's their How-To to make it really easy!

I know there are other options too... like Feedly or Digg.... although none of those have the pretty blue logo so I don't feel comfortable recommending personally. (jk, I'm sure they're great)

Anyhoo, click on the link below to start following me on Bloglovin' now! Happy Friday!!!!

Root Beer Float Rice Krispy Treats

There are some things in life that should always make the "Nothing Feels Better Than ____" list. For example, I can pretty much guarantee every time I take off a pair of high heels I will loudly proclaim, "NOTHING feels better than taking off a pair of heels!"

Graham Rice Krispy Treats

So once upon a time I went to college at a school called BYU. Many moons ago. Like any good university, BYU had an on site school creamery. A place I can say I spent many a night downing my fair share of ice cream concoctions. Now I'm totally in love with trying new flavors, I really don't like having the same thing twice, but there was one flavor I could always count on in my ice cream creations: Graham Canyon.

Single Serving Rice Krispy Treats

There are times in life when it's ok to eat a whole pan of rice krispy treats by yourself. There just are, it's a fact. But then there are times when maybe you don't need a whole pan to yourself... maybe just half a pan, jk.

Peanut Butter Banana Rice Krispy Treats

Can we talk about selective hearing today? My husband has lately mastered, mastered the art of selective hearing. He informs me that he's so good at focusing on one thing he has a hard time noticing anything else. Riiiiight... 

Rice Krispy Treat Troubleshooting

Ok, today is a no recipe post! Mostly because I'm too lazy to edit pictures,... ahem... but also because I need to address several questions I repeatedly get.

So, sometimes in life things don't turn out just as we hoped. My Tax Refund. The Bachelor Finale. The NCAA Bracket. My Car's Smog Check.... just to name a few. And sometimes, dare I say it, my cooking falls into this category as well. And it stinks. Especially when you put a lot of work into making something and then it comes out wrong. And the only thing that is worse is having no idea what went wrong.

So here are some of the top issues I've heard of/seen/had happen to me in regards to rice krispy treats:

Milky Way Rice Krispy Treats

Some days it just seems like everything goes wrong doesn't it? Anyone else have one of those days recently? Let me give a sampling of what today went like for me:

Mojito Rice Krispy Treats

So I've had this bag of lime marshmallows sitting in my cupboard. It'd been there for a while and was bugging me because I needed to use them before they got too dried out. I had another bag I used for my Key Lime Pie Rice Krispies (which were delicious, btw) but I didn't know what else I could do with the other bag?....

S'mores Rice Krispy Treats

So I saw this bumper sticker on the back of a mini van the other day that made me kind of laugh. I'm sure you've all seen it before, it's the one that says "Baby on Board!" in a yellow diamond... Does anyone else think it's ironic to have one of those on a mini van? Doesn't the fact that you are driving around in a mini van scream "I have children! Stay clear!"
