What about you? What are you thankful for?

Waffles Anyone???

You know how when you turn the clocks back in the fall you wake up Sunday morning feeling like you have all this extra time. If you are anything like me you may even decide to go the extra mile and serve your family something beside cereal or yogurt for breakfast. Well this is how I spent that extra hour... cleaning the stinking waffle maker. Thankfully I have had success with the waffle maker in the past so I am not scarred for life.

A friend told me a few months ago that I should call my blog "Teresa's Perfect World".

I would like to dedicate this post to her. :)

Easy Holiday Decorating

I have seen this idea on several different blogs and wanted to pass it along. All you need is a 12x12 picture frame (I found mine at Michael's) and some holiday themed scrap booking paper. After you put your paper in the frame you can write any message on the glass with a dry erase marker.

My friend Kim teaches kindergarten and she had the idea of using this in her classroom and letting each child take a turn dictating the "daily message". Love it!
