Yummies for my family--Instagram style

I love providing delicious food for my family.

This simply makes us all very happy!

The other day, I baked cookies for TJ's Spanish class party--and extras for later, of course!  

I now have a nice big bag in the freezer just waiting for when they are needed... early in the morning to pop into 5 sack lunches... to quickly defrost for a Friday night movie...or sweet mid day treat... oh the possibilities are endless:)

And just look at that bowl of fresh strawberries...all washed and ready for hungry boys soon-to-be-home-from-school.  They will be gone in no time! 

 Feeding good food to the people you love is a beautiful thing! 

These are just two of the pictures I posted on Instagram recently.

  It is so fun!

Are you  an Instagram-er too? 

If so lets be instagram friends...my account is melandboys (of course) 

 I am pretty new to instagram, but I am lovin' it!

Amazing Home Fragrance Idea

Ok I am not totally sure where I got this little tip...a friend, facebook or Pintrest but it is AMAZING and I had to share it with you all:)

The rumor is that this is what they do at William Sonoma,, which is one of my all time favorite shops, and it does always smell so good in there! This mixture of lemon, rosemary and a splash of vanilla is magical!  It really does make your home smell WONDERFUL!

This is perfect--seriously you have got to try it!  Rosemary plants are super cheap right now so pick one up.  Not only will you love it for this home fragrance, but then you can make this yummy Macaroni Grill Bread too! Trust me, your family will thank you!

Perfect Home Fragrance

1 sprig of fresh Rosemary

1 Lemon, sliced
Water

A Splash of  Pure Vanilla Extract
