This past week has had way too many chores in it. Chores + summer vacation = yuck. After seemingly endless sweaty hours spent cleaning cupboards and washing corners in my house that I have never washed and hope to not wash again for years (if possible), I found solace in computer-land.
Look at the happy-making treats I found:
1) Nifty overdue book calendar by auntjune:
2) Marshmallows with faces. (The world is wonderful, isn’t it?) By Color Me Katie.
3) A lovely and touching short film by Cecil Castellucci, for her new picture book, Grandma’s Gloves (illustrated by the uber-talented Julia Denos. Must get that book).
4) Peanut-Butter Chocolate Crispy Bars of Paradise (which I plan to make this weekend, even though Smitten Kitchen tells me not to).
5) Finally, the gratuitous adorable-beyond-all-reason dog video:
If you’re not feeling happier by now, I suggest a liquid remedy. That works too. (Perhaps this?)




OK those marshmallows are freakin’ awesome! And when you make those chocolate bars send one to me! LOL. Or two?
I love love love the happy marshmallows! Which reminds me…we still have half a bag left over from our camping trip…mmm.
Love the puppy..but then I’m loving all things baby right now since I became a new grandma.
Perhaps you should share the recipe for the bars…they look good but sinful.
