How I'm Using Pinterest This Weekend...



Hello Friday!  It's been a long week and I'm so glad you're here.  We have a busy weekend planned starting with going to see a local high school production of Grease tonight.  This is the high school where my boys will go someday and their musicals are always fabulous so we're all looking forward to it.  I told my boys that I know Every Word to Every Song in Grease.  They weren't impressed!  The only comment I got was, "Mom, PLEASE don't sing"!!  Oh, Alright I won't.  Geesh!

So, after a night out with the boys, what am I going to do for the rest of the weekend?  Pinterest projects, of course!  The Pinterest projects this weekend will mostly be cooking and assembling a gift for a new Mom who has had some complications after her C-section.  Baby is doing great...Mom is struggling.  Our office is putting together meals for her for next week after her Mom-In-Law goes back home.  Below is what I'll be working on and if you click on the photos you'll go to the Pinterest links for more information.


Box of Sunshine
Since new Mom has been having a hard time this week, I'm assembling a Box of Sunshine for her.  I've been collecting some yellow items and I'll box it up and deliver it with the food next week.  This is such a cute idea and I hope it brightens her day a little.  I also featured this on Project Encourage.  I'll be telling you more about Project Encourage next week.  You can click on the link for more information or see the photo in the sidebar to go the site.   





Several of us are preparing food items to deliver to new Mom so I've decided comfort food is what my contribution will be...

Buttery Rolls
These rolls are so good and easy because I make the dough in my bread machine and then roll out the dough, shape the rolls and place in a pan.  Super easy and delicious. We'll be eating these rolls this weekend too since the recipe makes 24 rolls.



Baked Ziti
This is one of our favorite recipes and this time I'll be doubling the recipe so I can give one to new Mom and place one in our freezer.



Cherry Bar Cookies
This is a new recipe for me so hopefully they turn out. 



I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Until Next Time,

Jackie

  6. My blessings to the new mom. It's so nice of all of you to help her. She will love the box of sunshine. It is a fabulous idea. By the way, we went to a high school play last Friday night also, Cats. Granddaughter had a part in the dance line. So much fun to watch. Love your pictures. I want a roll and some ziti right now!
