Number Puzzle Redo with Modpodge

 I love these things. I can't explain why.

The wooden number puzzle had some wear to it.  I saw this as an opportunity to make them even more colorful.  My daughter loves these too, though she's still learning you can do more than just take the numbers off and spread them throughout the living room.

With some Modpodge, and scrapbook paper, we got this:

 Did I mention a lot of cutting! shew!

I got the paper for $0.10 cents at Joann Fabrics.

Coffee Bean Tea Light holder

I recently ventured into Hobby Lobby after a 2 year hiatus.  I found this glass for $1.99 on sale half off.
I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it at the time.

I like Coffee beans for many things.  We have a Pod Coffee Machine Now (a Keurig) so we don't have much use for whole beans.  I don't even own a grinder.  I put these into with some vanilla tealights I had.  Looks pretty nice, and not flammable.  I bet the rocks you can find at craft stores would be great too.

Morning Oven Hashbrowns

 Hashbrowns are one of those things that I dreaded making from scratch.  You really have to watch them on the stove, so the outside doesn't burn while the inside is hard.  Plus, in the morning, I usually have too many things going at once, and haven't even fit in my morning coffee (Which I need!).

I decided to use my oven instead.  They were awesome.  And I was able to get Claire ready for the day, while Breakfast was on it's way.  In the last 5 minutes, I started the eggs, threw in some toast, and Breakfast was served. 

Ingredients:

2 Potatoes, peeled and chopped into small bites

Olive Oil
Southwest Chipotle Seasoning by Mrs. Dash
Fresh Chives

Directions:
Turn Oven to 400 F degrees.  Toss potatoes with olive oil and seasoning.  Spread on a greased pan and bake for 20 min or until golden brown, turning potatoes once after about 10 minutes.
Add some fresh Chives and Serve.
