“new” blog…new name?

Category: everyday | February 9th, 2012


*a little blurry, but how sweet is this girl?? she gives kisses now and it melts my heart. 
now that i am writing about life and such and not focusing mainly on crafty projects, i feel that PLC just doesn’t fit anymore. to be honest, i was never 100% in love with the name. lol. so i am in the process of thinking of a new name for the blog. good thing my url, kristenmcashan.com, won’t change, so it shouldn’t affect any of you readers. just wanted to share that with y’all. i am really excited too. there might be a little blog makeover too. nothing too big though. :)

monday funday

Category: baby, everyday | February 7th, 2012




yesterday we were out and about allllll day. miss P was amazing. although i’m sure the 2 hour nap in the car helped. lol. we started out at the Austin Children’s Museum for the Baby Bloomers. it was our first time, and i am in love! i’m sure P is too, since she had so much fun. this place was filled with so many baby/toddler (3 and under) friendly things. so many activities and hands on stations. we spent 3 hours there and there was never a dull moment. saw some of her buddies there too. we had a great time. if y’all are ever in town on a monday from 9-12 then i highly suggest this place! small fee, but well worth it.








we had a birthday party to go to downtown at central market as well so we stayed around (since it’s about an hour ride home), she took a two hour nap and i had lunch in the car. :) then it was time to hang out with a bunch of 5 year olds! she had so much fun watching them and trying to keep up with them. oh and climbing anything and everything. it had rained right before. that didn’t stop her. she was soaked, but had a smile on her face the entire time.



look what made an appearance. ;) there’s still more leftover. get these things away from me! anyone want some? seriously.

monday funday was great. an hour and 15 minutes later we were home. whew.

homemade snickers

Category: everyday | February 5th, 2012


guys, can i tell you how amazing this little dessert is?! homemade snickers. umm, yes please. we had a little get together with another family today for the “super bowl,” really just an excuse to get together. ;) we didn’t even watch it…actually i was too busy making this thing. it does take quite some time because you have to wait for each layer to completely harden, BUT totally worth it. this recipe is pretty darn close to the real deal. it is very rich i might add, but delish. gave 3/4 of it away to our friends. that stuff is dangerous.

just in case y’all don’t follow me on pinterest (a pinterest button will be added soon) then here’s the link to this amazing recipe that you must try at least once in your life. :)
