Big news!

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I visited my own blog. There have been a big changes and blessings in my life.
I am PREGNANT :)!!!

God is good! My husband and I were praying for it for a couple of month.  We both had a big desire to have a little one.
Well, I knew something was different. Back in mid January I started to feel very weird. I did some research on the internet about early pregnancy symptoms, and I was sure I was pregnant. I decided to wait a week just to be sure... Week after I ran to Target and got a "first responce pregnancy test" I was so excited for next morning.. So the morning Jan 27th came, I did it, and here we go- 2 pink lines!!!! Yay! My husband was at work ...I couldnt wait to tell him, so I called and shared our news!!


We set up an appointment for Feb 11th.

On Feb 11th Brad and I headed to my 10.30 appointment. We got to see our baby and hear her/his heartbeat. It was an amazing moment. My doctor said I was 7 weeks pregnant!

Now, as writing this post I'm 12,5 weeks :)
So  here I am

God is Great!!!

It's a family tradition to make these wonderful tasty treats for Christmas. The recipe dates back to my husband's grandmother... So it's been a family favorite for years.

They are not only very yummy for those who love sweets but also are very addictive. You can't have just one!!!

 2 - tbl spoon vanilla extract (30ml)
 15 - cups Corn Flakes ( approx 420 g)
 As need - cinnamon "red hots" candies for decoration




Step 1:
In a large pot melt marshmallows and butter over low flame. Stir occationally

 Step2:
add vanilla and food coloring, stir till well mixed.

 Step 3:

.
Step 4:
