I am getting excited about the 4th of July being just around the corner! What are your plans?

Lemon Brownies or Lemonies
Hello friends! Did you have some crazy weather this week? We sure did here in the South. On Wednesday the kids were out of school because of the threat of bad winds and tornado watch.

The BEST Deviled Eggs
This is the time of year when I make lots of Deviled eggs and Egg Salad sandwiches in an effort to use all our dyed eggs. My boys LOVE to color eggs and so we always have at least 3 dozen on hand after Easter. On Sunday I had my son whip up a batch of (what we consider) the best deviled eggs after church and I realized I had never posted our favorite recipe. We love these simple and flavorful
