I love how we can fly in and out through blogs located for the world to view at their time. I found this blog by following another blog and fell in LOVE with it. She is a christian who has a love for the Lord and family. I wanted to document this recipe that she made. Check her out http://www.flythroughourwindow.com/
Cinnamon Honey Butter!
You’ll need:
2 sticks of butter at room temp
1 cup of powdered sugar
1 cup of honey
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
Directions:
I used the whisk attachment for my mixer and whipped the butter {make sure it’s soft and room temp}. I added to it the powdered sugar, then the honey, then the cinnamon. Whip it good.
Use mason jars and fabric and finish it off with a tag.

Learning as you go along!
Today has been very inspiring in so many ways!
First, Technology amazes me in so many ways! I don't know what I would do with out my ipod, Bluetooth, computer, and my nikon SLR camera!! They are my life and beyond words why I love those items so much. Well, these are the COOLEST beyond coolest sites www. bloggled.com and www. mozy.com
First site CAN SAVE your blog and make your very own blog into a book. Can you believe it?
I was so excited I was jumping up and down with glee because some genius created this site for all the non techies out there.
Second site is a place where you have an external harddrive online. I think I hear angels singing behind me or is that my work phone going off like crazy. Either way! It is the best invention since the OVEN!
Kudos to the smart people behind the TECHIE world.
Second, I just rel-earned(this that a word) that you can BOOKMARK your favorite websites and photos you find "googling or binging" in cyber space. Oh my holy moly, Batman! So, I was creating documents in my YAHOO cloud so if God forbid I get a brain freeze or lose my memory I would have access to my favorites.
You learn or RE LEARN something everyday!

I was craving my Christmas William Sonoma Peppermint Bark when A rat no... A rugrat named Erik A.K.A. hubby has eaten every last bite of my candy. I was so bummed and utterly crushed I went to my handy dandy computer and started researching how to make it. I came across these delish- treats.
M apologizes in advance: Blogging is a entirely different world I just recently dipped my feet into. I still have a list of things I need to research and learn to do:

peppermint fudge
PEPPERMINT FUDGE
[ fudge layer ]
3 tsp. butter, softened (yes tsp. ... not Tbsp.)
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 c. powdered sugar
6 Tbsp. baking cocoa
1 tsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
[ peppermint layer ]
2 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. milk
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
1/4 c. crushed peppermint candy (about 10-12 candies)
Line the bottom and sides of a square baking dish with foil. Grease foil with butter; set aside. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, cocoa, milk and vanilla. Spread into prepared pan. Chill for an hour until firm. For peppermint layer, beat cream cheese in a small mixing bowl. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, milk and extract. Stir in peppermint candy. Spread evenly over chocolate layer. Chill for an hour or until firm. Using foil, lift fudge from pan. Gently peel off foil and cut into squares.
Notes: A double batch fits well in a 9� x 13� pan and makes about 7-8 dozen little squares of fudge. Also, to crush the peppermint candies, I place them in a thick zip lock bag and use a rubber mallet (soft hammer). This is where my kids like to help!
Added comment: I recommend storing your fudge in the refrigerator. Chilled is always yummy! It's probably fine at room temperature.

Attention: Man room is in for 2010
It is official and into play... Erik is getting a man room! It was not an easy journey to say the least. It took a lot of strategic planning, countless hours debating, and a lot of praying for Erik to even consider turning the guest room into a "man room."
It all started when Erik and I decided to SHARE a room for our hobbies and loot. The brilliant idea was for Erik and I to have this room for each other. It was the master plan as we called it.
Well, the master plan soon begin to be a nightmare from hell. Anyone who knows my husband knows that he likes to drum. Let me define"drum" to anyone who does not know what I am talking about.
Lauren's Definition of Drumming- obnoxiously, a person uses any body part to make noise.
Somehow my husband thinks if he bangs on any surface that is noise in his book.
We are in our room when I hear Erik drumming to some Casting Crowns song. Meanwhile, I am trying to be inspired by all the happy things that is located on my side of the room while hearing all this "noise." I thought to myself he needs to be in the other room while I scrap in peace or at least listening to a chick flick being played in the background.
I had to break it down slowly to him that the master plan was off! After 8 months of countless hours of reasoning, praying, and debating the MAN ROOM IS IN FOR 2010!
