Acini Di Pepe Salad

January 17, 2014 by Lisa Park + 2 Comments

Acini Di Pepe Salad

I love salads that are simple to make, and something that the kids love! This Acini Di Pepe Salad is a family tradition to make around the holidays. We actually call it “Frog-Eye Salad” because of the round pasta. I was going to post this recipe sooner, but I had so many great recipes I’ve wanted to share with you over the past month. I hope you enjoy trying out this recipe!

    Hi, Lisa!

    My name is Courtney, and I’m stopping in by way of the Bloggy Moms Facebook hop. I just “liked” your FB page, too, Since money doesn’t grow on trees (but, man, I sure wish it would!), your blog name immediately caught my attention. I blog at The Brown Girl with Long Hair (http://www.thebrowngirlwithlonghair.com/), which is a lifestyle blog — I dabble in everything from kids, motherhood, organization, shopping, fashion, and being an NFL football wife. Would love for you to stop by when you can! Have an awesome weekend.

Every January I choose a few places in my home tha Every January I choose a few places in my home that are unorganized and are "problem areas" that are messy. I then figure out how I can organize the area and make it more functional. 

This week I tackled our clothes closet. (Swipe left to see how unorganized it was. 😳) The top shelf was really messy. I ordered some clothes containers online that weren't too expensive.  I then sorted through all the clothes, packed away clothes and bags that were not being used and taking up space, and refolded the clothes that were still being used.

The closet looks so much better! And my husband likes it too. 😀  You can see more of what I did in my Instagram stories or by going to the "Closet Organize" highlight bubble.
