30 minute rolls

Image
 I have tried many Pintrest recipes and most of them have not turned out as ones my family enjoys.  But this one is an exception.  I absolutely LOVE this recipe!  I love it because it uses things I already have on hand and it takes little time and effort on my part (as long as I set timers ;)   ).  My family love it because it tastes amazing! I found it on this blog  Your Homebased Mom ...although I have tweaked it a bit to fit our lifestyle a little better it still turns out great! 30 Minute Rolls 1 C plus 2 Tbsp hot water 1/3 C oil 2 packages of ready to rise yeast 1/4 C sugar 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 egg 3 1/2 C all purpose or bread flour Heat oven to 400 degrees. In your mixer bowl combine the water, oil, yeast and sugar and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Using your dough hook, mix in the salt, egg and flour.

Tooth Fairy vs....The Toothless Pirates

Okay so I decided the Tooth Fairy was just way too pathetic.  We never did the whole tooth fairy thing when I was growing up so to me its not such a big deal.  I also don't believe in giving kids a bunch of money for something that every single person in the world goes through and no one has had to actually work to get a tooth out (okay so some may work harder at getting it out sooner then others, but really it would come out eventually either way).  Now my mom did have a good idea in the fact that if it is a healthy tooth with no cavities or brown spots it gets money and the last tooth will get a bunch of money as long as no baby teeth had cavities (none of the previous ones that fell out).  I feel okay in doing this because they at least had to work to keep the teeth in a healthy condition therefore they earned the money and it wasn't just given to them for not doing a thing.

An Easy Savings Plan

Okay so I got this off Pintrest.  This is a site that has the info! http://www.savingadvice.com/articles/2013/01/10/1013660_52-week-save-money-challenge.html    This was NOT my idea LOL! Week 1 save $1 Week 2 save $2 ...... Week 52 asve $52 By the end of the year (52 weeks) you will have over $1,000!!!! This is awesome! I'm going to do the first 26 weeks and I will have $351.  Then if I don't think I will be able to go up to $52 I'm going to start the first 26 weeks over again.  That will still  give me over $700!
