Southern (Florida) Living

In honor of receiving my new issue of Southern Living magazine, I decided to replicate the apple cake on their cover!  Okay, replicate is a strong word!  
Whatever....
My kids wondered why mine didn't look like the cover. 
 "It's because mine is more natural and rustic looking!"  I told them.  
It really was delish!  Even my (mostly carb free) husband ate some! 

By the way, I always start my diet on the same day!
TOMORROW! THAT'S RIGHT.
************************************
I'm kind of surprised that I even found my pots and pans
 to cook this masterpiece in!
We just moved houses last weekend.  I am SO happy the move is behind us!
Now we can spend time unpacking and trying to find matching socks and clean underwear! ;)

My husband loves the new house, well living room to be exact.  (He's from North Carolina, so he calls it a 'den' (said with a very southern drawl, which sounds like 'dan' from this
 Michigan grown girl.)  It's super cute tho....
He can't wait to hang up his 3D TV over his big screen TV!  Oh, and  I must be feeling really nice, because I even told him that he could hang his Torry Holt jerseys in that living room! 
 Crazy yes.  But Torry would be proud.  
I will try to let him enjoy his man cave and try not to look too closely at his mess  stuff. 
 (At least until football season is over.  Oh and basketball season.  
Then it'll be time for some spring cleaning Mr. Harwell!)
Goodbye Torry, hello eBay.  Who wants to buy a jersey?  J/k 

I'm also trying to squeeze in some time to create resources for my classroom!  (And then sell on TPT once I get it just right!)  I'm working on writing center prompts that include pictures, a word bank, writing lines and a reminder to check for capitals, punctuation, complete sentences and spacing.
So check back for those next week!  I'm using them in my writing center starting tomorrow!
I want my students to enjoy going to the writing center and getting creative! 
My boys actually choose writing center at choice time!  I love it!

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy (almost) Fall! 

Ps.  My 14 year old son, Ben, 'proofread' this blog.  He prefaced it with, "is it full of dumb mom jokes?"  Then after he read it, he said, 'it's good mom.  I'm proud of you.' 
 Whether he was kidding or not, I'll take it! :)
