Frosty Morning Kitchen Towels

There was a lovely snowfall here this week.  The roads are clear now, but the trees and grass are still covered in white glitter.  Our forecast has more snow predicted for tonight!  Did I mention how much I love snow?  'Probably because we don't get it very often here.  It feels like such a joyous treat when everything is shimmering with tiny ice crystals!

Let's Have a Picnic!

Mother's Day is just around the corner.  My family will be asking what I'd like to do.  I'm always excited for a picnic!  Today's post is a super simple salad for Summer as part of the monthly Pinterest Challenge.  This recipe is easy enough for kids to help make, and the ones around here love to eat it!
