Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
The boozy baking continues here at Just Us Four. I couldn’t just stop with the whoopie pies so I decided to try out some cupcakes too. After all, cupcakes are where my love of boozy baking originated.
After a few {dozen} texts with Liz, I settled on trying red velvet cupcakes first. She was very supportive and assured me that I couldn’t really mess this up. I mean…I was using wine and nothing is bad with wine 😉

Cinco de Mayo isn’t a real celebration without a drink to enjoy with your meal {especially if that meal is a southwestern style turkey burger}. of course, all good Cinco de Mayo drink recipes have one important ingredients: tequila!
Back when we were visiting New York, we ate dinner at a fantastic Mexican restaurant with amazing {seriously, ah-mazing} margaritas. They weren’t your standard margaritas though and my favorite one prompted me to head home and make one of the key ingredients for future drinks.

By now, I am sure you guys are all thinking that I am some kind of super wine-o with all of the boozy baking going on around here! I mean, we’ve had boozy whoopie pies and now I am bringing you a new cupcake with wine!
These cupcakes are different though…it is sparkling wine after all 🙂

I have an admission to make: I am terrible at keeping things. I’m rarely sentimental and I get on a cleaning/organizing streak and tend to do mass donations without really thinking about what might be a part of them. For that reason, my kids have never had the same Easter basket from year to year.
BUT, I started about two years ago making their Easter baskets work double duty. Gone are the adorable little woven baskets you get from Target that get one use before heading to Goodwill.

March is always a whirlwind around here. I’m typically trying to do some Easter crafts and also working my way through about a dozen different birthdays for friends and kids of friends.
I wanted some fun but really easy Easter crafts to put on our table which is how this little baby was born:

Each year, our neighborhood hosts an Easter Egg Hunt for all of the kids. Since it is the day before Easter, our Easter baskets are already filled with the Easter goodies so our kids need something else to put the eggs they find in. This year, as I was planning my Easter crafts, I decided to find something that they could use later on instead of a random bag or Easter specific item.

“Hello Just Us Four fans. I am Eva Stephen; today’s guest at Just Us Four. So kind of Shannah who lent me space on her wonderful blog. The bright sunlight, refreshing colored flowers everywhere, and birds’ chirp has already announced the arrival of spring and Easter being the first celebration of summer provokes us to just get out of the blankets, greet Spring and have some fun. I wish you all a very happy and revitalizing Spring.”
Regardless of the fact that it happens every year, I still expect each spring with immense delight and impatience, because it never fails to dispel the winter’s blues and bring happiness to my home.
Now, my home is pretty happy as it is, so you can imagine what happens in spring. Just like my heart is bursting with bubbles of joy, my home bursting with colour, cheerful details and fresh, newly bought furniture; sometimes something very small, sometimes huge – like a TV set – depending on my budget at the time. Did you check the new furniture collection at Shop4furniture.net? If not, just do it. It is something not to be missed to welcome
Spring and Summer with zeal.
I love to adorn my home with flowers and refreshing colours and I’m all set for the rebirth of nature and life.

We are totally rocking out on the St. Patrick’s Day crafts this year! With our new basement bar open for visitors, I decided to take some of Mathlete’s older beer glasses {I gave him new ones when the basement was finished} and give them a little St. Patrick’s Day treatment.
Darn if they weren’t the hardest things to photograph EVER!

St. Patrick’s Day crafts are always so fun because they are filled with bright greens, rainbows and, of course, gold!
