February??
Had a great Valentine's Weekend! Friday we did dinner, Chad stole my car for a wash and detail and then delivered three-dozen roses. (Thanks for nothing FedEx!) Today we enjoyed the opportunity to play 27 holes of golf...the 14th of February! Also saw two blue birds on the course. I am looking forward to the upcoming snow today and tomorrow. Finished the night off with a favorite beverage.
What...Oreos???
I catch some crap at school about Oreos...was recently told that I have an "Oreo Fetish." The funny thing is, everyone seems to really enjoy that fetish when I bring them Oreo Truffles!!
Birthday Treats
There are some days you give a little silent cheer when the birthday treats don't stop in your classroom. Then there are those days that you are so very glad they did!
PD on VD
This title only makes sense to teachers...Professional Development on Valentine's Day. I'm a part of our Staff Development team and Kim, our Building Resource Teacher, asked me to tap into my Pinterest skills and help with decor and snacks. How could I say no?!?! The funny thing is, I began looking through my Valentines pins, I realized that I needed more pins!! These were the centerpieces I made for today. They were a big hit with the coworkers and were a lot of fun to make!
What's a Girl to Do?
How could I choose between posting a picture of roses or Oreos!?!? They both have their advantages and disadvantages!
Roses...I'll take any of them!!! I do have to say it looked like LOVE had thrown-up at King Soopers. ;) As for the Oreos, I had to make a quick decision (in the main isle....someone hot on my heels) to go with marshmallow or cookie dough. Once home, thinking that I should have gone with the cookie dough.
Valentine Treats
These are easy and fun treats to make for your coworkers!
Ingredients:
- square pretzels
- chocolate melting chips (red, pink, white)
- decorative sprinkles
Directions:
- Heat your oven to 200 degrees.
- Place as many pretzels as you can, in a single layer, on a cookie sheet.
- Place one of the chips on each of the pretzels.
- Place cookie sheet in the oven for approximately 4-5 minutes. Keep an eye on the chocolates and when they start to get shiny and soft, you can remove them from the oven.
- Immediately sprinkle the melted chocolate with your sprinkles and let the treat cool.
- Once they are cool, place in decorative bags or tins.
