Spring Fling and Prayers.

I love my girlfriends

15 years and going strong

dinner once a month

restaurants, painting, tea room, beach

or just someones house

this time....

my house

Menu included:

Soup, Salad, Garlic Toast

Chocolate Chip Cookies and Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes

Homemade Sangria

We had a wonderful dinner

After we prayed over my sweet friend Karen who is having surgery today

breast cancer

will you please keep her in your prayers.

She's a good friend and even better mama.

 Table - before I finished setting it though.

 Setting up the dessert bar - and glasses for sangria.

(sangria was a pinterest recipe and it was yummy)

 My sweet friend Tracy - always smiling.

 Another sweet friend - Barb!  Love her.

 These Oreo cheesecake cupcakes were the BOMB.

Seriously look them up on Pinterest - you will be glad you did!

 Kelly and Pam

 The group - minus a few.

 Place settings - little potted plants for everyone to take home.

 A little spring decorating.

More spring decorating

Loving all things yellow this year!

In conclusion, be strong in the Lord; draw your strength from Him.

Ephesians 6:10

This is one of my favorites

Easy and Yummy

Greek Chicken Salad

Ingredients:
Romaine Lettuce

Tomatoes

Cucumbers

Green Peppers

Greek Peperoncini's 

Feta Cheese

Potato Salad

Chicken

Prepare:  

I buy Publix "Red" potato salad (in the deli section)

I bake chicken breast marinated in Viva Italian Dressing

Put the potato salad in the bottom of the salad bowl

Next layer with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, peperoncini's. 

Cut up the chicken breast and lay on top

Next, sprinkle with Feta Cheese

Right before serving pour the dressing and let it saturate through the bottom of bowl.

This is the ONLY dressing I recommend. 

I hope you like it :)

Linking Up to Spring

Springtime make me want to conquer the world.

Having a total obsession with Pinterest make me want to:

*  Cook light beautiful meals for my family

*Clean and organize every closet in the house

*Bake cobblers and drink lemonade

* Lose 20 pounds and wear every pastel item on my "fashion board"

*Plant veggies, herbs and flowers

*Host a spring fling

So, I started by planting a herb basket;

consisting of:

Cilantro, Lemon Balm, Basil and Pineapple Sage

I would highly recommend the Lemon Balm

Put fresh leaves in my mango iced tea (crystal light)

and it totally rocked.

Had an awesome visit to my favorite produce stand last week

will post some pics later

of my meals

yay

The season of renewal and rebirth is upon us.  Like a newborn baby, this season brings with it the sweetness of new beginnings and endless possibilities.

 

Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf!

Psalm 66:5

Gearing Up For the Bunny

Easter is my favorite Holiday

Looking forward to hosting

hmmmm..... 60+ people.

My family, Steve's family and friends.

Our 11th Annual Egghunt and Kickball Game

I'm the captain of the Hunny Bunnies :)

Need to start shopping for trophies and treats

Can't wait!



 THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

 I'm so making this arrangement.

 Adorable eggs - will make these!

 How fun is this?  I've been Boo'd at Halloween but never Egged at Easter.

A lucky neighbor may just get egged!

 Going to make these for my nephews for

Pizza and Egg night - I can't wait.

 I love this Easter dress.  Working on dropping some pounds by then.

Hopefully -or maybe Navy - love that color for Easter too.

 This looks yummy!  Want to make some and bag it for my guests.

 Love this idea.

 Another treat for guest!

 Will certainly make these with my sister....she has a thing for peeps.

 Love these cupcakes!  So making these for dessert!

 What an adorable veggie tray!

Also making these on Pizza and Egg night!

7

My current read. 

"7 : An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess" - 7 is the true story of how Jen took seven months, identified seven areas of excess, and made seven simple choices to fight back against the modern-day diseases of greed, materialism, and overindulgence.

Quiet Morning, My Peeps and Lauren Alena

Nothing makes me happier than waking up

with all my peeps in their bed.

Robert is home for Spring Break

One Week

Will I ever get use to him not living here

I went to bed late

Got up way to early

6 a.m.

on a Saturday

for no reason 

other than to sit here and smile

the quiet of the house

looking in both of their rooms

Savannah in her bed 

Robert in his 

and my sweet hard working hubby in ours

sitting here and contemplating my day

I wondered outside and took a few pics

the sun coming up

the flowers in total bloom

the fruit cocktail tree in bloom

and excited for the 

 Florida Strawberry Festival

seeing Lauren Alena with a favorite friend

sweet Kelly - we are going to eat Strawberries

and listen to our favorite GA peach

Then off to the grand opening of my hubby's 

new bar

The Brass Tap

that sounds funny

he doesn't even drink

but their trendy little bars are happening

and that's good

God is good

Hope your weekend is too.
