Planning the Sweet 16!

-
A child only turns 16 one time. Over the course of history, the age of 16 is one of the big celebrations. When a child turns 16, they are considered to have come of age. Yes, legally they are still a minor, but they have added responsibility.

  • They are in high school and must think about their future
  • They can get their driver's license
  • They are expected to start looking for work in many cases. 
Due to the history, we decided that we would do something epic for Mackenzie's Sweet 16. 

Plans: 
  • 5 day CRUISE to Grand Cayman and Cozumel! 
What kid wouldn't want to have a week long celebration, right? So we decided a few months ago to purchase a cruise and take her out on the open sea! Watch for some upcoming posts as we start to shop for the things we will need. 

SPOILER: There will be a formal wear shopping trip in the future! She's not looking forward to that because she hates to try clothes on, but she knows it's for a good reason. 

So, if you have great deals on anything we may need, please post in the comments :)

Chocolate Brittle Surprise

-
Last night, knowing that my brother often has a sweet tooth at night, I made some Chocolate Brittle Surprise. Here is the recipe since I promised I would put it here for Candice: Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Then lightly spray with pan spray (like Pam). Line the cookie sheet with saltine crackers. Boil 1 cup butter and 3/4 cups of brown sugar for 3 minutes. cover the crackers with this butter/sugar mixture. Bake at 400 for 5 minutes. Then put 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips over that immediately after it comes out of the oven. as it melts spread the chocolate so it evenly coats the crackers. Chill the brittle in the refrigerator or freezer until hard. Crack like you would peanut brittle, then store in ziploc bags in the freezer. Yummy! Amanda makes this all the time and since I wanted something cheap and easy to make, I made this. It is so goooood! Kenzie is at school and I am about to work on my Research Paper for school. Hope all is well. Maddie has ...

Lots going on in the future.

I have joined up with a group of my friends and we are planning some get togethers. We will be doing play dates at each other's houses. We are hoping to be able to do a christmas party in december. i am also hoping that in the future we can have some mdo activities (mom's day out). in addition to this we are working on a recipe book to share our favorite recipes. we are also doing a babysitting swap starting soon so that we can just swap with one of the girls. I would watch April's two kids so she can have mommy time, and she would swap another night with me to watch my two kids. I think it will really work out well for all of us. Kenzie is starting to learn some sight words. She can already recognize the words I, A, and Can. I know it is only three words, but she is learning that is what matters most at this moment. I can't wait for her to learn more words as she progresses in Kindergarten. Maddie came up to me today and said, "MOMMY BATHROOM!" so ...
