Tea in the Garden
I'm longing for springtime. My daughter and I love to have tea parties
outside anytime there the weather is warm. So I decided I would check out
my white tea pieces and have them ready to party!

Whenever I used to hear about a child who was sick before I became a mother it would make me sad. I would be sad for a little while, but never was I affected the way I am today when I hear about a child who is sick. Now that I am a mother it is a whole new story. When I hear about a child who is hurting or who is ill it hits me hard. It takes my breath away. I look at my baby and think “what if” what if that was my baby? What would I do? Just the thought is enough to bring me to tears.
So Next week Malika's Nursery has this Bake sale that its profit will be going to one NGO working for kids with special need. What happen is each parent bring something to sell and buy from another parent so we all participate and teach the kids about charity work
I was thinking a lot and decided to make my amazing Brownies and was thinking of doing another thing that can be delicious and easy and, I remembered seeing a recipe bout pecan pie truffles that I liked. It had lots of ingredients that I always have at home and seemed easy enough.
Welcome to the inside of our new greenhouse! The outside is not completely finished yet, but I hope to show you it later next week!
Lovely Vanilla Cupcakes from playinghomemademum
I love cake. Simple as that. I have a ridiculously sweet tooth and these delicious cupcakes tick all the boxes.
And the best thing is, they are easy to make. The traditional recipe can easily be scaled up or down according to how many cakes you need to make. Basically, for each egg, use 50g of flour, butter and sugar.
A word on vanilla; I use vanilla pods, as it really does take the cakes to another level. However they are expensive,it is definitely cheaper to buy them online rather than in the supermarket. You can of course use extract/paste if you would rather, but from my own experimentations, vanilla pods give a superior flavour.

February Favorites by Skin Stuff by Katy
Shea Body Butter from The Body Shop. This is one of their really big tubs of body butter that they carry in my store. There are only a few scents in this larger size, but the Shea in particular keeps my skin so hydrated in this nasty, cold weather. We've had snowstorm after snowstorm here, and it's been freezing cold at night, therefore my skin has been a dry, crackly mess! I slather this stuff on after I take a shower. It goes on my arms, legs, stomach, and I even have my husband get my back for me. I've never had dry skin like this before, but I don't need a lot of this, so I'm hoping the massive tub lasts me a while!

Before I made this, I'll have you know I went to Target and found a basic planner. That could have been the end of the story, right? But I stared at that little planner for a long time. Yes...it had a calendar which is what I needed. Yes, it had few places for jotting down notes, which is what I needed. But I just didn't want to purchase it.
Family Prayer Sticks from Shelly @ Dolen Diaries
We typically say grace before we have dinner. The boys often argue over who gets to say it which is both sweet and kind of missing the point. However, our nightly grace was starting to sound a lot like this, “Heavenly Father, I hope this dinner tastes good. Amen.” As much as I like the boys praying that the dinner I thoughtfully prepared would taste good, I thought it was time to make our graces more meaningful.
Famous Last Words from Jenny @ The Jenny Evolution
Before a person has children, it’s easy to pass judgement. And then you have them. It slowly dawns on you that you had absolutely no idea what it meant to be a parent and raise a child. Rather than feeling foolish for all of those bold statements I made about parenthood before joining the club, I’m embracing my naivety and sharing them with you.

How to Primp for a Date Night
from Confessions Of The Perfect Mom
Here is my going out, date night with the hubby makeup look. I am going to use (this is in no particular order): Naked 2 by Urban Decay (eyes), Pink Peony by Bobbi Brown (blush), Maybelinne Big Eyes (mascara), High Tea by MAC (lips), Stay Matte Foundation by Rimmel (Face), Forever Young by Lush (for highlight), Baby Skin by Maybelline (as a primer), and last but never least, Black Cherry by Zethina (gel eyeliner). This is going to sound way way harder to apply then it actually is.

And here are the Featured posts!
April chose Dirty Little Secret Friday {Craft Closet Organization} from View From the Fridge. "Having moved and having things ALL over the place, I'm still looking for the best way to organize a good amount of my belongings. Right now, my craft closet looks like Katie's before. Now that I've seen this, I would love for it to look like the after."
Angel chose Mailbox Rules: Bet You Didn't Know These Existed from Times Squared. " I love this blogger's sense of humor and the way she made the postal rules funny. It was an enjoyable post and the garbage man was just amazing to watch. I amazed that after his fit of destruction that at least he cleaned up after himself, lol."
Stacey chose Newbery Winners by Grade Appropriateness! from Pragmatic Mom. "This is a great list of books, many of which have stood the test of time, and quality reading for school age kids!"
Jessica chose Six Reasons I May Not Be A Real Adult from LadyBlogger. "I think I'm not a real adult too! I am "guilty" of 4 out of the 5 listed. I do watch the weather channel and I'm not sure what gloves or mittens are. I've lived in warm climates since I can remember :)."
Megan chose Hello 2014, Happy New Year! from Jenn's Random Scraps. "I love making waffles on the weekend and buttermilk waffles are definitely the best!"
Angie chose Book Review: The Girls of Atomic City from Stone Cottage Adventures. "My mom was born in Austria during WWII and my father-in-law was a soldier in the US Army & was captured at the "Battle of the Buldge"---- so any true stories about WWII are always special to me. I have put this book on my "to read" list."
Natasha chose Flying with my 3-year-old from Loving Marshall. "After flying with my son for the first time when he was nearly 2, I vowed that I would never do it again. I quickly realized that I didn't have all the tools necessary to make it successful. I wish I had these tips to help guide me through the experience!"
Stacy also chose Flying With My 3-Year Old from Loving Marshall. "I love how Lauren immediately tells us "why" she is writing this particular post (because her cutie pie, Marshall, has already flown 10 times in his 3 short years)! She then proceeds to give us some of her go-to strategies that I found to be extremely helpful!"
The post that received the Most Clicks is
Rose Garden Kitchen from Penny's Vintage Home.
