Dear Joy the Baker,
You spoke to me today.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
So you did it for me.
Thank you.
Love,

Pinata Please

Egan; creative, hilarious, hot bod, sister-of-mine, decided we ought to make a pinata for Easter. 'Duh, I said, cause a pinata on Easter make so much sense." So away we went...I got as far as helping her put on the first layer of paste and newspaper and then she took care of the rest.




On Easter we assisted Egan in getting the little one's on to Pin the Tail on the Bunny.




Then onto a scavenger hunt!!!


Ending with surprise! A pinata!!!


I had to step in and help. Obviously.

Strawberry Muffins

I know. This isn't supposed to be a food blog. But I can't NOT post about these muffins. Easter Sunday I woke up and making muffins just felt right. The sky was BLUE, the sun was OUT...it felt good. I yanked all the shades open in the house, cranked open the window in our kitchen and baked away. It's another recipe from everybody likes sandwiches.

We neglected to top it with cinnamon & sugar. Still great muffins. Strawberrys and a hint of orange zest. All I want in a muffin.

weekend rundown

Teen blogged about our fantastic weekend. I couldn't let this Monday go without reporting on what a lovely weekend it was. With a great hook up from work I got to attend the Saturday morning session of my church's General Conference. I, along with Kristine and two other friends, sat on the floor of the Confernce center. If you've ever been inside of the Conference center then you understand what great seats those are. That place is ginormous.
I was spiritually uplifted, rejuvinated, and excited.
The weather was perfection! We took 2, count em 2, walks on Saturday. Lots of nature polaroids to show you.

I'm very easy to please...

I've already told you how much I love breakfast. It's one of the best things in life. That's why today when I purchased a waffle iron I gave it a hug and whispered little secret delights we would share this weekend.

Although the pictured waffle iron was not the purchase today, it is probably the coolest appliance everrr.
