Pastry and Standing Around

I'm going to start of today's post with a delicious recipe for pain au chocolate. Hmmm, let me tell you, this is delicious with coffee....or just by itself. It's super easy too! I was able to whip up a batch to send off with Tom as he went on a golf outing up north with a couple of friends.

Because Hans went down for a nap and I'm about to as well, I'm just gonna put the link to the recipe here

With the help of Blue Cotton Memory's step by step instructions with pictures, it sure made this recipe easy peasy.

Voila...

I just can't end this post without showing off Hans' latest craze. He is working very hard on his standing. He is a determined little boy and loves, loves, loves, to pull himself up to stand on. every. thing. He is practicing hard everyday which has led his mommy and daddy to place bets on when he'll start standing and walking on his own. Anyone else want in on this {friendly} bet??? =-)

    This is definitely one of my very favorite recipes! I made the ganache a few days ago so I could make it when I had a minute. I think when the boys come home from school tomorrow - I'll have some waiting for them fresh out of the oven! Thanks for spotlighting my recipe!

10 Minutes to a room you'll love

I'm wondering what my husband will think when he asks me "What did you do today?" and my answer won't involve shopping! Wait, I take that back, it DID involve shopping....shopping from my house (Nester Style)! The Nesting Place has been having a series on how to re-vamp rooms in your house in just 10 minutes. She encourages you to find things around your room and just add some changes here and there. I was inspired and decided to rise and shine early Saturday morning (with the help of some snow blowers outside) and apply these strategies to our ever so desperate bedroom.  I have really neglected decorating our bedroom until about 10 minutes ago so please don't judge the before pictures!  Keep in mind that I'm NOT finished yet and I may just end up going shopping OUTSIDE of the house for a few things. However, this 10 minute make-over has made our room just a bit more cozy!! Step 1 : Make the Bed  *Before* *After* Step 2: Personalize it.  Create a tables...

It's a ....

We had the big 20 week ultrasound today and decided to invite the family over that evening for a gender reveal! Tom and I found out during the ultrasound and kept it a secret (which was super hard to do, even for a few hours!) until we had our family over. We found this really cute idea on how to "reveal" your babies gender from our friends here . We made cupcakes And inside of the cupcakes we filled it with colored frosting (pink for a girl, blue for a boy...not telling yet, wait for it....) Hans was so excited for everyone to get there (see? it was even hard for Hans to keep the secret!). He ran and got daddy's shoes and was putting them on by the door. Everyone chose a plate and a cupcake and we went into the living room to bite into it together... And...... IT'S A GIRL!!!!! Hans is already learning how to blame things on his little sister...tsk tsk. Hans, we totally saw you eat the cupcake, silly! We missed a lot of family members that really wanted to be the...
