Date Night

This weekend my cute husband was very studious and was determined to get as much work done so he could cram for all of his tests. He woke up early to get started so I decided he was in need of a healthy breakfast. I made some great whole wheat pancakes and peach topping syrup for breakfast to get him going for the long day ahead.

Sauce: 
1 peach washed and diced
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup of white sugar
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon

In a small sauce pan melt butter. Once butter is melted add the diced peaches. Let the peach and butter mixture simmer for 2 minutes. Add white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon and let simmer for 5-10 minutes until peaches are soft. Drizzle sauce over pancakes and eat up!

After breakfast husband went into the office to start his long day of work. I decided I needed something to keep me busy so I headed up to the DI which I always love. While at the DI on my scavenger hunt of cheap supplies for our 72 hour kit I've been putting together I came across these beauties...


Say Hello to my new coffee table coasters. I love the amazing treasures you can find at DI. Much more exciting than the 2 forks 2 spoons and mini pot I bought for our 72 hour kit. After DI I decided to go on a scavenger hunt for cheap cadbury eggs. I really don't think such a thing exists but being a cheap chocoholic i decided to continue my search. After driving all the way to Walmart (convinced that they would have by far the cheapest price) I was disappointed to find out that they had not arrived in their store. Even though I was a bit sad about my cadbury egg search it was a fun adventure.


 A couple months ago we bought this dresser for our bedroom which was in desperate need of some love and attention. So After my DI trip and my Cadbury egg hunt I came home to tackle the project. I spent the rest of the day sanding and painting and the dresser is finally starting to come together.



After all the painting was finished and husband's work was all done we decided to go out and have some fun. One of our favorite things to do is find cute little mom and pop restaurants. So we drove to Springville to find a good place to eat. As we were driving we saw the train restaurant! It is this cute little restaurant in downtown Springville that is in an old train car. We quickly pulled over and ran in. We split a burger and fries and had a great night out on the town.

When we came home we curled up on the couch and watched our new redbox movie "The Secretariat" and ate our strawberries and brownie bite cookie dough (provided by Grandpa B, Thanks!). A great ending to a prefect day.

  1. I love that little train restaurant! This sounds like a fantastic (and very productive) day. I want you to come decorate my house with DI finds!
