Peanut Butter Granola Bars

I love snacks!

I'm sure you're not surprised considering my addiction to sugar.  But these peanut butter granola bars consist of wholesome ingredients like unsalted almonds, oats, coconut oil, etc. so I don't feel as bad when I grab one, or two :), for my midday snack!

I also love the simplicity of this "no-bake" recipe! Oh...and they are absolutely delicious too, especially considering the fact that I didn't like granola bars until I made these.  That should tell you something!!!

Prep Time: 10 min | Chill Time: 2 hours - overnight

Trendy Little - Jeans

Madison is like her father in so many, many ways.  Considering all I've done, you know, carrying her around for nine months and birthing her and all, you'd think she'd get something from me.  Nope, all daddy.  I tend to let it slide since they're so cute!

With that said, finding jeans for this little lady is quite a task.  She's tall and slender so jeans are either long but baggy at the top or fit perfectly at the top but too short.  Thanks to Old Navy (I LOVE that place) we finally have a winner!

Rack Room Shoes | Boat Shoes {exact}

Gifted | Hair Accessory

Their boot-cut jeans for baby fit her like a glove! She was too cute in these jeans yesterday and such an awesome model, I might add!  You can best believe she'll probably be wearing this one pair at least twice per week (you know you do that too :))!  I'll be stopping by Old Navy to get her a backup pair now that I know they're a go!

Seeing her all dressed up in jeans, a t-shirt and boat shoes walking alongside me and taking it all in gets me all worked up at times.  I can definitely see a big girl starting to emerge and it's such a bittersweet revelation!

"Busy Doing What?!?"

"Busy" lying in the yard with my little lady.

I was watching 7th Heaven yesterday and there was a scene in the beginning where a man was trying to offer the mom, Annie, a job selling her extraordinary muffins in his shop.  She declined saying that she was too busy.  She was at home raising five children (Sam & David were yet to be born).  She said that she was too busy in front of two of the children and they promptly asked -- "Busy doing what?!?"

The mother's expression was that of shock, of course.  Raising children takes so much work and does indeed keep a mother rather busy, stay at home or not!  That doesn't mean that one's children understand all that a mother does for them.

So it is my prayer that as I and my child(ren) get older and they make such remarks that have the potential to sting, unknowingly of course, I hope that I'll take the time to remember that they may never truly know the magnitude of my sacrifice and the time I put in with them.  At least not until they have children of their own :)!

From one mother to another...

I did not have my mother very long, but in that length of time she cast over me an influence which has lasted all my life...my mother was the making of me! She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint."
