Cinnamon Candle

I LOVE the look of those cute little candles with cinnamon sticks all the way around them. I don't like the price though!

What you will need:

Candle of choice

Cinnamon Sticks

Directions:

For this size candle I used 2 bags of sticks.

At first it took a bit for the sticks to stick to the candle but, once my glue was hot enough I did not have a problem.

Place Candle on surface, I used a piece of wax paper on my table to protect it.

Determine the best placement for stick. It helped to move the stick around a bit to make sure it was a good fit before gluing it on.

Place hot glue on stick, not candle, then place on candle. You will want to hold it in place for just a few seconds.

Repeat until you have no open spots.

Add ribbon to dress it up a bit more if you would like, or just leave it as is.

I thought it needed a bit more Oomph so I added a bow. I just used a hairbow I had lying around that I had not had a chance to finish yet.

Yes, I know the bow is a bit BIG but, I like it.

The other great thing about this candle is I don't even have to light it! The cinnamon smell is awesome! I suggest if you plan on lighting the candle to spray the sticks with some sort of flame retardant, the sticks can catch on fire very easily. Use caution and common sense.

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet! Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up. I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this. FREE is ALWAYS good! I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail. I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results. I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it. You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal} 12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f

Granny's Flitters

I love my family! There are so many things I love about each person and also about all of us as a whole. One of the things I love about my family is we love traditions. Today I am going to share just one of the many traditions we have.....FLITTERS! To me when I think of comfort food, I think of Flitters. It was a special morning to wake up to the delicious smell of flitters frying in the morning. It is one smell that every time I smell I am brought right back to childhood and great memories. I am not really sure where the name "flitters" came from or if someone just made it up. I can tell you how it got started though! My Great, Great Uncle Orville's mom (Grandma Cook) baked bread. On the days she would make extra bread dough she would invite all of her grandkids over for a flitter night. She would make her bread and then the extra dough she would roll out, cut into strips and fry up for the kids to enjoy. That tradition was then passed to my
