With Acceptance Comes Healing and Happy Hallowpink

Let me start by saying thank you to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for hosting Pink Saturday.

With Acceptance Comes Healing

Last Saturday I came to terms with the fact that there is a difference between want and need. I began to realize and accept the fact that the Pink KitchenAid Mixer would not be mine. Yes, it was difficult at first, but I have moved on. I have realized that others could be just as loved in my kitchen. Meet my new friend, she can mix, she can stir...she's Pinkie the spatula (she has a little sister named Pink).

This picture doesn't do her justice. She's just covered in batter, but she loves it!! In this shot she's helping me make our favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies (by the way I use 1/4 C more flour than called for). Don't you just love her?

HAPPY HALLOWPINK!!

I don't know about you but I love decorating for the Seasons, but I don't love putting away my pink. So I don't. I love the way this cat (a decoration from my childhood) looks perched in the pink window. The little scarecrow lamp came from the dollar store (which make him all the more lovable).

Fancy That, acceptance has brought even more pink into my life, and Pink can be a friend to all colors even the Halloween kind!!

In "Ghoulish" Style

The decorating has begun!!!

I'm sure we will add a few things here and there, but we have a great start. Now I don't want to mislead any one, our decorations aren't very sophisticated. Most of them have been picked up at places like the dollar store, and were chosen by children!!

The "Ghoulish Style" Stylists...

Just A Sample of their work...

This is hard work mom can we take a break!!!

Why of course (I say), I'm not that much of a witch,

Why don't we watch some movies...

Now Little Goblins It's Off To Bed!!!

We'll have caramel apple French toast in the morning!!!

This was a fun change from our ordinary french toast. I didn't have a recipe I just cooked the apples in a skillet with about 2-3T butter, when they were softened I added brown sugar, and a little more butter. I used my usual French Toast method (3-4 eggs, 1/4- 1/2 C milk, 1t vanilla, and brown sugar to taste, dip the bread in mixture and place in skillet to cook). Remove the toast from the skillet and top with apple mixture, drizzle with caramel syrup and top off with whipped cream.

I got this little shirt done on the embroidery machine too...

It didn't turn out just perfect. But, I guess thats what I get for letting a 2 year old choose the designs. He loves looking at the designs on the computer and then waching them stich out on the machine!!!

Fancy That, We're all decked out in "Ghoulish Style"!!!
