Do You Like The Edges of the Brownies the Best?

If you're like me, you LOVE the corners and edges of brownies! They are chewy and delicious! YUMMY! But, there's limited parts of the brownie pan that are this amazing! So, here's a tip to make a gooey brownie close to the way I love them!!!

Here's What You Need...
-A gooey browie from the middle
-A spoon
-A plate
-Powdered sugar

1. Put the brownie on a plate
2. Start to smash the brownie down with the back of the spoon
3. Add a little bit of powdered sugar and continue to squish it with the spoon
4. Make the brownie mush a thin layer across your plate
5. Let it sit for a minute or two, but don't let it get stale!
6. ENJOY!!

Happy Mother's Day

Moms. They do a lot. I want to be respectful to anyone who has a hard time on this holiday. Maybe your mom isn't here anymore, maybe you used to be a mom and something happened, or maybe you want to be a mom so bad and it's hard to be patient. Despite all of that, I'm sure everyone knows a mom, even if she's not your own, who needs to be appreciated. My mom is absolutely amazing! She recently took a trip to Ukraine a few weeks ago and it took almost five people to help take her place while she was gone! Five people! Wow! That really put things into perspective for me. Of just how much she really does. And its not just the cooking and cleaning stuff. It's the late night talks, the encouragement with school, the hugs when I so desperately need one, even just a smile. She's always there when I need her no matter what. When I do something great, she's there to praise me. And when I have a hard day, she's there to talk to. That's exactly what a great mom is, there. A mom that is always there even when she's busy, is a wonderful mom. I hope to be exactly like my mom some day with my future children. I just want to say 'thank you' to all the OUTSTANDING mothers out there that really really deserve to be celebrated today. You are awesome! Now go and celebrate your moms!!

Hallie's Mothers Day 2018

For mothers day this year I decided to go cheap. I was looking for a sugar scrub she had received a few years ago and re-gift it. I know that might sound horrible, but hear me out! Our linen closet is kinda just a throw all, or like a giant junk drawer! We have all kinds of stuff in there; sheets, towels, wash clothes, batteries, cleaning supplies, candles, nail polish, soap, shaving cream, razors, hair curlers, more candles, contacts, old glasses, travel soaps (LOTS), first aid stuff, even more candles, pillow cases, I think you guys get it, we have lots of random stuff in there!

I changed my mind and decided to clean the linen closet for her! I cleaned out the top drawer and organized it, cleaned the shelves, and organized the towels, rugs, hand soaps, and lotions. Then I tackled the second drawer, full of random stuff, like totally random everything and anything! By then I was kind of almost over it. I pressed on and finished! I also found a whole bunch of spa type stuff!

I found a gift bag from Easter and added the spa stuff into the bag. I remembered we had some mini jars and wax cubes. If you've never seen it on Pinterest and don't know what i'm talking about its little car scent things. You put a few wax cubes into the jar, and poke holes into a cup cake wrapper or the jar lid. You then take the rim of the jar lid and screw it on! Put it in your car so when its warm the wax will melt and put off a wonderful scent! My dad cleaned out an old candle jar and we gave it to her too. I found an old notebook of mine and my dad and I wrote 20 reasons why we loved her (10 each) and finally my dad gave her flowers to plant because she loves plants. 

I did all of that yesterday, and so this morning when we woke up I made her some cheesy scrambled eggs (my parents favorite thing for me to make) and toast. After she finished her breakfast we gave her our presents, we managed to make her cry so I think my dad and I did great!

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there!
