Wizarding World of Sabrina


Harry Potter has been one of the only things stuck in my imagination lately.  Leslie was laughing the other day when I wore my Gryffindor sweater (laughing because she recognized what it was)... The one the kids actually wear at Hogwarts that is wool with the red and gold stripes at the cuff of the sleeve and the waist line.  Don't worry, it will appear in a picture sooner or later.  I got it while on my Honeymoon at Universal.  Some of you may remember...




Okay, so since I love to wear my sweater and my Dumbeldore's Army t-shirt, crave to read all the books over again for about the  hundredth time, and have been watching the movies on the Family Channel over and over again, I decided to try and recreate the delicious Butterbeer we had while on Honeymoon.  It was so good and we couldn't get enough of it. 
(Some ingredients weren't pictured)

First I started off with delicious Cream Soda and added about 2 drips of Imitation Butter.  Sounds weird, but it is BUTTERbeer.  Sipped it, and it was delicious...  Then I took some regular Cool Whip in a bowl and mixed it with a tiny bit of sugar, vanilla extract, and Imitation Butter.  Added the whipped concoction to the top of the cream soda mix and created: BUTTERBEER


I have to say... It was REALLY delicious.  Tasted very similar.  I'm gonna try a condensed milk version of the topping another day to see if it is any better or just the same, but I'm so happy with the results!!!  Give it a try!!!  Brings me back to one of the BEST times in my life!

Hogwarts, my home away from home!

It has been one month of marriage bliss as of today.... :)  (I just have to do a little bragging... I made our "cake topper." I just love it!!!!)...  I had lunch with my friend Gina today and we were laughing about how I miss the honeymoon soooo much!  We went to Universal Studios, and for a Harry Potter geek like me it was like reaching nirvana... It was the absolute best time in my life and I wish we could have stayed even longer... Or live there! 


We drank butter beer and visisted the greatest school ever!!!  :)  Oh, how I can't wait to go back one day.. I cried when we left.. It was so sad leaving.  I highly recommend Universal!

Yesterday my mom and I went to a Christmas showcase and I saw the cutest idea...

If you have kids, when they wake up in the morning have a little fake snow at the fireplace looking as if Santa came down.. Even if it doesn't snow where you live it doesn't matter... It's Santa, so it is magic, but maybe if you live at the beach you could use a little sand... :)

Here's to creative thinking!
