DIY decorative bench

Kelly wanted a bench in one of the rooms to our house so I made this one to the size she wanted. The design was based on a bench we saw in one of the Spanish missions in Texas. We then stained it a grey/brown color. A fun afternoon DIY project.

Molasses on Snow

Abbie got the Little House on the Prairie cookbook for Christmas. We have been reading the books and we come across meals in the stories Abbie would like to try so the cookbook has all the recipes! With the recent snow we decided to try molasses on snow. We boiled molasses and brown sugar and then poured it on snow in pans where it quickly hardens into toffee like candy.
