It's True, Baby Girl is "2"

I can't believe it's true, out lil' pumpkin is two!

 Let me see, my lil' pumpkin….

  is a mama's baby
 loves her brothers
 repeats everything like a little echo
 rules the house with her feistiness
 has the vocabulary of a five year old
 can't get enough hummus
requires little sleep
squeezes the bajesus out of you if she gets really mad
says, "I wuv you so big"
runs to the door everyday to greet Daddy after work
cuddles with me all night
only uses the potty on her terms
puckers up for kisses all day
loves to be my helper
belly laughs when tickled
says hello to everyone
is a magnet to babies
has a lip gloss addiction
first one to ask, "are you otay?"
has the most stunning eyes ever
made our family complete

and has stolen our hearts forever!

(Recipe) 

Bring it on terrific twos!!!

Easy No-Bake Chocolate Bars for my Respectful Little Cougar!

My little man came home with THREE cougar cards in one day explaining he was caught being RESPECTFUL, and I was one proud momma!!!

I'm not a fan of rewarding good behavior, but I do like to celebrate accomplishments and hard work, so I picked up his best buds from school for a little afternoon fun!

My intentions were making chocolate bars with his friends, but Top Gun ate all the chocolate chips the night before, not realizing they were a key ingredient.

After a trip to the grocery, it was on like a chicken bone!

Easy Peasy 

Healthy Ingredients (for the most part, if you don't buy cheap chocolate chips like I did)

No bake

DELICIOUS

Ingredients

	1 cup peanut butter
	2/3 cup honey
	1/2 cup coconut oil (no substitutes, this is what gives its creamy texture and flavor)
	2 cups oats (not instant)
	1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips
	3/4 cup dried cranberries

 I used craisins instead of cranberries because that's what I had in my pantry!

Directions

1

 In a medium sized saucepan, melt together (I just mixed it in a bowl) peanut butter, honey and coconut oil.
Remove from heat and add oats, chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Stir until combined and chocolate chips are melted.

2

 Spread into pan. Refrigerate until hardened, about an hour. Store in refrigerator.

My favorite thing about this recipe is the fact that it doesn't have any raw eggs, the kiddos can lick the spoon and preparing bowl until their little hearts are content!!!

Enjoy The Journey!
