Savory Sunday: Peanut Butter Spoons

A quick post for your Sunday evening.

You may or may not know that I have a love for Peanut Butter. It's practically a food group on it's own in our house as my daughter loves it too. If you want to really make me happy, add chocolate to it, that is a match made in heaven. In fact I have an entire Pinterest Board called "Peanut Butter in my Belly" that is, mostly chocolate peanut butter recipes.

However sleep deprivation, three kids, school jobs, stuff, stuff, and more stuff means I don't always have time to bake all, or any, of those wonderful goodies.

Sometimes thought it's necessary to have a sweet peanut butter chocolate treat. You just need a little to take the craving edge of when you are dieting or it may be that time of the month wen you need a little extra chocolate. Whatever it is I have invented (or modified a basic principle) the perfect less than a minute to prep chocolate peanut butter snack.

Peanut Butter Spoons

1. Dip spoon into jar of peanut butter (I prefer crunchy) and scoop a heaping spoonful

2. Sprinkle, roll, dip, otherwise cover with one of the following:

• mini chocolate chips
• chocolate chips
• M&M's
• Any other kind of chocolate bits and pieces you may have around

3. Eat and be happy. 

Personally M&Ms have become my favorite, they really do make it  the perfect snack.

A Moment {Simple Moments, Bigger Picture}

I stare at her, at them, willing my brain to burn this moment, so many moments into my memory.

This exact moment. 

The roundness of her cheeks.The way the water makes her eyelashes stick together in clumps. How they look like the points of stars or of a Japanese doll. Big bright eyes surrounded by rays of lashes stretching out.

I please with myself don't let this moment fade into the foggy files of an aging brain. Don't. Miss. This.

Sometimes I have my camera and can sneak a shot of the moment. Of my little ones doing big things.

Many times I wish for a camera to capture the moments. To preserve them all, every last one. I want to live in the moment, but also document it. Remember it. Cherish it. 

I look at my older two children and wonder how many moments, how many simple, everyday moments have I missed. Forgotten.

I don't want to me so consumed with remembering, documenting, that I forget to live it. For what good is a memory of a moment if the moment was just observed and not lived?

So I grasp and I pull. Steal moments here and there from the fog of memory and I cherish the ones that will fade and be forgotten. I may not remember every simple little moment. But every moment will be lived. 

Live.

Simply living the moment, that’s my Simple Moment, Bigger Picture this week. What’s yours?

Capture.
