Wind chimes make me happy, they sound so pretty.

Nick and I got one on our honeymoon so I always think of when we first got married when I hear them.

flowersIf I wasn’t so horrible about watering, I would have some of these hanging on my front porch.

It would be a death sentence though.

S’mores in a Solar Oven

SolarOvenSmoresAfter testing out our Solar Oven by melting cheese, I thought my boys might appreciate cooking something they actually got to eat.

readyWe got the idea from the same site we got the directions on how to build the solar oven from.

homemadeIt seemed like the chocolate melted right away but that the marshmallows took a while to get soft.

kitsolarBy the time the marshmallow was soft the chocolate had made a mess.

messyIt was really good but our oven’s got messy also.

I would suggest just putting the marshmallow in on a cracker.

Have you ever made a solar oven?

What did you cook in it?

I think I want to made chocolate bars next!
