I'm Happy = Giveaway!
I'm super happy right now...which I think deserves a giveaway!
Why am I in such a good mood? Well, there's a story about that..
So I lost my keys on Friday.....like the really expensive to replace electronic kind.
I tore the house apart, looking in places that would be totally impossible...but I didn't want to buy a new one for $400!
Thankfully....I found them this afternoon...in the last place I would think to look. Wanna take a guess as to where they were?!
The first person to guess the right place will win a pair of Spring Earrings!
Guess away friends, guess away!

HG's Shamrock 'n' Roll Shake
Now, I'm hoping you have all had a Shamrock Shake from Mc Donald's at some point. If not, you should try one. I looooove them. Every year I get my one small Shamrock shake and I drink it guilt-free knowing I only do this once a year...so clearly it must be ok, right?!
Shamrock 'n' Roll Shake
Ingredients:
1 tbsp. sugar-free French vanilla powdered creamer (like the kind by Coffee-mate)
3/4 cup light vanilla soymilk
1/2 cup fat-free vanilla ice cream (like Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Fat Free)
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
2 drops green food coloring
1 no-calorie sweetener packet
1 1/2 cups crushed ice (8 - 12 ice cubes' worth)
Directions:
Combine creamer with 1 tbsp. hot water and stir to dissolve. Transfer to a blender. Add all other ingredients to the blender, and blend at high speed until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
MAKES 1 SERVING
I didn't put the packet of splenda in, I felt like it was sweet enough without it. And I also didn't put the full Tbsp of creamer for the same reason.
Well, thanks to Hungry Girl (Love her!) now I can have my shake and drink it too!!
(More than once a year, that is.)

Not an exact match, but soooooo good and close enough that I'm happy!
Enjoy your day!!
Going Green
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Sorry for the crummy camera phone pics!

Dr. Seuss' Birthday
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.
It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.
Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
- Dr. Seuss
Ok, so I know Dr. Seuss' birthday was almost two weeks ago, but we celebrated a few days late at work to coordinate with the school festivities and I still wanted to share with you all!
Dr. Seuss is one of my favorites....so lovable! All his stories are so clever and fun. It seems only right to have a party in his honor....and what's better than a Birthday Breakfast Pajama Party?!
So in celebration of his birthday, we made...
I tell you, for a kid who hates all foods green, he sure gobbled this up!
After breakfast, we played Dr. Seuss bingo and made "Cat in the Hat" sun catchers from construction and tissue paper.
I think it's adorable! He certainly had fun making it!
In the afternoon, we made rice crispy treats that I cut in to a hat shape and decorated like the Cat in the Hat's hat. They had a great time with this, and enjoyed eating it too!
Once the hat was done, I rolled the extras into little balls and dipped them in chocolate and sprinkles.
Fun is good.
- Dr. Seuss
