A Weekend for Waffles n' Stuff

By -
This weekend I decided to make waffles. I saw a recipe for Pumpkin Waffles  at Whatever Blog and decided it was time to bust the ol' waffle maker out. Do you call it a waffle maker or a waffle iron?? Regardless of what you call them, the waffles were super yummy!!! 



My coveted Anthropologie measuring spoons my husband gave to me for my birthday last year! 



Delish Blackberry Syrup!

My favorite thrift store dinner plates.


I have a thing for collecting dinner plates at thrift stores. If I see a set I like, I snatch it up and add it to my collection. That way if one gets broken it's no biggie! I recently found these polka-dot plates at the Goodwill. They are just so fun and cheery! I walked past them about 5 times before putting them in my cart. I'm really glad I did!



 I really love going to thrift stores, it's seriously one of my most favorite past times. I was in a thrift store yesterday and as I was walking outside, my dad pulled up in his car and was there to do some thrifting himself! It was awesome because we totally did not plan this, nor did he know I was there! This is not the first time something like this has happened. We're just cool like that.

The weather here is gorgeous! And you know Spring is right around the corner and that makes me so happy! Longer and warmer days are my style. (I am so not a winter girl... and yet I choose to live in MN????) Well I guess the Spring, Summer and Fall make it worth it to live in this beautiful state!

Hope you're all having a splendid weekend!

I love waffles. We don't even have a waffle maker, though! And we bought our first blender, in 8 years, last month. We are lame.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
