5 novels for spring

5 Novels for Spring – Add These to Your Reading List! (she: Victoria)

ByVictoria

Last month I shared some of my favorite reasons of why I love my local library so much. This month to go along with my favorite past time of reading, I wanted to share with you 5 novels for spring, which are some of my favorite books that I have personally read and loved over the years.

These are the novels that have stayed with me long after I turned the final page. The stories that made me disappointed to learn there was no sequel or continuation. That’s what makes a good story though, the development of characters and the words so well written, you feel like you are actually there taking part in the story yourself.

The Tender Mercies in Our Lives ~ Sunday Sunshine #7

ByMariel

I look forward to conference every year, seriously. It makes me happy and I was thinking I would like to share a few of my most favorite conference talks with you on Sundays, for the next few weeks, so you can get a glimpse into what listening to conference is like (enlightening, uplifting, and inspirational!)

So, for today’s Sunday Sunshine, I wanted to share a talk that I love, called The Tender Mercies of The Lord…

Funfetti Cheesecake Dip ~ Delicious Dessert Dip Recipe

ByJen Lynn

Spinach artichoke dip is one of my very favorites. I order it from every restaurant that has it on the menu. And I’m not too picky about the vehicle I use to transfer it from bowl to mouth. Although chips or pita slices are often the preferred choice, I have been known to reach right for a spoon. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I’ve even scraped the bowl clean with my finger. Ask my husband. He’ll tell you.

To try something a little different, I decided to prepare a sweet dip for our dessert while my mom was in town to visit. Something silky and light that would go great with a reduced fat cookie. Here’s what I came up with:

15 Minute Meal – Creamy Tomato Fettuccine with Salmon (she: Nicky)

ByNicky

Although my family aren’t too fussy when it comes to dinner time (ok, we’re all human dust-bins really), I do struggle with meat-free dishes.

If I serve up a completely vegetarian dish, I usually find everyone looking up expectantly, waiting for me to put the ‘main dish’ on the table.
I’ve had a couple of great successes (my Cheesy Veggie burgers were a real hit – no bacon required yay!), but for the most part, trying to get one or two meat-free dishes in per week simply isn’t going to happen.

Now fish – I know I can get away with. So meals like this Creamy Tomato Fettuccine with Salmon are my savior in trying to reduce the meat consumption just a little.

DIY Spring Wreath (she: Susan)

BySusan

Hello! Susan from Love of Home here, I’m so happy to be bringing some Spring inspiration today. I have a simple DIY Spring wreath to share with you. This is an inexpensive way to freshen things up. I always try to make our home warm and welcoming. I think a wreath on the door or in the entry does that perfectly. This one was created for our mudroom. Do you need inspiration for your wreath? Try looking through a magazine, or check out Pinterest. I love to start with a simple grapevine wreath. The one I used is from the Target’s bargain aisle for only $3.00.
