Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Posted Monday thru Friday.
Good morning! It’s Friday! It’s Friday! Do you have any plans this weekend? This weekend we plan to work in the yard – a lot. It should be in the high 50’s and sunny here in the Northwest (YES!). I had big hopes for planting things indoors this week – but due to the huge emergency siding project that we had to do the last two weeks (ugh), kids home from school sick (ugh) and other distractions, it didn’t happen this week. But it should this weekend – and I plan to share what I do. Have you planted anything inside? What about outside?
So I’ve been exploring Google+ a bit more this week and I’m finding I like it more and more! If you’re over on Google+ I’d love to add you to one of my circles! This is my personal Google + profile here and then I have a Google+ Queen Bee page here.
Don’t miss this! If you haven’t yet – make sure and head over and enter to win a $300 Great Wolf Lodge gift card.
To celebrate the first day of spring, I’m re-publishing my Spring Cupcakes designs, originally shared in 2013! I haven’t been adding many new recipes lately – mostly because we’ve been eating a lot of items out of the freezer and eating regular old recipes – like tacos! So no exciting recipes lately, but I get a bit more creative in the summer when I have more time to cook. What have you been eating at your place lately?

Hobby Lobby is a great store with a great variety of things on sale each week. They do not accept competitors coupons, but have a 40-50% off coupon each week. They also have an app so if you forget to print your coupon you can pull it up on your phone.

So far, I have 15 cells each of two types of tomatoes started. They are just popping up! I have them in my kitchen window, no lights or anything. I’m hoping that by Mother’s Day they will be big and pretty enough to be gifts.
