Happy Moms Don't Scream

Yesterday I went into the girls' rooms to declutter while they were safely tucked away at school. Far away from interfering with the task at hand.

And would you look at what I found . . . Stinkerbell's note stash. It's basically an organizing bin stuffed with scraps of paper and cards that she has written to people, but never sent.

A diary of sorts for a five-year old.

Since I'm a snoopy Mom, I read every last one of them. Hey, I didn't know about this secret place and it was quite a hoot to discover it.

She's telling someone else to be nice? That's a little ironic. She's like her Mama, other people tell us to be nice, we don't tell them.

Wait a minute . . . what is THAT?!

Oh dear. Happy Moms Don't Scream? I don't know where she gets this from? Oh, I mean frum.

I don't know about you, but I'm always cool as a cucumber.

Hmmm, is it because I'm always threatening that my head is going to pop off and spin around the room if she doesn't start listening to me? I must ponder this.

Treats for My Sweets

I found these cute little tin mailboxes at the Target Dollar Spot right after Christmas, and I couldn't resist. I'm not the only one that snapped these up either.  I've seen them on quite a few blogs this month.

I'm only sorry that I didn't pick up more, because I think they make great gifts.

My plan was to hide these and decorate them for the monsters for Valentine's Day. Well, I have no impulse control, so my girlies have already seen them. In fact, they've been begging me to decorate them since I brought them home, because they just can't wait to play post office with them.

They're decorated now, and now that I've snapped some pictures, they're going into hiding until Saturday morning.

I've tucked a few little goodies into their little mailboxes. Not too much though. We're on sugar overload in this house.

I'd give you a tutorial on decorating these little guys, but I think Emily did a fabulous job, so I'm just going to send you over to her. Enjoy!

Jalapeno Popper Spread

Before I talk about this recipe, I want to thank everyone that voted for my Chore Charts over on Tip Junkie. I really appreciate your love and support. Now, don't be sad, but I'm really tanking over there right now. That's okay because I'm up against some super talented ladies and I'm just happy to be running with them for a bit. They're some of the many women that inspire me.

Now, the stuff you come here for, I have a super easy recipe to share with you today. This one came from Peanut Head's cousin, Alison. She knows that I'm always feeding hungry croppers at my house, so she's nice enough to pass good recipes on to me. Thanks Alison! Oh, and do you think anyone in the family would have an embolism if I posted the super secret Rose's Chocolate Cake recipe? Please?
