Hi there

Thank you all so much for your kindness and love this week.

Monday I unexpectedly lost my aunt, who was more like a sister to me.

Bridgett was just 64 years old. My family is heartbroken. Life won't be the same without her laugh and smile. It's so weird to know I can't just pick up the phone and call her. We talked all the time.

Bridgett I'll miss you terribly but you'll never be forgotten and you'll always be in my heart!

I can't thank you enough for the outpouring of love and support. It's meant the world to me and my family during this difficult week.

Thanks for the lovely birthday wishes too!

This weekend is Mother's Day! Lets shower mom with love! I never want fancy gifts. Homemade cards and time with my family is all I want.

Why not treat mom to a delicious Mother's Day brunch at home!

My Absolute Favorite Brunch Bake is my go to recipe on holidays.

This is one of my most popular recipes. Everybody loves it! I love it because it's all in there! It's loaded with hash brown potatoes, sausage, eggs, and cheese. There's also a few secret ingredients that make this seriously the best egg bake ever!

You can throw this together the night before. In the morning, you add a couple more ingredients and then bake it when you're ready.

Trust me. This is a WINNER! Why not make it this weekend!

My Fruit Salad with Honey Poppy Seed Dressing will look so beautiful on your brunch table! Every brunch needs a pretty fruit salad. This is ALWAYS a winner!

My Overnight Blueberry French Toast is another family favorite. It's so easy! You make the night before and then just pop it in the oven thew next morning!

Serve this sausage, ham or my Brown Sugar Bacon! Total yum!

Gotta have a sweet treat too! When my kids are home for the holidays they always beg me to make my Streusel Bundt Coffee Cake! It's the BEST EVER and so easy because it starts with a yellow cake mix. This recipe is one of my most popular. If you haven't made it, you need to!

Why not surprise your family and make it this weekend!

Kick of Mother's Day dinner with my Best Ever Layered Salad. Growing up my grandmother always made this salad for special occasions. The creamy Parmesan peppercorn dressing sits on top so you can make this salad ahead and it won't get soggy. LOVE that! Trust me. Your gang with love this salad!
