Monday Morning Rolls Around

I had made a long list of Monday morning to do's...change sheets, clean out frig and oven, change sheets, 2 loads of laundry, bathrooms, run & empty dishwasher, get trash out of car...

but instead- I'm watching this!

I don't think I could possibly...

...love my husband anymore than I already do!

My Go To Recipe for Sweets

Buttercream Icing Recipe

1/2 cup solid vegetabe shortening

1 stick of butter

1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract

1 pound powdered sugar

2 tablespoon milk

ALWAYS let the butter sit to room temperature before using!

 beat shortening and butter until it is creamy

 add vanilla

slowly add sugar

 

add milk until it comes to the consistency you want

*I usually double this recipe because I hate running out...and who in the world wouldn't mind having some left over frosting?

Easter Sweets

I may have gone a little crazy this year with sweets! Everything Easter-y on pinterest was calling my name. So I made...

 Bunny Bark

 Cupcakes and Brownies galore

 Treat bags for the kids

(who I am so thankful for!)

Egg-stravaganza

I'm willing to bet that everyone involved in this egg hunt slept or was dreaming of snoozing for 2 days after our Easter week weekend! Here we are a week later and I'm finally recovered...we're back to having clean laundry and regularly scheduled meals!

I could tell story upon story but I will let the pictures do that talking!

Anniversary Numero Tres

The hubs and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary last Tuesday. We didn't do an extravagant vacation but we did something we will never forget! We spent the entire week day surrounded by our incredible nieces, nephews and their parents! We cuddled-we laughed-we spoiled! I couldn't imagine spending our special day any other way!

Our anniversary gift to each other this year is...   

Reservations at the beach for 3 nights in July!

30 Days...Starts TODAY!

Do you ever feel like you aren't giving your husband the best of yourself?

Lately I have been thinking more about how I feel rather than how Forrest is doing. Is he exhausted, stressed or buried under with work?

I have made a pledge to myself that I am going to accomplish the 30 Marriage Challenge by this time next month!
