Apron Strings & Blessings Weekly Newsletter Vol. 39
Thanks for joining me for this week’s, “Apron Strings & Blessings.” Let’s take a look at a few things faith, family, and home!
It has been a pretty busy and eventful few days around here. As many of you know, my aunt passed away and we had her celebration of life last Thursday. She would have been pleased to have seen the family all together.
I feel like she set such a great example of giving. If you read the post I put out right before she passed away, you know she found Joy in giving – it was her gift! I want to be more like her in this area!
We also got to spend some time with Jay’s family.
The Ranger game didn’t go so well for us, but the company was great! You can definitely tell the brothers, and their sister in the middle favors them as well.
I hope this week is filled with many blessings for you. Be sure to let me know if you have specific prayer needs.

Latest Saturday Morning Devotional
Saturday’s Post – Messages of Peace and Hope from “Sweet Hour of Prayer”
I have a side note about this song. I chose this song for my aunt’s funeral specifically for the last verse. Wouldn’t you know it – the funeral home chose a different version of the song, and it did NOT have the last verse!
I was very disappointed, but that just makes me want to share the song and the meaning in this post a little more. I want everyone to hear the encouragement in this song.

A New Recipe to Share – Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie
I have had this recipe saved in my Safari for several months. I finally made it for Jay’s birthday, and it is delicious!
This is a cream cheese based peanut butter and chocolate pie that is delicious! Get the recipe here! This is on the website Rose Bakes. She always shares great recipes.
On a side note, I bought a graham cracker crust instead of making one. I am sure a homemade crust is better, but I didn’t have a lot of time. It still worked well.
Zesty Pasta Salad
This pasta salad is so refreshing! It is perfect for summer!

The Top Amazon Links
I feel like I share these links all of the time. However, when people have asked me for them, I have had a hard time finding them in a post or newsletter.
- She Reads Bible (This is the one I get the most questions about.)
- Travel Outfit
- Gravity Induced Cup Warmer – I have one in the house and one in the she shed. I love them!
You can see my favorite items that are on sale, with a few others at my Amazon storefront. See the link below to check them out.
This is interesting – my Amazon storefront shows in real time the trending picks from all of you! The outfit is one of them, but I am surprised by the last one.

Thank you for the video that included the 3rd verse, Susan, and for the pie recipe. There are a lot of people in my family who don’t like cake (I have no idea how that is even possible 😂), so I always appreciate easy alternatives for sweet treats. Continuing to pray for you and your family, CoCo
