Pinterest Dinner : Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

I love everything about a cinnamon roll. When I came across this recipe, I knew I would give it a try. 
Most Sundays we have breakfast for dinner.  Our small group meets on Sunday at 4:30, and when we don't go have dinner together this is a quick fix for us when we get home.
I hadn't made our January meal calendar yet, so when Steve suggested pancakes for dinner, I immediately thought of these cinnamon roll pancakes.
They are easy to assemble.  I had all of the ingredients in my fridge and pantry.  Looking at the photo of the pancake(s) cooking, one might think they turned into a disaster.  (I did at first!) I might have gotten the batter too thin, or made the filling too runny.  When I poured the filling into the batter in the skillet, it started to spread.  Oops.
Regardless of how disastrous they looked, they tasted delicious! Thank goodness.

Pinterest Project : scarf holder.

I love to waste time on Pinterest. My biggest problem with Pinterest is that I make lots of plans but never follow through. One of the things I would like to do this year is make/sew/cook some of the great projects I've pinned to my never-ending boards.
Figuring out what to do with my multitude of scarves has always stumped me. I stumbled across a pin recently that had a cheap, easy solution! Last week I picked up some cheap shower curtain rings at Target. (I also snagged a pair of moleskin journals for a project for the girls!)
Hanger + shower curtain rings = scarf solution!
The rings slide around on the plastic hanger which is a little annoying. I bet I could get one for suit pants that has the rubber strips to keep the rings stationary. However this is great because all of my scarves are in one place and easy to store in the closet!

Yay!

Running again.

I took my new running shoes on their maiden voyage this morning.
I felt pretty good. I only went a mile, and much to the dismay of the sweet Runkeeper lady, I was quite a bit behind my goal pace. Oh well...

For Christmas Steve "gave" me the promise to run a race. He has chosen a 10k on February 12. It might be ugly, but it's going to be fun running a race with him.

Now I find myself on the couch trying to decide between taking a nap or a shower.

Christmas Card.

I'm attempting to make our Christmas card....it's killing me!

Two months.

On September 6th I looked like this:  (sorry for the blur...)

The next morning we went from no babies to two babies.

Since then we've had pictures made...

visited Hillcrest... 

gone on walks...

gotten shots...

attended church...

and taken lots of naps.

I'm coming back...

Really! I am!
I have all these ideas for posts floating around in my head, but no time to sit and construct.

Please wait for me!
