Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Just wanted to share with you what we had hopping around our backyard this weekend!

What's blooming in my yard

I love spring! I especially love all the new flowers that come up in the spring. I thought it would be fun to take you on a little tour of what's blooming in my yard! If you are from the south, chances are you have an azealea bush in your yard. I have about four different colors in my yard, but these are my favorite! Also, we have a Dogwood tree, the North Carolina state flower! This is a "bleeding heart" plant. Very unique and fun! Last but not least, my favorite, the Iris. I just love their vivid purple color! Enjoy all the beautiful new life around you, because God created it for us to enjoy. Happy Spring!

Springtime Nests

I just got done making these adorable little "springtime nests" for my daughter as a surprise. They are so yummy and so super easy to make! She just loved them! I wanted to share the recipie so everyone could enjoy!

Springtime Nests

1 c. butterscotch chips
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
1/3 c. sugar
2 1/2 c. chow mein noodles
2 c. cornflakes, crushed lightly
Malted milk egg chocolates or jelly beans

1. Combine butterscotch, corn syrup, peanut butter, and sugar in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, until melted, stirring at 30 second intervals.
2.Stir in noodles and cornflakes until equally coated with mixture. Quickly drop "nests" onto waxed paper! and make an idention on each for eggs. Add 2-3 eggs per nest.
All packaged up and ready to go to the neighboors! (Mersina wanted to share some with the kids across the street).

Spring!!!!!!!

Spring has sprung in NC!!! I am so excited to see green again! The past 3 days have been 70-ish here! Let me tell you, it's hard to be in a bad mood with weather like that!
Buttercups (that's what we call them in the South) have been my favorite flower since I was a little girl. Seeing these in my yard is a sure sign spring is very close!
My puppies cannot stand for me to be outside without them, so if you look close, you can see them peeking out the door trying to figure out what their Mommy is doing! Is Spring starting to arrive where you live?

PS: I need followers you guys!
