Gracie & Flossie ~ 1 Year Old!

My sweet little hens, Gracie & Flossie have bought such joy into my life! It is so fun to be a keeper of hens. I love gathering their sweet eggs each day. They just keep on giving! 
Many have asked how many eggs does a chicken lay in a day, the answer is 1. It doesn't take long tho to make a nice dozen to give as a gift! This dozen went to one of my daughters.

Here is a recent picture of the girls.

The girls are 1 year old this week! 

A Barred Rock & a New Hampshire Red.

Large to extra large brown eggs.

I love baking with fresh eggs!

My hubby loves cooking up a nice breakfast using them! 

How do you like your eggs?
I like mine scrabbled with some cheese and I always add some Cholula (mild hot sauce)!

Have a wonderful day!

Another Conversion to My Laundry Soap!

My sweet friend Aunt Ruthie at Sugar Pie Farmhouse just made up a batch of my laundry soap and she loves it! She posted about it!

Make a visit to her blog here if you haven't met her yet! She's a real sweetheart! xo
P.S. Ruthann is the darl'in that told me about Buttermilk Pie! Recipe on my sidebar, 
along with laundry soap recipe.

Another Tea Party!

My dear friend Kari gave another one of her beautiful Valentine Tea Parties! I am always thrilled to be invited. She is gracious, loving and a joy to be around.

This year she bought some darling heart~shaped teacups & saucers of different colors, so with that she ran with it!

***I used the "antique" effect to my photos. The photos remind me of the 50~60's when fancy parties were the norm! Memories!

Kari's beautiful home. 
Place settings...

My sweet table...pink, how did she know?

A little garland I made Kari a couple years ago.

The food...oh my! We each brought a goodie.

A few close ups...

Kari served herbal teas of all kinds and refreshing water with berries & lemons.

I loved stirring my tea with a cinnamon heart sucker! Flavored the tea perfectly...heaven.

She gave us each these darling heart measuring spoons. Each has a saying on them: "a dash of kindness, a pinch of bliss, a spoonful of devotion & a heap of perfection".

We also exchanged a handmade Valentine card. I forgot to take a picture on mine!

Thank you sweet Kari for another rememberable day. xo

P.S.

EASY Cinnamon Pull~Apart Bread!

This is a EASY way to make Cinnamon Pull~Apart Bread with Rhodes frozen rolls and it tastes heavenly! My daughters make it and I thought I would give it a try! 
Hubby gave his big stamp of approval!

Here goes!

Spray pan. Add 12-18 Rhodes frozen rolls.

Add: 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 3/4 tsp. cinnamon. Mix & sprinkle over frozen rolls.

I added a handful of chopped nuts~optional.

Let rise.

Bake for approx. 20 minutes.

As soon as it is out of the oven, turn upside down on a plate. 

For frosting mix together:

4 cups powdered sugar, 1 stick of butter, 1 tsp. vanilla & enough milk to desired consistency. 
**You can half this because you will have some left over for the next batch! Just freeze it!

Drizzle (pour!) over top while still warm.

Yes, I used a little to much...heehee!

You can pull it apart or cut with a knife.

Soooo good!
