Organization Week 3~ Pantry

The Pantry has always been the hardest for me to organize and make it look nice since you can see it from our kitchen and livingroom. 

Is it silly that I want it to look Cozy too?

After finishing in the Pantry, it was "National Chocolate Cake Day" and I was able to find all of the ingredients so I baked this 

It tasted so Good and didn't last the week! 

If you have any ideas on how to improve my pantry or know of any new Gooseberry patch books that are out now, Please let me know!

Here is another tour of my finished newly organized Pantry, hope you enjoy!

Going Gluten Free...Have You?

So Richard has been told by his DR to attempt to go Gluten Free due to health reasons. 

This has been harder than we thought. 

ALDI has their own brand of Gluten Free called "Live G Free" which has been so nice on our grocery budget. 

We are trying the Brownies and Cookies this week. The brownies were very chocolatey but a tad powdery. The Chocolate Chip cookies were so tasty, Richard liked them more than the Brownies, hence why there isn't a picture of them!

Do you eat Gluten Free? If so, What are some of your favorite items in the Grocery store?

Christmas Re-Cap

Christmas was a very nice time here at the Graves Household, both G'mas came over along with my sister and even though there were moments of drama mixed in, the kids had a great time. I decided to not film them opening their presents this year like I have done last year because I got some very rude comments about how we had not given the oldest daughter enough presents..I'm not going to even acknowledge them since my oldest daughter is very happy!

We went over to my Step-Sister's and helped her bake/frost cookies and we had a blast!

We ate and ate and today I'm happy that Husband bought me a new bike so we can step up our riding this year! I'm having a great time riding with Husband, great excercise and we get to spend time together outside, something I have missed since moving from the farm.

On Christmas day my Scentsy lightbulb blew out and I bought a Wal-Mart Limited Edition Peppermint candle and we were so disappointed in the scent throw of this candle, even being in the same room with it and we could hardly smell it. What are your fav. store bought candles? I can't always run to BBW for their Slatkin candles or Yankee Candle store.

I leave you with a few pics that I was able to grab with my Iphone as the kids were grabbing seconds of Christmas dinner and one of us at my Step-Sisters frosting cookies.

Picking Cherries...

Our cherry tree is full and for the last week we have picked and baked and given away the cherries.

I'm thankful this weekend for the cherries that GOD has given us.

Enjoy your Weekend.
