Summer Snack | S'more Butterfly Trail Mix





Summer is coming to a close, but here is a snack you can enjoy year round to remind you of your summer camping trips!

All you need are Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (but I used store brand, TASTES THE SAME, and cheaper if you're on a budget like we are), mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips.

I combined the cereal, marshmallows, and chocolate chips in a bowl and started sorting them into baggies.  To make the butterfly, just divide the mix in the baggie into two sections and put a clothespin between the two sections.

Super cute snack that is fun for your kiddos!
Also great for teachers who teach thematic units!  Camping is always a fun theme!


Enjoy!

A Letter to My Husband




Dear Brian,

I just want you to know what a blessing you have been in my life.  You know who I was, you know what I’ve done, and you’ve never judged me.  You have helped me create a new life that I can be proud of.  You have helped me forget the past and make a future.  I am so glad that God put you in my life and opened my eyes to what an amazing love we could have.  My life has changed drastically since the day you asked me to be your girlfriend.  I started believing in myself.  You made me want to be a better person and made me want to make something of my life.  You have encouraged me and supported me through so much.  You have made so many of my dreams come true.  I have done absolutely nothing in my life to deserve you.  I only have God to thank because only He could perform such an amazing miracle.  I am so proud of who you are and everything you do.  You are patient, loving, caring, understanding, hardworking, and amazing.  I am so grateful to have you as my husband, and as Aurora’s dad.  I have been enjoying my life with you so much.  I know Aurora will love her life with you as her dad, as much as I love my life with you as my husband.  Thank you for everything you do.  I love you so much.

Love,

Arlene
