This is a fun little twist on the classic No-Bake Cookie, just in time for Spring!

Abbi takes her job as big sister pretty seriously.  So, when we told them that they couldn’t pick the tulips, she was all about making sure Zoe followed the rules. For more Wordless Wednesday fun, check out 5 Minutes for Mom.

It’s kind of funny…we live in Michigan…the amount of time we actually get to be outside, enjoying our lawn, is heavily out-weighed by the amount of time we’re stuck inside due to wet or cold weather.  And yet, we break our backs (and often our bank) to make our lawn look nice!  I’d be happy [...]

I’m pretty sure she had to stop and smell every tulip when we went downtown on Mother’s Day. And that’s a lot of tulips!

Ah, Spring Break. It’s a week long event that brings about mixed feelings depending on what stage of life you are in. In elementary and middle school school I liked Spring Break for the first day or two, then I just missed my friends and was bored (we didn’t do any traveling on Spring Break [...]

Despite the fact that we are supposed to be getting freezing rain/snow this week, I still have Spring Cleaning on the brain!  This week we are cleaning the *hidden* areas of our house and taking care of those tasks that you just don’t think about doing.  This week we are replacing batteries and filters! I’ll [...]

Yesterday marked the official beginning of Spring and it could not have come soon enough!  I’m so ready to be done with the snow and cold and grey, dreary days of Winter.  I want Spring.  I want green grass and flowers and birds and SUNSHINE! The first day of Spring also marks the beginning of [...]
