Winter Activities!

Hey Everyone! It's ~O~ here! It's been snowing like crazy for the past few days! Even though this has been the "long awaited snow" I'm ready to say good-bye to it! I wanted to blog about my favorite winter activities!

So my #1 favorite activity is snow skiing! I have been a few times and it is definitely a fun and challenging activity! So, the first time I want, I was 6 and I lost my first tooth! I was very proud! Haha! So, advice....to start, I started on what they call the "Bunny Slope!" It is by far, the easiest slope, which is good since I'm not a big dare devil! Then, with some encouragement and help from some friends....I moved onto the "Intermediate slope!" I rent my ski gear from the ski lodge! Anyways you will need:

1. Warm clothes!!!! I wore like.....3-4 shirts, 2 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of pants, ski bibs and a coat!
2. Ski Boots
3. Ski's

My 2nd favorite snow activity is sledding! We normally sled down our backyard hill! It's so much fun! I sled with my sister and sometimes my dog tags along! After we get to the bottom of the hill, dad pulls us up on the four wheeler!





And lastly, I enjoy making snow cream! Here's a recipe!!

1 gallon of snow

1 cup of white sugar

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

2 cups of milk


Hope you all have a very blessed week! Enjoy the recipe!

Hello there!

~C~

Hi there! It seems like a long time since I have posted anything! I'm sorry this is a few days late, our area got a lot of snow. I hope each of you had a merry Christmas and happy new year! It is a very busy time of the year for my family and I! ~O~ talked to you last week about good T.V recommendations... Today I will be giving you a recipe for blueberry and lemon scones. I do a lot of baking and this is something I recently made and really enjoyed!

2 Cups all-purpose flour
1/2 Cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 Cup cold butter
Zest and juice of one lemon
3/4-1 cup heavy cream
1 Cups blueberries (toss them in extra flour)
1 tsp vanilla

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add butter to bowl cutting it into the flour until the largest clump of butter is the size of a pea and flour resembles course meal. Add zest and juice of lemon. Stir in 3/4 cup heavy cream. Press dough together in-between your palms, if it doesn't just stick together add more cream. Add vanilla extract and fold in blueberries.

Pour dough onto lightly floured pastry board. Pat dough into a large round disc about 1 inch thick. Cut dough into equal sized wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake scones for 20 -25 minutes or until lightly golden.

Hope you enjoy this recipe!!

Good TV Show Recomendations

Happy 2016 Everyone! It's ~O~ here! Last year was a very adventurous, fun, exciting, blessed and sweet year! Can't wait to see what this year holds! Today, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite TV shows! And, I'm the type of person that likes recommendations for good and wholesome TV shows because today....there are very few of them!


So, the first TV Show is, "Fixer Upper!" Chip and Joanna Gaines are a "dynamic duo" that fix up older homes into their clients dream home! They are so talented but most importantly they share a family bond like no other and love Jesus!  They live in Texas with their 4 sweet children! Here's a preview of "Fixer Upper!"

 

One of my other favorite shows is, "Bringing Up Bates!" It features Gil and Kelly Jo Bates, who have chosen to trust God with the number of children they would have....the Lord blessed them with 19 beautiful and healthy children! They reside in Tennessee with their children.  Here is a quick introduction to their show!

Another favorite is, "The Willis Clan!" They are a musical bunch with 12 talented and sweet kids! Toby and Brenda Willis (Dad and Mom) really placed the love of music into their kids at a very young age.  Today, they inspire to share the love of music with many people! They travel performing beautiful music and just being together as a family! Here's their audition on "America's Got Talent!"



Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to read our blog each week!

Blessings, ~O~
