Delicious No-Bake Cookies

Last night I made some amazing no-bake cookies that have no chocolate in them! Some of the people in my family don't like every dessert to have chocolate in it (yeah-I have no idea what is wrong with them!) so I decided to make this peanut-buttery treat!

You can find the recipe at http://allrecipes.com/recipe/peanut-butter-and-honey-no-bake-cookies/\ and the only thing I did differently was I used smooth peanut butter and if I could do it over again I would use more oats than recommended to make them a little more solid :)

Honey Peanut Butter No-bake Cookies

• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1/3 cup Whole Milk
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup White Sugar
• 1/2 cup Honey
• Pinch of Salt
• 1 cup Crunchy Peanut Butter
• 3 1/2 cups Instant Quick-Oats

1. Combine the butter, milk, white sugar, brown sugar, and honey in a large pot over medium-high heat; bring to a rapid boil for 90 seconds. Stir the salt and peanut butter into the mixture and remove immediately from the heat. Add the oatmeal quickly and mix to combine. Make sure the texture is thick with a little bit of sauce, but not too much sauce. If needed add extra oatmeal.
2. Drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto aluminum foil or waxed paper; allow to sit 1 to 2 hours before serving.

It's A Girl!

On Thursday we found out our sweet little baby is a beautiful little girl! <3 We could not be happier! Josh and I were just so happy to find out the gender- we did not care if there was a little boy or little girl in my belly- just so long as it was a healthy baby! (I know everyone says that- but really- it's our first- how picky can a person be? ;) )

Our sweet baby girl's name is Savannah Marie and we know she will be much more beautiful than her name <3 Josh and I really loved the name Savannah and we chose Marie because both Josh's and my mother's middle names are Marie! So Savannah is named after both of her Grammies :) We hope she becomes a super awesome woman when she grows up like her Grandmothers!

Things I have learned while being pregnant with this sweet girl:

• I somewhat thought Savannah was going to be a boy because of how active she is- always jumping around- but I should have known she's just going to be an active little girl like her Momma was!
• All the burping that happens when you are pregnant is really crazy- I think this is an understated symptom!
• The amount of love and gifts we began to receive when we knew we were expecting Savannah is absolutely overwhelming! God is good <3 This little girl is already spoiled with so much love!
• The amount of advice- wanted and unwanted- about raising your baby and going through a pregnancy is also overwhelming... in a different sort of way ;-)
• I have had a really easy pregnancy so far and I feel so blessed by that! I know so many Mommas who are not so lucky. 
• I have ALREADY had people ask me how many more children we want... boy- Savannah isn't even here yet! 
• Pink does make me happy <3
• Ultrasounds are not always pleasant... those people get rough!
• Peeing in a cup seriously- pregnancy makes you a professional at that.
• Some days I still have to remind myself that it is true- we will have our sweet little baby in our arms in just a few months! We feel so lucky and blessed!
