Day 4

Day 4-


A song that makes you sad and a picture of your favorite night

1. 
   
2. A song that makes me sad: really it is the video more than the song that makes me sad. Ellie and I would watch the video together and it would make me cry and she would say "what is wrong mommy?" and I would say "nothing baby this song just makes me sad." Now every time it comes on the radio Ellie always says "this song makes us sad, Mommy!" 
3. Lady Antebellum- Hello World

A picture of my favorite night-

This is difficult because we have had a lot of great nights, but I think I would have to say the first night we had our baby girl Ellie! We are truly blessed!

Another Yummy Recipe

I thought I would post another family favorite recipe. It is super easy and would be a great dessert to take to your Easter get together.

Dump Cake

1 Box of Yellow Cake Mix
2 sticks of butter
1 can of crushed pineapple (drained)
1 can of cherry pie filling
1 bag of pecan pieces

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a glass baking dish (13x9) lightly with cooking spray. Place whole can of cherry pie filling in bottom of dish. Add crushed pineapple on top of the cherry pie filling making sure it is spread evenly. On top of pineapple add dry cake mix making sure the whole dish is covered. Sprinkle pecans on top of cake mix. Then thinly slice both sticks of butter placing each square across the top each square touching the last side by side until whole dish is covered. Bake in oven for 30-45 minutes until top is golden brown.

Yummy Yummy!

Day 3

Day 3:


A song that makes you happy and a picture of the cast from your favorite show.


A song that makes me happy:


Thompson Square- Are you gonna kiss me or not - I am a sucker for a good love story.


A picture of the cast of your favorite show: Modern Family- who doesn't love Modern Family- it is about the only show that my husband and I both enjoy watching together. 

I also really like Better with you: It kind of reminds me of my family a little in some ways! :) Especially now that my lil sis is a redhead. :) 

Day 2

Day 2-


Your least favorite song and a picture of you and the friend you have been closest with the longest




My least favorite Song:

A picture of me and the friend I have been closest with the longest:


Jen and I have been friends for 10 years. You would think there would be ton of pics of her and I but it was harder than you might to think to find one. I guess we always have other people in the pics with us or one of us is taking the pic. :)

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is just around the corner and I have been researching some ideas online. Of course I can't say what exactly I plan to do because my mother and mother-in-law both have access to my blog so I don't want to give away the surprise. I am not very creative as far as coming up with these ideas but I enjoy making them when someone is able to explain to me how to do it. Here are some of the creative ideas I have found during my research. Now I just have to pick what I think each of our mothers will like best.

Silhouette Gifts

Decorative pot- for plants or other things around the house

Handprinted oven mit or dish towel

Jewelry Holder

For the gardener

Receipt/Coupon Holder or Another receipt/coupon holder or One more

Just a few ideas I found.... haven't yet decided which I might try out!
