Build Me A…

IMG_0169Blog

Stack of pancakes!

IMG_0167Blog

Up and at ‘em with Kodiak cakes flavored with sunbutter and pan-seared banana plus some Cville Cluster for garnish.

And here’s your 20% off coupon! If you guessed it’s KATHEATS you guessed right. Here’s where you can buy the 20% off bundle of three (you can mix and match). And here’s a list of stores if you’d rather try to find them down in person.

Build me a screened-in porch!

And since I tipped you off yesterday…here are some progress shots of our new screened-in porch!! We learned at our last house how much we absolutely love outdoor porch living, yet the mosquitos here make summer enjoyment – when you want to be out there the most (!) – impossible. Our house had a little back stoop, but you couldn’t really do more than stand out there to gaze at the yard. When this is over, we’ll have  2.5 season entertaining room for blogging, dinners, and relaxing!

    One of the first projects on our new home was building a very large deck. It’s like having another room…great for entertaining. I love having my breakfast and lunch out there on sunny days. It’s not screened in however, with wasp season in August, I wish it was! You will truly enjoy your ‘new room’.

    Love the progress pictures. My husband would love to do this project. Ever since we bought our house he’s become a carpenter. Learned everything from books and the internet. I have no talent whatsoever in home improvements and would hire out everything. It’s a huge time commitment. Can’t wait to see the end result. Screened in porches are so Southern, very cool.

    I was shocked to find Kodiak Cakes original AND brownie and cookie mix at our local Big Lots for $3.00! The mixes are hard to find in our area, so needless to say, I stocked up (the husband was rather ashamed at the checkout…but I was too excited about my treasures to care that we looked like we were preparing for the apocalypse ; )

    Whoever came up with the idea of pan-searing a banana to go with pancakes was a freakin genius. There’s really no other way to eat them anymore. Except maybe frozen and covered with chocolate, but that’s probably not the best thing to have for breakfast… or is it 🙂
