Home Sweet Home

Here it is post about our Home Sweet Home, we have a lot of work ahead of us, but that always goes along with a house.
We are very excited about all the work and creating a home that will be ours for many years to come. We have so many
hopes and dreams and one day at a time we will fulfil each one.

Those double window's on the second floor is going to be our bedroom, the window to the left (looking at the picture) is the dining area and to the right is the living room... then you have this little thing off to the right I like to call the chicken coop (it was an addition that was built by the Amish) at first it was going to be our bedroom that is what it was built for but I decided that I didn't want to be that far away form the girls as their bedroom (which is on the second floor). So we are going to put a wood stove in it because it has electric heat in it now, and us it as a living room, we will put our TV in there along with the toys and I will be able to set my sewing machine in there as well so I can work on my projects and the girls can keep busy in the same room as me. I think GREAT idea!!

another skirt

I made myself another skirt, I am slowly learning what style I like and the placement of the zipper I prefer!! Which means I am happy with the outcome, I saw this material at Hobby Lobby when I was picking up somethings I need to finish a Tinkerbell Nightshirt for a certain little Tinkerbell of my own! I thought I would make the perfect Fall skirt and easily wear into winter plus I have tons of sweaters I can change the look up!!

teeth

Eva had her first Dentist appointment on my birthday... Tuesday!! I was so impressed with how well she did, not one whimper or whine came from her. She didn't refuse at all she was such a big girl and made me so incredible PROUD!!! She is my girl with the beautiful teeth, she got those from her daddy, he has perfect teeth minus the cavity problem he seems to have... I'm sure years of Pepsi and snickers doesn't have a thing to do with it!!! Now my little Amelia yeah she has my teeth which means she will most likely need braces, thank you mom... cause I'm pretty sure that's where I got them from since my dad has pretty nice teeth also!!

Way to go Eva, you are becoming such an amazing little lady!!

Farmland Flax Cookies

I've branched out beyond the trusted chocolate chip cookies we are all so fond of. In search of a healthy snack for the whole family to enjoy and everybody loved them including the cookie monster (aka PaPa)

Try them for yourselve and remeber the possiblities are endless you can and any little sweet great to them...


Farmland Flax Cookies - A popular cookie that everyone loves.
Butter 1 1/3 cups
Granulated sugar 1 1/4 cups
Brown sugar 1 1/2 cups
Flax seed- 1 1/2 cups
Large eggs 3
Vanilla 1 1/2 tsp
All-purpose flour 3 1/2 cups (try a mix of whole wheat flour/all purpose)
Baking soda 1 tbsp
Oatmeal 3 cups

In a bowl, cream butter and sugars; add flax seed. In another bowl, beat eggs and vanilla together. Combine with flax mixture. Sift together the flour and soda. Mix in oatmeal and combine with other ingredients. Form dough into 4 cm (1 1/2 inch) round logs. Place in freezer and chill. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice into .5 cm (1/4 inch) medallions. Place on baking sheet leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) between cookies.
Bake 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from sheet and cool Yield: 108 cookies (5 cm/2 inches) I'd toss in some raisins and dates, some cinnamon and a dash of ginger too! I bet 1/2 of a mashed banana or even 1/2 cup of diced apples would be lovely in this recipe too!
