S'more Treat Mix

Summer is getting closer and closer! The weather is starting to get up in the 70's more consistently here!

When I think about summers I think about being outside around a campfire and I love making s'mores! It isn't always practical to do that, so I found an easy snack alternative for when you can't make s'mores around the campfire.

S'more Treat Mix

Ingredients
  • Chocolate Chips or Hershey's Chocolate Bars (I used the mini bars)
  • Graham Crackers
  • Mini Marshmallows
Directions
  1. Spread out wax paper or foil on your kitchen counter.
  2. Take between 10-15 squares of graham crackers and break them up into smaller pieces. I made each square into 4 pieces.
  3. In the microwave melt your chocolate in 30 second intervals ( I used 6 mini Hershey bars)
  4. Once smooth, take a spoon and drizzle your chocolate over your broken graham crackers
  5. Take about 1 big handful of mini marshmallows and sprinkle over the graham cracker and chocolate mixture.
  6. Let this set up on the counter or pop it in the refrigerator to set up more quickly.
  7. Store in a airtight container for a couple days (if it lasts that long)!
Enjoy! You could also use graham cracker sticks or teddy grahams instead of normal graham crackers!

Until next time,

Kara

Ways to Save Money on Groceries

The Hubby and I have been together 8 years this month. We have been together since we were freshman in college.  The unique and fun thing about our relationship is that we have kind of grown up as adults together.  When we were in college we both were living year to year on what we earned from working in the summer months. That means we never could be extravagant with what we purchased for groceries. We learned pretty early how to budget our money to stretch it as far as we could.  Now that we both have worked full time for 5 years, times have changed, but I still love to save money. There is no better feeling than getting a great deal! Here are a few ways to save at the grocery store: Digital Coupons : These are so easy and help save big. I mainly grocery shop at Kroger. It is super easy to register your Shoppers Card to instantly download digital coupons to it. This is what I primarily do to save our family money. I try to combine the digital coupons with Kroger sale

Spring Break in Las Vegas

Once again we traveled to our favorite place.... LAS VEGAS! We had four days packed with fun. The weather was great while we were there. In Indiana, however, it was terrible, so a good week to miss! By now everyone should know we are planners and love to get good deals. Well Las Vegas is a town of deals if you look close enough. Before we went we were able to snag some items from our MyVegas game on Facebook. We had two FREE night helicopter tours over the strip, a complimentary picture with the helicopter, two FREE show tickets to KA at MGM, two FREE show tickets to The Beatles LOVE at the Mirage, and two 2-for-1 Buffet tickets to the Mirage buffet. All those items together were valued at over $600. We paid $0 for them. I also got some items off Groupon for super cheap! So before we even left we had planned out what nights we were doing what and so on.  We arrived in Las Vegas on April 1st and headed directly to our hotel. This was our first time at Harrah's. We loved our locat

Being a Mom is Hard Enough...Being a Perfect Mom is Impossible

I'll be the first to say it, being a mom is hard. I LOVE MY DAUGHTER, she is one of my two bright spots in my day (my hubby being the other). I never realized until she came along how hard tackling being a wife, mom, career, house, and life would be. I am a hard-worker and Type A personality. I like to do things well and on the first time, but there isn't enough time in the day to do it all. The expectations that have been set by society or other mom's isn't what I have to be and I need to remember that. I read an article by Simple As That , it was talking about how we need to stop letting perfectionism ruin motherhood. It really hit home. My Hubby and daughter don't care if I'm not dressed in fancy clothes with my hair in place or cook a 5 star meal for dinner, they will remember if I was present and engaged with them in whatever we are doing.  I've felt like I have blinked my eyes and my daughter's 2nd birthday is approaching. Time goes by so quick
