{Printable} Be Better Than You Were Yesterday

Being on vacation leaves me with only a few options for post materials.  Lucky for you, that probably means you’ll be seeing a lot of printables over the next few weeks.  Or maybe not lucky for you.  Guess it depends if you’re a printable person.  Anyway….

I found this quote the other day… probably on Pinterest… and really liked it.  It’s a good reminder to myself that life doesn’t need to be a competition and the only person I really need to worry about is me (and my kids, of course, until they get old enough to do it themselves).  Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that in the blogging world, and life in general.  There will almost always be someone who is doing better than yourself and, hopefully, there will be people behind you sometimes too.  Use other’s successes as inspiration to be a better you.  Use your successes to inspire and help others.  And, in the mean time, print one of these cuties off to help remind you that life should be fun, not a contest.  Be better than the old you and everything else will fall into place.

 The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday
The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday
The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterdayThe only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday

Click HERE to download.  If you have issues, let me know.  I’ll fix it ASAP, but I have limited internet access.  Save the file(s) to your computer.  You can then print it from your home computer or have it printed professionally.  You may make as many copies of the print as you would like, but do not directly share the files.  Link your family and friends back here and they can come download their own copies.  Do not redistribute any of these images or any modifications of these images.  I retain all rights.  Thanks, enjoy!

Weekend Wander #129

Hi, friends.  I am stressed to {almost} the breaking point so it’s a miracle this is up.  But that means no features this week.  I’m sorry.  My to-do list is longer than the day and I’ve got to start parring down.  Unfortunately, features won’t matter too much for our trip if I don’t do it, so it’s gotta go.  But, I can’t wait to go through your links while I sit in the car for a million hours next week.  So link ’em up…. annnnd GO!

Weekend Wander #128

Welcome, my friends!

 I’ve got a couple quick announcements, a few features and then we will get right to the par-tay!
Announcement #1- Pick Your Plum Giveaway winner:
Kelly O’Neill Bowes with her entry “Like While He Was Napping” on Facebook!
Yay, Kelly!  Check your email for more details!
Announcement #2- A while back I asked for sponsors for a big giveaway event.  Just a heads up to those who volunteered (THANK YOU!), I have had to push the giveaway back until July.  It’s not cancelled, just postponed.  I’ve just been too busy to get it all organized yet.  The upside – if you’d still like to sponsor a prize, feel free to sign up HERE!  Sorry for the short notice of date changes.
Okay, features!  Last week, there are some great links!  Some of my faves included:

Eclair Cake

This is the perfect dessert for… uhm, pretty much all the time.  No, seriously.  It’s easy, pretty quick and crazy good.  Plus the ingredients are probably in your kitchen already. If not, it’ll cost you like $5 to make this.  And seriously, it tastes like eclairs.  Thanks to some super fantabulous friends for sharing this recipe with us, it’s become a favorite.

ECLAIR CAKE
Eclair-Cake2

Ingredients:
– 2 small (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
– 1 can of chocolate frosting
– 1 tub (8 oz) of whipped topping (cool whip)
– 2 cups of milk
– Approximately 1 package of graham crackers

For a little more inspiration: doesn’t it look delish?  It tastes even better… oh, and please disregard my classy paper plate.


Directions:
– Mix the pudding mix, whipped topping and 2 cups of milk in a bowl until combined.  Don’t whip it, but it should be mixed well.
– Layer graham crackers on the bottom of a 9×13″ baking pan.
– Top with a layer of the pudding mix.  Use about a third to half of it, depending on how many layers you want.  I like three layers of crackers.
– Lay down another layer of crackers on top of that.
– Repeat the layers until you are out of pudding.
– Microwave the can of frosting in 30 second intervals until it is melted and runny.  Try not to overheat it, as it will get a little grainy if you do.  Don’t worry about it too much, it’ll still be so delicious you’ll wonder if you really have to share it.
– Pour the melted frosting onto the top layer of pudding.
– Refrigerate overnight for best results.  If you don’t have time to let it sit overnight, you can dip each of the crackers in milk before you put it in the pan.

Enjoy.  Serves approximately 16.  Refrigerate any leftovers.  But there won’t be any, not for long anyway.

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
