Oreo Balls

What do you get when you take oreos + cream cheese + chocolate?  OREO BALLS! yum yum.

I made some this past weekend to share with my small group.  I had a few leftovers that were taken to work, and now they are all gone.  They are fabulous.  I'm sure most of you have had them.. and probably have the recipe, but just in case, here it is.

You'll need:

1 package of oreos

1 package of cream cheese

1 package of chocolate almond bark or baker's chocolate

Crush/Grind up 2 sleeves of Oreos. (I like to use my little food grinder.  It's better to have them finely ground instead of crushing with your hands or rolling pin)

Mix together with cream cheese.

Form into little balls and place on wax paper.

Melt a few blocks of almond back. (I think I used 9 squares total, but melted them 3 at a time)

Dip the oreo/cream cheese balls in chocolate and place on wax paper.

Sprinkle with crushed oreos (from the 3rd sleeve)

 

ENJOY!

POP!

Yesterday I went to one of the cutest baby showers for my dear friend, Erin. She's pregnant with twins! A boy and a girl! The theme was POP! Everything was so cute. Balloons, popcorn, pop rocks, ring pops, etc.. Loved it.

 

  

Happy Birthdays!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Nephew Ethan!

and Happy 21st Birthday to my sweet sister, Ashley!

I'm glad we were able to celebrate with you guys this year. :)

Things I love

Just a few things I love...

This oh-so-ruffly blush pillow. I just might go buy it... :)

The colors. The bow. Love. Love.  It yells SPRING. But in a cute girl way. :)

Perfect Couples TV show.  Hilarious.

My Tyler Candle from my dear friend Ashley.  It smells amazing.  I can't believe I've been missing out for so long.

My favorite sunblock.  It smells awesome and will forever remind me of my cruise last year, considering I put it on every 2 hours or so.  I successfully did not get burned.

Ruffly burgundy necklace.  I heart you.

Jeans...

Am I the only one that thinks this is amazing?

pajama jeans?? What?  I mean.. that's like 2 of my favorite things all wrapped up in one. 

I know one other person that thinks it's amazing... Aaron.  I guess that means we are just completely lazy people that like to look stylish while we're at it. :)

Your thoughts?

Too bad they are $39.95... I don't like spending that much on for real jeans... 

Project 365 - January

I decided to embark on the Project 365 journey during 2011.  Project 365 is where you take a picture each day and share it.  I've been periodically sharing mine on facebook, but figured I would share it with my blog world too! :)

I've had a lot of fun capturing the day in a photo. Some days I have to really stretch it to come up with something and some days I have too may pictures to chose from.

Here's a collage of January 2011 photos.

Roman's first photo shoot

I just realized that I never shared photos from Roman's first photo shoot.
Here are some:

He really is adorable. :)  Can't wait to see him again!!
