'Tis the Season for Pinterest - Baked Oatmeal


{Click above for recipe}

These were very interesting to make. First of all it makes a ton! After a few days of eating and eating these, I got very tired of them and so the remainder of them went bad. However, if I ever made them again, I would definitely cut the batch in half (and remember to put the milk in them).

'Tis the Season for Pinterest - Baby Doll Diapers & Wipes


{Click above for tutorial}

Pinterest is not only about food although that is probably the majority of items I "pin". Recently I bought a sewing machine off Craig's List and one of the first things I made (with the help of Chris' aunt) was diapers for Elianna's baby dolls. She is going to be super excited and I'm going to be excited that she won't snatch real diapers and wipes and try to use them.

They were pretty easy to make (I made them and I'm not a seamstress). I bought a package of felt pieces from the Dollar Store but since they were pretty thin, I folded them in half and sewed along all of the edges to reinforce them a bit. Instead of the wipe holder the tutorial gives directions for, I am simply going to buy a real wipe holder, empty it of the wipes and let her have a "real" one with "her wipes" in it.


*Update:  Elianna absolutely loves them and has even requested that I make more for the rest of her baby dolls.

Sissy said:  We have made these at least twice. I did leave out the mint and the fish sauce. And make sure you use Iceburg lettuce. Very easy & super yummy!

'Tis the Season for Pinterest - No Bake Chocolate Chip Granola Bars


{Click above for recipe}

Very easy to make! They were a bit sweet (honey honey honey) so next time I will cut down on the amount of honey used.


'Tis the Season for Pinterest


Have you heard of Pinterest? Become addicted to Pinterest? Here is how the all-knowing Wikipedia.com source describes Pinterest:

Pinterest is a pinboard-style social photo sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections such as events, interests, hobbies, and more. Users can browse other pinboards for inspiration, 're-pin' images to their own collections or 'like' photos. Pinterest's mission is to "connect everyone in the world through the 'things' they find interesting" via a global platform of inspiration and idea sharing.

December will be a month of ideas found on Pinterest - Saw It, Pinned It, Tried It, Reviewed It.
