Three Things - April

April 8, 2019



Hello blog friends.  Welcome to Three Things April.

I am joining Laura from The Horton Family for her Three Things Series.  Laura doesn't have a link party, but we all write and answer the writing prompts for each month.  It will be posted on the second Monday of the month.

Here are the Three Things Question and Answer Prompts.



1)  What 3 Things are on your Spring Bucket List?

1)  Spring Shopping.  I started my spring shopping recently by buying flip flops.  To me, that screams spring/summer.  Some of you might have recognized this photo of the flip flops from my Instagram @brklynhousewife. 




2)  Gardening.  I plant flowers in my yard and garden every Spring.

  

3)  Spring cleaning our basement.  We need to organize one section in our basement that is filled with boxes, books, and a lot other items.  We both have been putting off this project for quite a while.



2)  Spring cleaning, Spring forward, or Spring Break.  Which is your favorite and why?

My favorite is Spring Break!



I love spring break and taking spring vacations.  This photo was taken when we took a family vacation to California a few years ago to visit our friend.  It's fun to travel on spring break to visit someplace warm and I enjoy going to the beach to relax.



3)  What 3 dishes will be on your Easter menu?

We usually spend Easter with my husband's aunt and cousins.  We always have a big feast that consists of a beef roast, honey baked ham, and vegetables.  My husband's aunt always serves her homemade Pizza Rustica Meat Pie and Spaghetti Pie.

1)  Pizza Rustica Meat Pie



I was lucky to be given the recipe to make Spaghetti pie by a different aunt.  Here is the recipe to make Spaghetti Pie.

2)  Spaghetti Pie



For dessert, we always have fruit, cake, cookies, pastries, coffee, and espresso.  I always bring assorted desserts for this Easter celebration.

One year we made and decorated cupcakes with pastel frosting and added peeps on top of the cupcakes.  We will make something fun like that again this year to bring for Easter dessert.

3)  Dessert - Cupcakes with Peeps




Thanks for stopping by to read my Three Things April.  Hope you all have a great day!
