t’s been awhile since I’ve posted a recipe and I am so excited about this one!

Today I made two things in the kitchen that I have NEVER made before and had to share them with you because they are just so easy to make and way to yummy to keep to myself!

Homemade pie crust-check
Fresh strawberry pie- check

Ok.
I’m done being mean now.
I won’t make you wait any longer in suspense.
So what exactly did I pull out of this happy little package?

……in my mailbox this morning?!
Go on.
Take a WiLd guess!

Spring has sprung in our neck of the woods and this past weekend I decided that it was finally time to clean out the van.

Here’s my confession: I do not clean our van during the winter.
Sure, there are half hearted attempts to pick up random food wrappers or collect a shoe here and a sock there (our youngest has issues with keeping her socks and shoes on anytime we go somewhere) but the icy cold weather keeps me from doing a full blown vacuum, dust, window washing overhaul until the spring hits.

Is that gross?
Um yup. It’s totally gross.

This weekend I found a half eaten fruit leather stuck to the carpet under my three year old’s seat.
I discovered a box of pizza that still had a few pieces in it (left over from my son’s pizza day at school) stashed between the seat in the back. {shudder}
Countless fish cracker crumbs scattered EVERYWHERE with yucky pieces of McDonalds fries mixed in for fun.
Random sweaters, socks, mismatched shoes, toys and food wrappers covering every square inch….
I’m not exaggerating. I really should have taken pictures.
It took forever just to get the van emptied in order to do the real deep down clean.

My heart gets full of junk too.
