Home Tour Update

Our Home

Good Morning!  Things have been a little slow around here lately, as Grant and I were able to sneak away on a little getaway.  We will be celebrating 15 years next month and decided to do an early trip while the kids were out on Spring Break.  We had an amazing time and I will share more soon.

You may or may not have noticed that I did a little updated on some of my home tour pictures.  I previously had it in a flipbook, which I really liked too, but a little more difficult to update and change as my home décor and projects changed, which happens a lot.  Even as I look at these pictures, I see a few updates I've made already :)  And we have finally started to price tile for our kitchen backsplash, so I'm hoping after spring break we can get rolling on that.

Anyways, I finally decided to just make my home tour a traditional post.  You can scroll down to take a little tour of most rooms in our home...

Spring Inspiration

Lemon Bar Recipe | Spring Tablescape | Simple Spring Mantel | Easter Table | Mini Egg Nest Brownies

We are officially on Spring Break in less than 72 hours and I am so ready!  We've had a tease with some warm weather days this week, but tonight we are supposed to get a blast of cold weather again...boo :(  But I'm still thinking about Spring and rounded up a few inspiration pictures from past projects on this site.  The mini egg nest brownies were a huge hit last year, so I'm planning to do those again this year.  You can click the links above for a full post on each if you wish to see more.

Have a great day!

Lucky Charm Treats

Hello March!  It feels so good to flip the calendar and know that spring is near.  Since we are officially in the month of March, I thought I would make some of these yummy Lucky Charm Treats to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!  Of course super easy, and simply a matter of switching out the Rice Krispies for Lucky Charms, but something a little more special with all the colorful marshmallows.  Keep reading for the full recipe...

Lucky Charm Treats

 

Ingredients

• One 11.5 ounce box of Lucky Charm cereal
• One 16 ounce bag of marshmallows
• 6 tablespoons salted butter, plus extra to grease pan

 

Method

1. Grease bottom and sides of 9 x 13 pan with butter.
2. Melt butter in large pot over medium heat.
3. Add entire bag of marshmallows and stir frequently until all are melted.
4. Remove from heat and quickly add entire box of cereal, stirring until all ingredients are blended.  Try not to over stir as the marshmallows in the cereal will start to melt too.
5. Transfer to greased pan and press into pan with greased spatula until evenly distributed.
6. Allow to cool and set for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and then cut into desired squares.

Tip

• I picked out about a 1/3 cup of the marshmallows before I started and then after I pressed the mixture into the pan, I added the marshmallows on top and gently pressed them into the mixture.  This of course just made them pretty, but the taste would still be delicious without doing this :)

Hope you enjoy!
