Tips to be Toasty

It's beginning to feel like spring. The sun is even out here these last couple days. It makes me so happy.
But...it's still cold, there's no denying it.
We love rice bags that we heat in the microwave.
I made the kids owls a while ago and Mackayla kind of brought them back into popularity at our house. She constantly begs for them "owl. owl."
I finally made her her own owl.
Whoo
They're in their new grandma Sylvia outfits. Thanks grandma.
My latest favorite warm drink is steamed milk. I have a really hard time drinking enough, ever, but especially in the winter because it makes me cold. Ridiculous excuse. fine. 
We bought some Torani syrups (hazelnut and caramel) for $6 and have had tons of steamed milks over the last couple months. It's cheaper than going and getting one at the local coffee shop and tastes exactly the same! 
Plus microwaving a cup of milk and adding a bit of flavor is pretty quick and easy.
I made croissants the other day. It's always been something I've bought but they're pricey.
I used less than half the butter in the recipe and they were soooo good and definitely more healthy.
More healthy, not a health food...I have a weakness for carbs.

Love those cute rice bags. I totally am a sucker for carbs too. Love my bread.
