The Joy of Cinnamon Bread



















Cinnamon Bread, can just about be the yummiest fall/winter/spring/summer treat that could ever be. Especially when it tastes like Great Harvest bread and especially when it is all swirly in the middle with cinnamon goodness. Did I mention the crunchy crust? Did I mention there is only a little butter involved and it doesn't hurt the flavor one bit? Plus, it is moist. Oh, the moistness of it all. Enough talking, now for the recipe.
Filling/Topping:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Bread:
1 1/2 cups whole milk, heated on stove top to 110 degrees
4 T. unsalted butter, (3 of them melted)
3 large egg yolks
4 1/4 cup AP flour, plus more if needed
2 1/4 t. rapid rise yeast (1 pkg.)
1 T. sugar
1 1/2 t. salt

And here are the instructions over at The Idea Room, which is possibly the best ever craft/recipe/home blog you will ever love!!

I Won! Janey Mac

I am a big fan of vinyl pretty things that I can use in my house. Especially in big awkward places where I don't know what to do! So, I was super excited when I found out I won a $50 gift certificate to Janey Mac off of UCreate Crafts. I have wanted to paint some trees of some sort in my bedroom for a long time and I still haven't gotten around to even painting my room a non-white color!!

They have all kinds of beautiful vinyls for all rooms and styles. So many colors!! It's just great!

I still haven't put my vinyl up yet because my husband has been looking around for different jobs and I really don't want to waste it if we end up moving somewhere. But this is the one I got.

I got a brown branch with red birds. So cute!

Diaper boxes turned storage boxes

I should have kept the thousands of diaper boxes I have acquired aka paid for over my five years of mothering. But I came across this awesome and easy secret!
1. Cut scrapbook paper to size.
2. Paint sides and bottom with craft paint.
3. Mod podge the paper on.
4.DONE!! And much better than paying $10 for a storage box.
I use mine for photo storage, kids clothes, blankets.
