Horn Family Chronicles: Accidentally Delicious

http://hornfamilychronicles.blogspot.com/2013/04/accidentally-delicious.html

And the results were surprisingly delicious! I say surprising because not all of my recipe alterations are successful). The result was a cookie bar with just the right amount of sweetness and a hint of very complementary coconut flavor. Think almond-joy cookie. Yum! If you're looking for a way to use up that leftover chocolate Easter bunny, try out my modified recipe below. Chocolate coconut cookie bars. 1/3 cup white sugar. 1/3 cup brown sugar. 1/2 cup coconut oil. 1 cup whole wheat flour.

Horn Family Chronicles: We have an estimating winner!

http://hornfamilychronicles.blogspot.com/2012/01/we-have-winner.html

We have an estimating winner! You win the prize! You came the closest to guessing my actual total in paying for the lot of brand new shoes pictured below. Christina guessed $12. VERY CLOSE, girl! I actually paid $12.84 for the above 8 pairs of new kids' shoes from a Payless going out of business. The rest of the guesses ranged from $15 to almost $30. Nice try, people. I wasn't kidding when I said I was Cheap (yes, I capitalized that word on purpose - I'm cheap with a capital. For both of us. :) haha!

Horn Family Chronicles: 01.2012

Lest you think I have it all together. A friend of mine recently shared some thoughts with me from the book Lies Homeschooling Moms Believe. This guy runs through a literal gamut of comparison and envy issues plaguing moms. Check out the list of lies he says we believe:. Everyone else's kids are better. Everyone else's home is cleaner. Everyone else fixes better meals. Everyone else is more disciplined and more spiritual. Everyone else's marriage is better. Everyone else can do it all. And that is NOT me.

Happy birthday to my baby boy! Our dear Solomon Asher Horn hit the two year milestone today. I'm just astounded at him. Solomon has grown SO FAST. I know this is a common occurrence for youngest siblings but it's especially true of our Solly. He abandoned sippy cups months ago and he's even trying to copy Clive in the urination department. I'm hoping and praying having an older brother to model the process will speed the potty training process along significantly! Since Solomon's absolutely favorite dvds...

Last time I visited my sister-in-law I noticed this simple but brilliant way to showcase her daughter's artwork. It looked simple anyways. Black metal frames opened up from the outside so you could constantly change up the artwork showcased. And then I looked these frames up online. $39.95 for a black picture frame to show off my kids' art? I don't think so. I have so. Many better ways to spend $40. Taming the wild mane. It's no secret that Chloe's hair is wild, thick and easily-tangled. Poor girl ha...

Horn Family Chronicles: The only way to make iced coffee

http://hornfamilychronicles.blogspot.com/2012/06/only-way-to-make-iced-coffee.html

The only way to make iced coffee. In my naivete I used to think that iced coffee was simply made by pouring leftover cold coffee and milk over ice. Believe me, I've tried that *several* times with varying success. Mostly it made me grimace and I'd swallow the mix down wondering why so many folks liked to drink the horrid tasting stuff. UNTIL a good friend of mine introduced me to the cold-brew method of making coffee that is. Her cold brew coffee was absolutely scrumptious! There's one more thing you nee...

What have I been up to? Not blogging that's fo' sho! Summer has been glorious, hot, fun and whirlwind-esque thus far! I WISH there was a way to push the slow motion button on time to soak up these sunny carefree days. Here's a photo highlight reel of what I've been doing instead of blogging:. Celebrating my mom's RETIREMENT! Now if she'd only listen to reason and become my live-in nanny . . . Gardening, weeding, watering, picking and canning. Snapping self-taken pix with my super cute grandma poolside.

It's been a little more than a week now since we arrived home from our whirlwind tropical vacation. Now that I'm fully into the at-home routines again, it's odd to think of where we've been and all that we did a few weeks ago. It was momentous really. I'm so glad we captured it all on camera or I'd be tempted to think I dreamed it all up. One day on the beach Clive asked me in typical 4 year old earnestness, "Am I dreaming right now mom, or is this real life? Though Matt is kind of scared of the ocean's ...
