I got to shake his hand too. My baby Zack’s […]

But, when I was taking the Real Age test I started noticing the grammar read more like 5 servings of fruits and 5 servings of vegetables every day.
Could […]

Real Oats In 1 Minute

Got a tip from Susie Homemaker:
Real 1 Minute Oats Recipe

1/3 cup oats
2/3 cup water (I don’t really measure)
raisins and pecans (whatever you want)
Microwave 1 minute (let it sit to absorb water)
