Mother Nature is playing tricks on us these days, one day we get hints at warmth, the next it snows, rain the following day. It would be nice not to have to experience all four seasons in the same week! But nevertheless, Spring is trying hard to make it through the last of the dreary Winter and with any luck we'll soon be feeling the sun on our skin (hello vitamin D!) and the grass on our toes (goodbye snow!). I don't know about you, but I actually welcome the cleaning that comes with Spring. … [Read more...]

Sweet and Easy Coconut Cream
Spring is ever so slowly making it's way back to us. I can see a few patches of green on my lawn that was long lost to the white stuff just a couple of weeks ago.
