CINNAMON TOAST WEDNESDAY TASTE




Today here is a simple quick breakfast or snack idea. My little ones love this treat. It was also a treat that I used to get when I was little and at my grandmas house. I'm sure many of you have had something similar.


INGREDIENTS:
*Bread
*Butter
*Sugar
*Cinnamon
Get a piece of bread and spread some butter on top of it. Then put some sugar and cinnamon on top of the butter. Place in the oven to toast and that is it.

SIMPLE CURTAINS. MAKE IT MONDAY













My little girl is the child that as soon as the sun comes up says, "Mom time to get up the sun is up." You can imagine how much fun this is when it is 6 in the morning. She also has her bedroom in the basement of the house. As a result her room is really cold in the winter. I wanted something to keep out the light and keep in the heat. I found black out liner at JoAnns and the fabric I wanted to use at IKEA. I love IKEA. I waited until they were both on sale to but the fabric.



As for the curtain I did not want the typical curtain that hangs on the outside. My children are monkeys and I was worried that they would pull it off. I also did not want a roman shade because of the safety issue. So instead we found this great thing at IKEA. You can configure it however you want use as many panels as you need. This worked out great for our window. We used three panels and they slide side to side.



The sewing was very simple. I cut the two pieces of fabric to fit in the window. I then folded the outside layer over the liner and sewed with a straight stitch. That simple.
