Happy Tuesday!

I have been bloated ever since Easter and have still been eating the yummy left overs. Here is my Easter dinner over view.

Ham: I used this recipe from Paula Deen. It turned out fabulous, and everyone loved it!

I made a 7 layer salad from my mother's recipe. It has lettuce, bacon, onion, celery, cheese, egg, and a mayonnaise dressing. This is always one of my favorites.

Mashed potatoes... Pretty self explainatory.

Pretzel salad: Another family recipe: Bottom layer is pretzels, middle layer is cream cheese and cool whip, above that was jello with strawberries, and cool whip on top.

That was our Easter dinner. If you would like recipes of these I can send them just shoot me an email. Everything turned out fabulous, and we enjoyed ourselves.

I hope your Easter was great too!!

Master Bedroom

It's time to start thinking about my master bedroom! It has been neglected for a long time now and I am at a loss for what to do with it now. You see, the ceilings are very low and I can't figure out how to put a headboard in for our bed. I originally wanted to DIY a fabric headboard, but don't know how I would put it in or where to put it. So, here are some pictures, any ideas would be fabulous!


Spring gardens!

It's been quite a while since I last blogged. I decided to grab some coffee and get back to blogging my life away.

I was a little depressed over the our winter here in Montana, it was long and boring and I didn't like it one bit. We had foot after foot of snow dump down on us this first winter here and it was horrible. I am such an outside person, I like to work out and hike, and go on long walks with the dogs. I couldn't do that for 7 months :(. Not fun. The dogs didn't like being trapped inside either. Poor things.

Now that it is getting sunny and the snow has finally melted, I am planning my garden and flower planting ideas. My yard is going to be epic this summer!! I am going to plant some tomatos, peppers, lettuce, watermelon, and cucumbers and then I'm going to can a lot of tomatoes for the winter time.

I already started to plant my herbs in little pots and they are inside on my window seal. The basil is already starting to pop up!!

That's all for now, hope your all doing well!
