I love the internet. It does so many things for me. I keep in touch with family and friends far away. I see photos of my friends little ones growing up. I learn how to make delicious meals for my family. I get all sorts of tips that help me live my life just a tad bit better. And of course there is Netflix. Here are some links that I have found recently that I have loved.
We got anaheim peppers in our Bountiful Basket last week so we made these for a family get together. Even the ones who don’t like spicy foods were fans of these. Jared made them all on his own too so that made them a winner in my book.
My girls love to color but Emily always wants to color specific things, not just a random picture in the coloring book. This site has everything and I love that some pictures are easier than others.
We cleaned our carpets this week. I am not a fan of commercial cleaners for anything in our home but the idea of using harsh chemicals on the carpet that my tiny baby plays on really bugged me. I found this and was very excited because it was so similar the my carpet spot cleaner recipe. It worked great and I added a couple drops of lavender and lemon oil to add some extra fresh smell.
A friend posted this site to Facebook a couple weeks ago and I fell in LOVE!!! If I had all the money in the world I would buy every single one of these and never wear anything else! Check it out. The prices are really good as well.
I love baking with my girlies. It’s a bonding experience and if it gets stressful, which it often does with 2 kids who want to do everything, there is dessert at the end to make me feel all better! This recipe has been a huge hit with our whole family. It’s not too sweet and it is really pretty to look at which makes it more fun for the girls. It’s also really simple so if you are looking for a great Easter dessert that will have your family thinking you went all out, here it is!
We took the girls to see Cinderella a couple weeks ago and we all loved it. Even Jared enjoyed it, despite the singing, dancing and mushy stuff. In the movie, Ella’s mother sings her a lullaby that I had never heard of before. I happen to love nursery rhymes and lullabies so as soon as we got home I looked it up. This version is not near as pretty as the one in the movie but it did help me learn the words so I could sing it to little man.

And finally, because this idea did come from her, here is a link to my Mom's blog. It only carries a teeny tiny percentage of her wisdom and you are guaranteed to learn something from it.
