I am sure you are all familiar with the "keep calm and carry on" posters, right? I love that one. And truly try to live that way. But when I saw this on Jenna's flickr page, I was all over it. You can download it and print it. I downloaded the original size and printed it on a piece of white card stock. I had a frame (from target) waiting for prints of the kids. But it was just so perfect for this. Within minutes I had it framed. Kerstin changed the color in picnik. So, go ahead, get excited and make one.
Our cookie of the week was an oatmeal chocolate chip. Rosemary e-mailed me the recipe letting me know it was one of her family's favorites (and told me I could share). Truly one of the most delicious oatmeal cookies I have made. This will definitely be in heavy rotation over here. Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Beat 1 cup of softened butter with 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar. Stir in 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups of flour, 2 cups quick cooking oats, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt and 2 cups chocolate chips. Drop from tbsp onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350˚ for 10 minutes. Enjoy. Thank you, Rosemary!
I picked all the daffodils that were in bloom in our yard. I would much rather enjoy them in the house. They will most certainly bring excitement to this grey rainy day. Also bringing excitement? Packing for spring break. We are leaving tomorrow for sunny skies. Have a great one!

Will need to make those cookies, only using egg substitute. I'm sure hubby will be excited.
I love your small vases of daffodils! bringing spring inside is a good thing!
have a wonderful vacation in a warm and sunny place! safe travels.
Have a great trip! Enjoy the sunshine! Thanks for sharing the poster.
Ahhh, have a GREAT time! I am green, I gotta tell ya! Take lots of photos and shoot a few our way so we can be even more green. Enjoy~Jan
First "Notes from the Universe" and now "keep calm and carry on," posters I was not familiar with. You are truly an inspiration!
Happy, happy sunny skies this spring break. Safe journey to you, your family and grand memories renew.
XO,
Ana
Enjoy the getaway Leslie.
yellow daffodils looks happy inside!
Oh have a lovely time, I am envious, I hope we get some sunshine here.
I love the daffodils, maybe I should go and cut mine too, I have loads to spare and like you, I would love to be enjoying them indoors, half of them I cannot even see from the house.
I love the poster. Have a great time!
Oh so nice...We've got a lone crocus peeking up. Daffodils, tulips and the rest seem far away. Have a great time.
have a wonderful vacation! we'll miss you, and so will your daffodils!
Gorgeous and awesome, as usual! I saw a similar poster recently that read, "Work hard and be nice to people." I am a fan of affirmations.
Have fun making stuff!
have a great time on vacation! everything looks great!
I'll definitely print that one out. What a great message (and a good reminder when life gets a little heavy).
I hope you have an exciting and creative spring break. We're still eagerly waiting for the daffodils over here...
Thanks for the tip on the poster! I have the other one hanging in my house...so I must get this one too. :)
Enjoy your vacation!
that sign is perfect for you! I love to make things, too, although I'm not as productive as you are. :) Thanks for sharing all this great stuff!
Hm. You're awfully busy for someone who is supposed to be PACKING, aren'tja! ;) Have a great time (and remember to give away the daffodils so you don't come home to that rotten flower smell of flowers left in their vases waaaaaaayyyyyy too long.)
Oatmeal chocolate chip is one of my favorites! Pretty flowers, pretty frame, pretty cookies! Have a fun spring break!!
leslie-sunny skies again? think of me...enjoy the break.
Oh, sunny skies sounds wonderful!! Have oodles of fun, and a safe journey. I'm off to make those cookies... and maybe knit another row on my sweater...
Happy knitting (and happy travels!)-
ali
daffodils, oatmeal cookies, and sunny skies sound spectacular. have fun!
2 of my favorite things: daffodils & oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. That's all we ever had when I was growing up. I was prbably 12 yrs old before I learned about TollHouse cookies. And they just aren't the same as oatmeal chocolate chip....my comfort food.

Have a wonderful trip! And those daffodils are divine!
Those cookies look sooo good. I'm now officially regretting my decision to forego refined sugar and white flour. Sniff.
Happy happy vacation!!
Chocolate + oatmeal = love. I'm going to make these as soon as I finish this paper. Now that's what I call motivation.
have a safe and fun trip!
Love that print! That's my kind of motto :)
Love the flowers. Oh and have an awesome trip! Safe travels.
Love all the mini vases! :) I saw the beginnings of the first grape hyacinth in my yard, today! :)
Love the flower, and the yummy cookies.
Oh that's just perfect. Thanks for the link Leslie x
That poster is so you! And have a great time...in Florida?
I hope you have a wonderful time!
I Ireland near my house millions of daffodils have been in full bloom for about two weeks. Now I am teaching in Switzerland and there is NOthing, no springtime yet!
Have a lovely vacation!
Oooooo - another good cookie recipe! Thanks much! Loved the Orange Blossoms.
It's also nice to see bright, cheery daffodils. Ours aren't even close to popping out of the ground yet.
I printed the 'get excited' poster yesterday - thanks so much for the link. Have a fun and safe vacation!
If there is anything better than daffodils outside, it is daffodils inside! Lovely! Thanks for the new oatmeal cookie recipe. It is always fun to try a new one out for size.
Cookies, flowers and inspiration ~ perfect!
Have a great time on your trip!
I love your daffodils! Ours are bigger, and not nearly as cute as yours are... I have been cutting them and sticking them in all the vases and bottles we have and putting them around the apartment. They really brighten it up inside!
The cookies look delicious, I want to eat them right now. Thanks for the recipe!
Have a wonderful vacation!
Kendall
That is a great take on a great poster! Thanks for sharing.
Hope you are all having a good time. After a day of travel, I'm sure you will all sleep well tonight.
have a great time and maybe send some of your flowers our way!
Wow! Such pretty Daffodils..
Travel safe and have fun!
Have a wonderful time! We aren't going anywhere so maybe I'll make a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! :)

I love the daffodils - gives those of us living in Ontario hope!
A great saying. Just the sort of motivation needed right now.
What an awesome awesome print, I love it - Thank you so much for sharing and for the tip. And, have a lovely trip!!

Anyway, in my language, there are usually not much good source like this.
