Oreo truffles are divine goodness for your mouth. There are a million recipes for Oreo truffles on the internet and now there is a million in one (but this one is the best). For a quick and easy dessert you won’t want to share, here are some tips I learned when making Oreo Truffles.
$4 Kitchen Makeover
I have big kitchen plans. I want to put in tile flooring, stain the cabinets darker (or paint them if I can get the hubby to jump on board), replace the counter top, put in a tile backsplash, and install a new sink. Sometimes things in life aren’t the right time, and right now it is not the right time to invest that much time and money into my kitchen. To tide myself over, I implemented a mini makeover that cost $4.00, an hour of my time, and required only scissors and shelf liner.
Modifying WordPress Theme Backgrounds
I dabble in website creation, so keep that in mind when you read this post. I am only a dabbler. I am not an expert. I also like shortcuts because once upon a time I spent way too much time on website design. Here is my advice. If you are creating a blog you want to customize, find a WordPress theme that has customizable options built in. In this case, I am talking about themes where you can upload an image and the theme will automatically tile (repeat) that image to create a background. Need a background image? I have some trellis pattern options for you!
My Word for 2013: Be
I never understood why people were obsessed with simplicity until my life become, well, not simple. Then I wanted simplicity; I needed simplicity. I work full time as a teacher at a high school and then I work part time as a teacher online. My commute is an hour long. I just finished working full time as a student in a master’s degree program. These our not obstacles in my life as much as they are reasons why it is difficult. Difficult to be all the things I aspire to be. But these are also the things that help me be what I aspire to be. Again, not simple. Everyone as a different story, but can relate to the complications of life.
Wear Springtime in Winter
I am not one to follow for fashion. I don’t look at style magazines except for covers you can’t help but see in the supermarket line. Here is further proof I don’t follow fashion rules. My idea: Wear springtime clothes in winter. My reason: It might make you feel good. This is my anecdotal evidence. Yesterday I was feeling overwhelmed, had a horrible migraine, and thus, didn’t have the greatest day. Today I am still overwhelmed, thankfully didn’t have a migraine, yet I had a much better day. I attribute it in part to the bright spring colors I donned. Here are my outfit specifics.
