Spring Cleaning Free Printable

     
        I don't know about you but I usually need a little motivation to do certain projects...don't get me wrong, I do like a clean house but there are some projects that are just too tedious for me! Example: the junk drawer...you know you all have one!  It's filled with all sorts of odds and ends that I couldn't throw away yet have no place.  It gradually fills up until finally it's a complete disaster.  That's just one example to name a few.  So for my huge Spring Clean I like to make a list...why not make it cute if you can help it right??  I made a blank one for all of you as promised before so that you could go ahead and add your own chores on there since we all have different areas we want to focus on.  I am sticking mine in a glass frame and writing on it with a dry erase marker so that way I can use it again and again!  When you are finished you can take out the glass and add some paper flowers for a cute Spring decoration or print off an extra one.  I will post pictures when I am finished to give you an idea!  I hope you all enjoyed the last menu, it was one of my favorites!  The Reese's Popcorn and Macaroni Grill Bread recipes were included in there.  Let me know if you guys are using the recipe cards and I will make a quick batch for the last menu and keep them going for the rest of the menu's!  What Spring Cleaning Tips can you throw my way, I would love to hear them!  Enjoy!

Did You Miss Me??

April Menu and Fun Recipes!

       I'm back!!  Did you miss me?? After a good 6 (and a half) week long break, I am finally getting back on my feet again and starting to get organized!  Phew...spring is here and my house is in definite need of some organization and spring cleaning...want to join me??  No?? Well at least I have some fun printables next week to share that will help aid you in organizing your life...okay, maybe not your life...but your house and that's the first step right?  So with the long awaited return comes some awesome new and fun recipes!  I have been especially trying to eat healthy right now, it just seems that with warmer weather it is so much easier to eat healthier....although with Easter comes Cadbury Eggs...hmmm.  I have been seeing these "Green" Smoothie recipes everywhere and decided to give it a go and make up my own.  I was pleasantly surprised and more than happy to board this train!  These are amazing and sound disgusting but you HAVE to try them!  It is an easy way to get your kids to eat veggies and fruit without taking away any of the nutrients and no added sugar....does it get any better than this? That's what I thought.  This smoothie is packed with Spinach, Bananas, Almond Milk, Yogurt, Strawberries, Pineapple, Mango, Wheat Germ and Flax Seed...you could even throw in some Avocado for added protein if you wanted and I am beyond sure that it would still taste amazing.  I also have a Macaroni Grill Bread recipe to share and if you have eaten there, you know that this stuff is addicting and oh so delicious.  I always add in a little wheat or all wheat to help boost the nutrients in it.  Last but not least I have an awesome popcorn recipe...I debate sharing this because it is ridiculously hard to put down...once you start you can't stop eating this stuff.  I will share those on some recipe cards throughout the week along with the fun Spring Cleaning printables which you will NOT want to miss out on so pass it along to your friends and enjoy your April Menu and Recipes!  Enjoy!
