I seriously am starting to think I am allergic to dust. Sorry honey, I just can't do anymore house cleaning. I know that as a SAHM that is part of my job requirements, but you don't want me sneezing all the time, do you???
Maybe hiring it out is a good idea because I'm definitely allergic. Last week we added some more shelves in our bedroom closet because I had finally had it with dumping my sweater box out on the bed each time I wanted to find anything.
Having extra shelves to display the folded sweaters was my solution. My sweet husband bought all the shelves and installed them right away because he is the best.
Of course, that meant I had to do a deep clean of the closet. And I had to go through all my shoes. As I moved the shoes from the bottom of the closet, I found out where all the dust bunnies have been hiding. Maybe I should clean our closet more often because it was pretty bad in there.
Trying to organize multiple shoes while sneezing isn't the best idea. I may or may not be addicted to cute shoes. I'm definitely not allergic to those!
Saying no to shoes in the store is just so hard to do! I have the same problem saying no to these Peanut Butter Balls. Cute shoes and cute little candies...why do they tempt me so?
I'm not ready to divulge my shoes numbers, but I will give you the recipe for these peanut butter parfaits.
Do we have a deal???

I'm 100% ...ok 99% sure I'm allergic to dust and yeah, let's just take that off the "must do list" for at home. I'll all for that and these peanut butter pie parfaits!
Melissa
When you say chocolate sauce, do you mean NOT chocolate syrup? If so, what did you use?
Jocelyn
I'm sorry that was unclear. The chocolate sauce is just the whipping cream and chocolate chips melted together from the previous step. I hope you enjoy them!
Chanel
I just made this amazing. I took the, to work and was being begged to make them again ^_^
Cheryl O
Just made these, they were great! I left out the peanut butter cups (too expensive). My daughter is having all kinds of pregnancy cravings and she loves peanut butter. I hope she enjoys it as much as we did.
