Happy Monday!

I spent most of the weekend outside beautifying the yard, both front and back. It was great! I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun doing yard work. You’ll see pics of my hard work later this week. Until then, some techy music

Brandon showed this to me over the weekend, and we both think its pretty amazing. People assign sounds to the different buttons and then play “dubstep” style music.  What’s dubstep? you’ll just have to watch and listen.

Margaritas are my favorite cocktail by far. There are endless variations and possibilities. The Margarita’s signature holiday is coming up this weekend, so its more than appropriate to link up a ton marg recipes to help figure out which one you want to whip up for Cinco de Mayo!

(if you follow on me on pinterest I’m sure you saw this post coming from miles away since I usually have a pinning marathon to gather up all my links for these round up posts. If you want a sneak peek into my future round up posts, follow me on pinterest!! )

pasta primavera recipe

There’s something about Mondays and my need to add an ‘m’ descriptor to them. While it’s Music Monday here in blogland, in dinner land it is Meatless Monday. Sometimes there’s other meatless nights, but I like to stick to Mondays because face it, Meatless Wednesday just doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

mom’s day cards – FREE printable

mothers day card free printable

It’s that time of year to celebrate mom, grandma, aunt, or whoever else has been a special part of your life. As I get older I realize more and more just how selfless my mom was and still is to always be there when I or my siblings needed her. Taking one day a year to appreciate that is the least I can do. This year I’m sharing the love with all of you to help you tell your mom just how great she is.

Happy Monday!

I’ve been nominated for a few blog awards lately, and I am so honored that the bloggers thought of me for the awards. First, Beverly of Redbamsews gave me the Liebster blog award (a while ago, and I honestly forgot to post about it until I got the other awards) and both Faye of ButtonsandBeeswax and Esther of WhollyKao nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award. Thanks everyone!
