3 Minute Miracle

I will admit that I am a creature of habit – I have eating yogurt for breakfast with some sort of cereal for over 10 years. Every Morning. If I don’t the whole day just seems wrong. If I find a product I like, I will used it over and over and over for years. Coming to Germany interrupted some of my habits, one of which was what hair products I use. I have yet to find shampoo/conditioner here in Germany that I really like. Until now…. 
When I was in high school, I started using Aussie hair products. They were no where to be found in Germany. I have missed them. 
While I was standing in line at the drug store last night, something in the shampoo aisle caught my eye. I am somewhat sleep-deprived at the moment so it took some time for me to process what I was seeing. I looked and looked and realized I was looking at the familiar Aussie logo. MY SHAMPOO! IT’S HERE! I left the check out line and picked up this 3 minute miracle pack. Oh how excited I was to use it. It’s the little things that bring a smile :)

Robin’s Birthday

This year when I asked Robin what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday, he told me he wanted penguins. We had seen a penguin “cake” on Facebook and the idea stuck. So, here we are with a penguin birthday cake.

The “ice” they are sitting on is a rice cake with a yogurt glaze. The penguin body is meringue covered in chocolate (I bought it at the store). The beak, feet, and chest are all marzipan. The eyes are frosting with a sprinkle in the middle.  Here is a close-up:

The left-overs were also enjoyed. Here is what happened to the penguins the next day – penguin sandwich.

Reupholstered chair

We have this chair… it has great “bones” the the chair but it didn’t quite look the way I wanted. I painted it white about two years ago. Since then, I have been searching for fabric I liked to cover the seat with. It took quite some time, but I finally found something. Here is the finished product.

Just in case you missed it

Welcome December

Let it snow… and snow.. and snow… ok, so we only got about an inch, but that is quite a bit more than nothing.
