Winter decided to show up!

Well look who decided to show up- Old Man Winter! I'll admit it's pretty but I am still not a fan of Winter!

 

View from the back door! 

 

Manly gift wrapping

I came up with a creative way to make my hubby's vday present a little manly. Valentines day is all girly, let's face it! I had some left over brown paper from Christmas and wrapped the boxes in that then I got him a belt and used it as the "bow/ribbon". What do ya' think?

Disney Parks InsidEars

I am so excited to get to be a BETA tester for the Disney Parks Insidears site. If there is a reason to talk Disney I am there so this will be so much fun! Check out my badge on the right side of my blog ;)

Music

I love this song my sister introduced me to. The message is something I wish all kids/teens understood but I guess sometimes hindsight is 20/20....

2 Ingredient Donuts

These are the BEST fried donuts ever. My dad used to make these when we were little and it was always exciting! Now, they are not healthy in any way, but the are delicious!

All you need is a tube of biscuits and some powdered sugar! (And a deep fryer or pan of oil.) Get your oil hot while you are cutting your biscuits!

 Ok, see that little grey thing at the bottom right of the pic, that is a cap from a 2L pop bottle, this is your little friend for making the hole!

 

 

Now most of the time I just cut the biscuits in fourths and make all donut bites, but sometimes it's fun to make real donuts! Once you have your biscuits cut and ready it's time to get your powdered sugar shaker ready! I have used a brown bag before or a tupperware bowl that has a good tight lid! 

 

Ok, now just put your biscuits in the hot oil and fry them babys up! You will need to flip them once to get both sides fried! 

 

Ok, now just take them out, put them in your powdered sugar, shake, shake, shake and BOOM- delicious, easy donuts!!! 

High Five for Friday

Ok, first link up, hope I'm doing this right!

All you do for this "link up" from From My Grey Desk is go over your week and choose your 5 favorite things! So lets see...

1) Monday Bible study with my "monday makeover" group. Love these girls, currently we are studying Crazy Love by Francis Chan.

2) My kids both had GREAT reports at their conferences this week. Smart, well behaved children are a blessing :)

3)I almost can't say this but I am thankful for the rain! I don't particularly enjoy rain but it's much better than SNOW! 

 

4) My mini donut maker is awesome! I found a great recipe that I posted about yesterday!

5)I found some copy cat leopard TOMS at a local store for only $15, they are not as nice as TOMS but they were cheap! :)
