Well Isn't That Pinteresting!

I am smack dab in the middle of planning Mads 7th birthday party.

Where does the time go?

Mads has decided she would like a Hello Kitty Luau themed party this year. Do you know how hard it is to find Hello Kitty Luau? It's REALLY hard! But, we are making it work.

Thanks to Pinterest, I have been able to morph a few ideas together.

You know how much I love Pinterest but one of my FAVORITE things to do on there is find cute party ideas. If you can think of a theme, someone has pinned something to go along with it.

Here are a few of my FAVORITE themes from Pinterest.....

This Monster Bash party from Kate at And Everything Sweet is SO cute! She even let you design your own monster cupcake, how cool is that?! While you are checking out the post about this party, be sure to take a look around her blog. She has some pretty AWESOME cakes on there and TONS of other party ideas!

Heather, over at Chickabug, put together some AWESOME Sesame Street party ideas! I LOVE the tissue paper puffs made to look like our favorite friends (number 3). You will also find great party ideas on her site as well.

I think this Baking Party featured on The Party Dress would be SO fun for a sleepover! For the "treat bag" each girl was given a cupcake in a jar. FUN!

Now! Let's get to MY dream party! If I were to through myself a party RIGHT NOW it would be one, or both, or a mix, of the following parties:

This Sugar and Spice party, featured on Sweet Designs (a blog by Amy Atlas), is just breathtaking! I LOVE the torn fabric garland, the puffs of cotton candy, the colors, just everything!

I also LOVE this Sweet as a Peach party, featured on HWTM Daily, is equally as breathtaking as the Sugar and Spice. The cake is just AMAZING! The warm glow of the candles, all of the goodies. It's just beautiful!

So, there you have it! My favorite party themes from Pinterest! Isn't it so Pinteresting? I would LOVE to know some of your favorite themes, feel free to link to them in your comment.

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
