OFFICE REMODEL FOR A SPRING PROJECT

We recently finished our office remodel and I am excited to share it with you.  

Every year my husband and I do a home improvement project.  It seems that when you own a home the project list never ends.  We have lived in our home for 29 years, but we still have things to do.  This year we decided to do an office remodel for the spring project.

EASTER EGG HUNT AT GRANDMA MAGGIE’S HOUSE

What child does not love an Easter egg hunt!  To a child, it rates right up there with Christmas morning and Trick or Treat.

Easter egg hunts and special memories.

 

Growing up, our family always had the most extravagant  egg hunts.  My mother worked on planning the family Easter egg hunt all year long.  She would fill the extra bedroom with wrapped prizes that made it look like Christmas morning.  She always included those large pre-filled Easter baskets that were filled with large toys.  She would usually have at least 30-40  prizes.

VALENTINE’S DAY WITH GRANDPA BOB

Valentine’s Day is usually celebrated with candy, flowers, cards, or a special dinner date.  It is so much fun to find a new way to show that special person how much you love them.  You don’t have to spend a lot of money to do this. 
Grandpa Bob and I spent Valentine’s weekend snuggled in our cozy home, making lots of good food, watching romantic movies, and just having fun. 
We were planning on going to our favorite lake resort, Stonewall Lake Resort.  They have a wonderful Valentine’s weekend package and we have done this in previous years. valentines day, stonewall lake resortvalentines day, stonewall lake resort

PASTA SALAD FOR 2- – DOWNSIZED COOKING RECIPE

Protein Packed Pasta Salad is a great high protein food, delicious and good for you.

It is so cold and snowy here in WV that I could eat a warm bowl of homemade soup every day.  For the past 2 weeks my husband has been asking me to make a pasta salad.  I usually fixed this in the summer or when I need to take something to a covered dish event to feed a large crowd.  My original recipe serves about  10 people.

To please my husband, I made this for my downsized recipe this week.
