    The girls hated the oatmeal so what other foods for cold days?

    Need a name for my blog

    On Facebook I often find myself sharing recipes, coupons, on line deals, craft projects, etc. So I thought about starting a blog. Except I have no idea what to call it. Everything I came up with is already on the web. Cheap Chick, Multi Purpose mom, etc. Any suggestions?

    What are you baking now?

    Yesterday I made blueberry rolls. Just like cinnamon rolls but sweet dough filled with blueberries, butter and sugar. Topped with vanilla icing. Very good and different. My boyfriend loves blueberries so they didnt last long enough to get a photo.
