Oats n' Honey Whole Wheat Bagels!

The Little Red Hen asked.....

Who will help me make the bread?

Today in Mommy school

we read the story of the Little Red Hen

and followed it up with a lesson

on how to make whole wheat bread.

We had a lot of fun mixing and

kneading the dough together.

When the dough finished rising for the second time,

the kids were out enjoying the sun shine

and I thought it was the perfect time to

try something new.

I have been dying to make bagels.

So with a little help from my favorite cookbook

The Bread Baker's Apprentice.

Here is the finished product.

Yummy Oats n' Honey Whole Wheat bagels!

My first attempt at dress making!

My brother in Law was getting married and I wanted something special for the girls to wear. I had been looking for weeks but I just didn't like any of the dresses out there! So I got an idea that I could make them! My husband thought I was crazy, Because I wanted to use the material from some old curtains we had. Well the idea blossomed and this is the result!

First I drew up a pattern from a dress Megan had. Then I changed the skirt to look like one someone from church made for her daughter.

Then I saw these great flower headbands online at crewcuts, Jcrew.com! I thought, "I could make those too!" So with a trip to the sewing store for a few odds and ends I was able to make these cute dresses for just a few dollars.

So cute and modest too! I even made one for Megan's American Girl doll. When I get a chance I'll make her a hairbow too! My well rounded motto:

You can't succeed, if you don't try!

Do you have an idea that's been eating away at you? Why not give it a try? You may be on to something!
