Dry Erase Love Notes!

My friend Rhonda and I have our annual all day shopping day on Labor Day weekend. We hit all the clearance racks everywhere! Super fun day! Anyway, while she tried on some clothes at Anthropologie, I noticed the dressing room attendant would write each girl's name on their dressing room door. It was an oval shaped mirror. Once the girl left she would wipe it away with a cloth. So here is my version to my little guys, that they will find in the morning above their sinks! Make sure it is a dry erase markers! Just like the ones that teachers use on their
Wipe Boards.

Our $6 Blueberry Pie

Rinsing the Blueberries!

Cooking & Popping the Berries!

Our Pie!

Enjoying the Fruits of his Labor!

After we picked blueberries this summer, my Five year old kept asking to make a blueberry pie. When we (I) finally got around to it, the blueberry farm had closed for the season. Blueberries were on sale for $1.79 a pint at the store so I bought 2 pints to make our pie!

Our recipe came from the Blueberry Farm's Website!

Chet's Blueberry Pie
1 Baked Pie Crust
4 cups Fresh Blueberries
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup sugar (adjust to berries)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
pinch of salt

In a small bowl whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tbls water.
Place one cup of the berries and 1/2 cup of water in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 4 to 5 minutes stirring constantly until berries begin to burst.
Then while stirring constantly add the cornstarch mix, the sugar, the salt, and the lemon juice. Simmer while stirring for one more minute until translucent.
Remove from heat and quickly fold in remaining 3 cups of berries.
Spoon mixture into baked pie shell and allow to set at room temp for 2 hours.
Great with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
