Oatmeal Cream Pies

I made some of the best homemade OATMEAL CREAM PIES!!! YUM! 

The recipe was super easy to follow! I know I will make them again for sure.

They turned out so golden, light, and with a  wonderful texture. 

The filling was a traditional buttercream frosting. Not too sweet. Perfect!

The "LEX" Car With PINK BLING!

Cute, right? 

Lana picked out most of the pink stuff from Amazon to add a personal touch to her car.  She received most of the car accessories on her birthday, but at that time, we did not have her car yet. We decided to purchase the Lexus due to the high safety ratings for teen drivers. The mom in me felt very worried for her to drive so it took me many months to research and feel comfortable with the purchase. San Antonio traffic is horrible so I wanted to make sure she had all the safe driving features.  

While she was at summer camp we purchased the car. It's a F Sport Black Line Special Edition. She did not like the red or brown interior offered in the other Lexus vehicles, so we were super happy to find this car with the black and gray interior. Our sales guy was very patient with us and never gave up when we turned down many other vehicle options. 

Now for the pink inside the car.... Are you ready??? LoL.... ......

The pillows are actually quite comfortable, believe it or not. Both Will and I were surprised. 

My favorite is the pink ring around the start button. And, the pink hearts. Oh, and the hello kitty cup liners in the above pics are SOOooo cute! 

She is happy!! When she arrived home the Rep from Lexus came over to the house to go over all the features of the car with her and we were able to get a few pics of her near the car with the bow on it.

 LOVE IT!!! 

Here's to Lana being a safe driver! 🙌🙌

Much love!
