Is there anything sweeter than a momma bird feathering her nest...and then the little eggs waiting to hatch? DO you LOVE SPRING?
I have felt like a momma bird feathering my nest over the past week while the kiddies were gone...and last night we were all together for a very fun family dinner night. Nothing beats cleaning house and making a nice hot dinner for family.
It used to be that I would make crockpot dinners on Monday nights quite a bit. It was great because Monday is laundry day...but somewhere along the line, I stopped doing it. Anyhoo, last night we enjoyed dinner made by the crockpot. All I had to do was plug it in and add some mushrooms my momma had picked, make a salad and the bread took all of five minutes...so not bad at all!
I love the chattering, the craziness, and the VOLUME of a full house. Vacation laundry was going during dinner and we had Nana's machine going with Rachel's laundry and ours going with Rissy's mounds of clothes. Nana folded all of Rachel's laundry and I had to stuff the rest of Rissy's wet laundry into a bag for her to finish at school. BAD MOMMA! Well, the girlies were in a rush because they had homework to do that DID NOT GET DONE
duringspring break. Imagine that!
Caleb was full of stories from his trip to Mexico, as well. Thank you for praying for him. It was an amazing trip for him. I think he is still tired from all the hard work and can NOT wait to do it again next year.
So, the macaroons are the same recipe I used for the lime macaroons without the lime. I thought they would be cute made into little nests. A little reminder of what a priviledge it is to be a nurturing momma bird! As tiring and full of messes it can be at times!
I am making these little sweet treats for Easter...they are packaged into a small BIO BOX from Cash and Carry. They fit perfectly and will be fun to package and make tags for. I think I found the perfect ribbon, too!
Happy Tuesday!
