Ready to get CHOCOLATE WASTED?

So, everywhere I turn I keep seeing THE BEST CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE EVER. It was just begging to be made. I went out and bought all the ingredients then I got lazy and sat on my big RUMP. The buttermilk that I had bought? Well, it expired. DOH!

As I sat on the couch today, I thought about that cake.

DARN YOU, Pioneer Woman!

I wanted a sheet cake.

I wanted chocolate.

I compromised.

I found a pretty basic chocolate cake recipe *Only changed a couple of things and decided that I would use Pioneer Woman's frosting for my cake.

BOY OH BOY! This was some GOOD GRUB, YO!

The pecans for the frosting? Yep, I shelled them BY HAND. **Like there's another way or something lol

What? Did I hear chants of SUPER WOMAN??

Here is my cake :

Wanna make it? 

Here's how . .

I would have made a recipe with carrots and celery but where's the fun in THAT?

HA!

Cute Mouse hair clip tutorial

There's a mouse in my house! (or should I say MICE?)

I think we will keep these around . . .

I made this little mouse last night per request.

You can make one too!

The mouse hair clip tutorial can be found on my youtube channel as well as many other hair bow tutorials and crafty projects.

I also designed this "stacked boutique" bow using a mouse . . .

The tutorial for the boutique stacked hairbow can be found on my craft channel too!

ughhhhhhh!

Some people....

Ugh! I don't get some people at all. I just had to file my 4th Copyright Infringement Notification with youtube.

One of my subscribers (crafty youtube channel) sent me a message last week alerting me that someone had RE-uploaded one of my tutorials and were claiming it as their own. Yep, it was MY video just re-uploaded on their channel.

Re-creating the tutorial would have been one thing. But to be so lazy as to just RE-UPLOAD the video? Come on now!

The video?

This one (Angry Birds hairbow tutorial)

While the video was uploaded on four different channels, I am sure it's the work of one person.

I am not alone either. On all 4 of these channels are the same videos and ALL OF THEM ARE VIDEOS CREATED BY SOMEONE ELSE. 

Annoying to say the least...

Some funnies . . .

Got Milk? Homemade Oreo-like cookies : )

"I have got to lose the rest of this BABY fat!"

words often overheard in the "H" household on any given day

Uhh....

Err...

hmm...

There's always tomorrow, RIGHT?

We tried the homemade oreos yesterday.

We even colored our cream filling! (fancy schmancy)

Wanna see how we made them?

homemade oreo cookies

UPDATE: We actually had a couple of cookies that remained on the counter OVERNIGHT. Yeah, I know...shocking!

The cookies are EVEN more oreo-like the next day. The filling is dead on (same texture as an oreo).
Just thought I would let you know what they were like the next day.
Ya know, in case you NEVER get to that point : )
