Utterly declious peanut-butter bars!!!

Friday... After work, I decided to go to the Temple, since the Draper Temple is closed for cleaning, I went to the Jordan River Temple, I had an amazing experience. When I was done getting confirmed, one of the witnesses asked me, "What did you say your last name was?" "Kevern" "Who is your grandpa?" "Eugene Kevern..." "You need to come with me." By this point I was a little confused and couldn't understand what was going on, I thought I was in trouble, so I just followed this little old man to the front window where you check in and fill out your name tag. " He opened the door and said, "Madlyn, guess who I have found! Your cousin Eugene's granddaughter!" This small lady with silvery hair beamed when she heard my grandpa's name. I then  found out that I was related to this amazing couple, I started smiling and laughing at the situation. We visited for a while, then I went to do baptisms, I could feel the spirit so strong. I went in with a few questions, hoping for some peace and guidance, even though I might not have received my answers, I felt so much comfort and joy when I met some of my long lost relatives. As I left, my grandpa's cousin was still sitting in her big comfortable chair, still with a smile on her face. Walking up the stairs to leave she called my name and said "Sister Kevern, please come back every Friday night I work here those nights, it was my pleasure to meet you, and tell your grandparents I said hello!" Wow! I was totally touched by her sweet and tender actions toward me.
Anyway, I couldn't help but share that story! After I came home I was really bored and finally decided what to do... I made these wonderful peanut butter bars. They may be bad for you but I don't care, they melted in my mouth! I would like to share this recipe! For those of you on the gluten free diet, the only thing you need to replace is the flour. Enjoy!

CRUST:
1/2 CUP SOFT BUTTER (1 STICK)
1/2 CUP SMOOTH PEANUT BUTTER
1 1/2 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
1/2 TSP. VANILLA
1 1/2 CUP FLOUR

FILLING:
2 EGGS
2 TBSP. PEANUT BUTTER
1/2 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
1/2 CUP BROWN SUGAR

PRE-HEAT OVEN TO 375
CRUST: MIX BUTTER, PEANUT BUTTER, AND SUGAR UNTIL WELL BLENDED. STIR IN VANILLA. ADD FLOUR AND MIX WELL (MIXTURE WILL BE CRUMBLY). TAKE ONE CUP OF MIXTURE FOR TOPPING. FIRMLY PRESS REMAINING MIXTURE INTO BOTTOM OF GREASED 9X13 BAKING DISH.
FILLING: BEAT EGGS, PEANUT BUTTER, SUGAR, BROWN SUGAR TOGETHER. SPREAD OVER UNBAKED CRUST. SPRINKLE WITH REMAINING  CRUST MIXTURE. BAKE FOR 20-23 MIN OR UNTIL SET. THEN LET COOL AND CUT INTO BARS. DO NOT BAKE OVER 30 MIN, THE CRUST WILL BECOME TOO HARD.
These are seriously to die for! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

Staying Organized with a Baby and a Budget

Happy 2019 everyone! I hope your year has started off great and I hope it continues to be wonderful! I would like to consider myself to be pretty organized. Some people may find it weird that I love to keep things tidy and have a spot for everything. I hate clutter and huge messes. Yes I know I have a baby who loves to get into everything, literally. So I have had to learn to let her be little and let there be messes. Like most people I know, I binge watched Netflix show "Tidying Up" with Marie Kondo and her KonMari Style. Although fairly organized before the show, I felt inspired to get rid of more and organize deeper. I feel SO much better when my house is clean and things are put away. Spencer always makes fun of me for this slightly OCD quality I have. As I have been taking night classes and not getting home until 9 pm I have found it easier to not want to clean up the kitchen before bed. I do it anyway. Does anyone else have to have a clean kitchen before they go to b...

Potty Training and tips

I know most of you won't care about this post, but I know my future self will be grateful for it. Potty training is so tricky and it really tested my patience. I know everyone experiences it differently and each kid is different. I did a bunch of research on tricks and tips. I didn't just stick to one, I tried a few different ones and even combined some. Let's start from the beginning. Spencer and I wanted to have Evie potty trained before our new little one arrives. I can't even begin to tell you how many people told me I should wait until the new baby came. A good chunk of these same people told me Evie was too young (she is 22 months) and it wasn't worth my time to even try. Here's the thing; I kind of get why people told me these things, but it really made me doubt my abilities to teach Evie a hard task. Let's all be kind and not mom shame those who try things differently and earlier than others. I am with her all day, every day and paid attention to a...
