Summertime Sweety

At this point, we are in the thick of Cold and Flu season... I have had a cold for the past week, and I am soooo not loving this :P I thought I might put together a Cold and Flu Survival Kit for you all, so you can be more prepared than I was. Just a note... Keep in mind that I am not in any way shape or form a doctor and you should consult yours before taking anything, these are just my suggestions. You are gonna need a good Pain Reliever ! Having a headache, sore throat, or just being achy in general sucks... Trust me you will need it If you are all stuffed up with a cold a  Decongestant  will be a God send. It will give you a few minutes where you can get something done besides blowing your nose! Coughing your head off? Cough Drops , learn to love them. Personally I can't stand the things, but they work! You need to keep tabs on how high your temperature is going in case you need to go to the doctor or hospital, so keep a Thermometer handy. Tissues , and pl...

Cinnamon Goo Ingredients: 1/3 cup Brown Sugar 2 teaspoons Cinnamon 4 tablespoons of Butter, melted Directions: Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until the mixture looks like wet sand.

Beat the eggs for about 2 minutes until light they are yellow and lightly foamy.  Increase the mixer speed  and pour the warm butter into the eggs slowly. Once the butter is added, reduce the mixer speed . With the mixer still running, add the milk, vanilla, and salt. Mix for 1 minute until well combined. Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Add to the bat...

Once again, I am going to Pigeon Forge for my Birthday! But this time, I am going with my best friend! Aren't we just adorable?? :P I am done with the whole "Trips with the boyfriend" thing, and it's not that I don't like my boyfriend!

This has been a month of quite a few firsts... I got my first job!! I am working at a daycare with kids ages 2-12 in the afternoons after school. I am really liking it, and I don't have to work weekends or Holidays so is is great! And then I got my second job... Back in the Summer I asked my cousin about having a job in his clothing store, and he told me that I could be a gift-wrapper closer to the Holidays. So I am doing that on Saturdays! I mean, I'm not complaining (much), I am making good money! But oh my gosh... I have been so tired! I started out the month making Triple Salted Caramel Cupcakes for my Mommy's birthday! The next semi-interesting thing I did this month was go to my neighbor/sister(sort of) wedding! I was a Guest Book Person/Dress Fluffer and Holder/Unofficial Bridesmaid... In all reality I have absolutely no idea what I was! But it was a pretty wedding, and we had fun :) This was her getting her hair done... Her and her (now) husband dec...
