Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. I share with you what’s happening with me – and I LOVE to hear about what’s happening with you.
Good morning!
It was a gorgeous night last night here in the Northwest – so the whole family bundled up and went outside to have some fun and get some fresh air. For my husband and I that meant weeding! We haven’t touched our raised beds all winter and they had all sorts of weeds and plants in them. In just about an hour we made some major progress in our six raised beds – which completely motivated and encouraged me! Later today we are getting two yards of organic garden mix (dirt) and three yards of beauty bark delivered – so we will be very busy these next couple weeks but I’m sort of giddy about the outcome. Of course I’ll be sharing our progress as we go. What about you? Are you starting to get out and dig in the dirt yet?
Yesterday I shared a helpful tip for cleaning dry erase boards! Look at the before and after photos for my kids easel. It’s like night and day and it only cost me $0.77 cents and some scrubbing.

RECIPES & MEAL PLANNING

I love homemade pesto. If you can ever find basil on markdown at your local grocery store (or check international stores for inexpensive basil), you can make your own. Here’s a recipe for homemade pesto, plus a tip for how you can freeze it for easy meals later.
