<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">1. Cut up a stick of butter
into small 1/2-inch cubes, and put it into the freezer. The colder the butter
the flakier the crust! Freeze the butter at least 15 minutes, best overnight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">2. Put the flour, salt, and sugar into a food processor and
pulse until well combined. Add half of the butter cubes and pulse 6 to 8 times.
Then add the other half of the butter cubes and pulse 6 to 8 more times. Your
mixture should be course with many butter pieces<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>visible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">3. Add a few tablespoons of ice cold water (without the ice!)
to the food processor bowl and pulse a couple of times. Then add more ice
water, slowly, about a tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition, until
the mixture just barely begins to clump together. Try to keep the water to a
minimum. Too much water will make your crust tough. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">4. Remove the crumbly mixture from the food processor and use
your hands to press the dough together and shape into a disc. Sprinkle the disc
with a little flour on all sides. Wrap the disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate
at least 1 hour. (At this point you can freeze the dough disk for several
months until ready to use. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator before
proceeding.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">5. When you are ready to roll out the dough, remove the disk
from the refrigerator and place on a clean, smooth, lightly floured surface.
Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle some flour on top of the disk. Using a
rolling pin, roll out the dough then place on to a 9-inch pie plate, lining up
the fold with the center of the pan. Gently unfold and press down to line the
pie dish with the dough. Use a fork to mark the sides to make it look like a
pastry dish.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">After you have made your pie crust you should bake the crust
for 10 minutes at 350 before adding your tomato pie filling. Just keep an eye
on it in the oven. If it starts to bubble up take it out!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I started
crocheting about a year and a half ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My Nana tried to teach me how to crochet when I was about 9 or so, but
it didn't sink in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So after Christmas of
2011 I asked her to teach me again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
took to it like wild fire this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
I started making little crocheted stuffed animals for my nieces and nephews.
Once I finished those I just kept going, and Hip, Hip, Crochet was born.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(My wonderful Hubby came up with the clever
name.)</span></div>

was as easy as some lemon water and mint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also the knowledge that no matter what I drink I am always going to be a

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As I was working on my Bloggy Space Make-Over, I needed to add
a link to Aiden’s Nursery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I went
back to find the link, I realized that Aiden’s Nursery was one of the first
things I ever blogged about over a year ago and I did not do the space
justice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So here
are some pictures of Aiden’s Nursery, where I purchased key items and some of the DIY projects we have created for his toddler room since. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Originally, I found the image we used to draw the tree <a href="http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_430xN.132630045.jpg">here on Etsy</a>. The tree was actually my inspiration for the whole space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">I loved how the circles made the tree seem modern and I really wanted to be able to use the tree as Aiden grew into a toddler.</span></span><br />

projector to display the image on the wall. Then he got busy tracing, tracing and tracing...oh and painting, which took about a day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got to watch from a comfy chair, since I

The Crib is a three in one so Aiden can use it as a toddler and teenager. You can find the Crib <a href="http://www.target.com/p/delta-children-s-products-eclipse-4-in-1-convertible-crib-black-cherry/-/A-11254936">here</a> and the Changing Table <a href="http://www.target.com/p/delta-children-s-products-eclipse-2-shelf-baby-changing-table-black-cherry/-/A-11254695">here</a>. The Chair was borrowed from a family friend. The Curtain and Rod were also purchased from Target. You can find the Curtains <a href="http://www.target.com/p/eclipse-fairfax-thermaweave-window-panel/-/A-14042803#prodSlot=medium_1_7&term=brown+curtain+panel">here</a> but the Curtain Rod is no longer available.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I am so glad we did this because I have had the extra paint on hand for several DIY projects since like this mirror & bench.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinA4i19Af6fHm0ZKgHGea_LAlG5en7JKdG7njn_XFkPv2tR9Xvt-xqueitE2aAQDV4zoNb3_mgM3yhm9ADSDvVtWuT9z_dGeTaKk0EY-rYkR0CfHnsJiRue50SRB6xrg2mM2coYavk5EOj/s1600/Aj+bench+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinA4i19Af6fHm0ZKgHGea_LAlG5en7JKdG7njn_XFkPv2tR9Xvt-xqueitE2aAQDV4zoNb3_mgM3yhm9ADSDvVtWuT9z_dGeTaKk0EY-rYkR0CfHnsJiRue50SRB6xrg2mM2coYavk5EOj/s640/Aj+bench+collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This bench is my favorite addition to the toddler version of Aiden's room. We got it from my neighbors who were throwing it away. Originally, it was light wood and the seat was cream colored and all stained up. We used the left over paint again and a crib sheet to transform this bench into an adorable reading bench for Aiden. As an extra plus, the drawer pulls out for some great storage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I have been so happy with how Aiden's room turned out. I think it has been the perfect nursery to toddler bedroom. </span><br />

for chocolate lovers looking for a rich treat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For those of you who know me, I am pretty flexible when it comes to
making changes in recipes; much to the chagrin of my OCD daughter and husband.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes my little experiments turn out
great, other times not so much!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean
really when you are out of one thing is it so bad to head on over to Google and
see what you can substitute?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While this
recipe from Hershey called for kisses, I used what I had in the pantry…a good
old bag of mini chocolate chips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gasp…it
turned out great…rich but great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
