This is from A Thrifty Mom where she shows how to paint abstract bubbles in a Mommy & Me paint night. What a super cute idea!

Summer Bulb Planting Tips
I know this is not what I usually post, but I'm posting things from Facebook so I'm able to pin them to my Pinterest. I love to garden and am always open to tips! Boisterous summer flowering bulbs can be a little intimidating to design with, so I've got some tips for how to plant your lilies, canna and others for maximum impact.Summer Bulb Planting Tips
Pinning From Facebook
It drives me absolutely nuts that I see so many great ideas and recipes on Facebook and I can't pin them to my Pinterest. Ultimately I end up messaging them to myself so I have them stored somewhere but going through to find something specific is an absolute pain in the you-know-what! This post is strictly a trial to see if I am able to link to a Facebook post and pin from this blog post so I can have all these great ideas organized on my Pinterest...Wish me luck! ;)
*Side Note: I wasn't able to pin from the link because there wasn't an image to pin from so, I did a screenshot of the video to show what the video was about and ta-da!
*Also, if anyone happens to notice that one of these links no longer works because the video/post was removed from Facebook, please let me know!

Candy Shop Truffle
Another glorious Facebook find!
1 box chocolate cake mix
2 boxes of low fat chocolate jello instant pudding
4 cups of milk (as per the pudding directions)
1/4 cup peanut butter (plus 2 tbsp for drizzling)
1 large container of low fat cool whip
1 bag of mini Reese peanut butter cups (chopped into pieces)
1 large bag of Reese's pieces
Bake the cake as per the directions on the box. Let cool completely.
Let cool whip thaw out until it's easier to spread.
Make the pudding as per the directions on the box, at the very end before you let it set stir in the 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Let set.
Crumble the cake into a trifle dish (or bowl), top with 1/2 of the pudding mixture, then add a layer of cool whip (1/2 the container), and then sprinkle 1/2 of the chopped Reese peanut butter cups and 1/2 the bag of Reese's pieces.
Do another layer exactly the same: cake, pudding, cool whip, candy.
Put the 2 tbsp of peanut butter into the microwave for about 45 seconds to melt, then drizzle over top of the trifle
