This past week I have been crazy busy with decorating and cooking. My new curtains that I ordered from JC Penny came in last week, so I was excited to get those and our blinds up. The blinds aren't what I want long term, but they will do for now. I think we paid less than $3.00/blind, so they are great temporary fix. I can't decide if I like the curtains better behind the tieback or not. What do you think?

Since our Easter decorations came down (we didn't have a ton up to begin with because of moving), I felt like something was needed on the front door. I stopped in at Michaels last week and found a whole aisle of unpainted wood decorations. I couldn't decide, so I had to get several. I came to the conclusion as I was painting these at 11:00 PM last week, these projects are the reason I never get to sleep before midnight.
For Mother's Day, we had my parents over to the house for dinner so they could see the progress we made in the yard over the weekend and so we could celebrate my wonderful mother! I made one of my favorite desserts, Gooey Cake. This is a recipe from a family friend and one I like to make a lot in the summer time. Here is the Gooey Cake part of the way gone... I didn't think to take one prior to the enjoyment of the gooey deliciousness. I can post the recipe later. It consists of a cake with mandarin oranges and a Carmel topping poured on after it cooks.
And here is the best way to eat it with vanilla ice cream and coolwhip!
Tonight, just for Andrew, as if we didn't have enough sweets sitting around the house, I decided to make one of his favorites....
Banana Bread!!
That is it for my post tonight. Enjoy my adventures in cooking!
