Spring Spirit

Yesterday I was in the spring spirit. I said my favorite flavor of spring was coconut. I followed Lindsay’s advice for spring cleaning-to be more spontaneous. What better way to do this than to buy….

001A coconut!
I was meandering around the store yesterday looking for ingredients for the awesome, AWESOME soup (I cannot wait to share..!) and I saw a coconut .. so I bought it!

Now what do I do with it?!

Any ideas??!

I had a delightful and fast weekend, how about you? I finished up my last swim meet and went to the mall with my boy (he needed new shorts) Sunday was filled with church and homework. Also my boyfriend’s trampoline. I. LOVE. TRAMPOLINES. [Can ya tell I used to be a gymnast?]

How about some pictures?
