what i'm cooking

coconut fruit dip

8 oz. cool whip
8 oz. cream cheese
cream of coconut (in the liquor aisle)

cream the coconut and cream cheese until smooth then fold in the whip cream. soooo good!
it makes a lot, so it can be halved.
it would also make an awesome frosting

brocolli/bacon salad

2 heads fresh brocolli flowerets
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds

toss these all together. then whip up

1 cup mayo
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper

mix them together and top with 1 cup of cooked crumbled bacon

when i made this it went fast--everyone loved it!

what i'm cleaning/organizing

i found this idea on pinterest and so far its working out great! and it gave me extra cabinet space in my mudroom.

 

 

what i'm crafting

 

working on a scrapbook of my daughters wedding. trying to finish it this weekend. in the end it will be about 75 pages!

 

 

what i'm planning

 

i just bought a new sewing machine, so i'm planning on getting it out and mending some clothes and making a curtain for grandson ethans room.

 

 

i am also going to clean and organize my mudroom cabinets so that i don't have to struggle to find what i need. i'd also like it to look less cluttered in there.

 

what i'm praying for

 

my country to turn back to God.

unsaved family members

my families health and safety and prosperity

 

 

what i'm thankful for

 

answered prayers: 

 

ethans tear duct finally opened up at 8 1/2 months, right before he was to go get it checked out and possibly worked on.

 

son in law ben going back to work after a winter layoff (he works in a quarry) last week they weren't sure when they would have the financing and this week they called him to start back on monday.

 

i'm thankful for God's love and provision in my life and the lives of my family.
