We started at @childrensmuseumatlanta and then headed over to @skyviewatl! Then we had dinner at @johnnyrockets and spent the night. Then, we woke up early and headed over to the @georgiaaquarium for the day.

It was SO much fun. I highly recommend doing a staycation in your own city. I've lived here 30 years and always find something fun to do. 

Happy birthday to my big 2-year-old! 💙

This is the easiest idea for a fun summer party! 🦀 I took these crabby chicken croissants to our margaritaville themed party last week. I also made them for a mermaid-themed party a few years ago!

To make these:
-slice mini croissants down the middle but leave the back connected.
-fill with chicken salad.
-attach a toothpick to the back of edible eyeballs with cookie icing and allow it to dry.
-insert the toothpicks into the croissants to create eyes!

Save this for later when you need a dish or appetizer to bring to summer parties!

It's also the perfect dish to make if your kitchen is under construction like mine was for this video. It's a cold dish so nothing to heat up. 

First, mix together two cans of drained whole-kernel corn, two cups of mexican blend cheese, one cup of light mayo, diced red pepper, pepper and a bit of cilantro in a bowl. Then, add crushed Chili Cheese Fritos and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

Autumn Sangria and Popcorn Pairing

Dress (In Grey) | Wine Decanter

It’s officially fall! WHOO HOO! Am I right? It’s officially my favorite season. It may be 90 degrees in Atlanta, but I’m ready for sweaters, pumpkin patches, Halloween, scary movies, and all things autumn. I just love it.

The only thing I love a little less than fall is SkinnyPop popcorn. This is not a lie and this post is not sponsored. I love SkinnyPop. When people ask how I lost so much weight before my wedding, I truly and honestly answer “Halo Top and SkinnyPop popcorn.” I could have done the traditional diet and exercise, but why not do some guilt-free snacking and still enjoy something that tastes good instead?

So when SkinnyPop came up with fall drink and popcorn pairing, I lost my mind a little bit. There is really nothing else in the world I need other than alcoholic Fall themed drinks and popcorn. Maybe a felt hat and the perfect pair of booties, but not much else.

Fall has the best flavors for beverages. Pumpkin, maple, caramel, apple, pecan, cinnamon, cranberry. So. Much. Goodness. Skinny pop took all the best flavors to create their popcorn and fall drink

My favorite from their list is the Apple Cider Sangria and Naturally Sweet popcorn. The sangria is full of apples, oranges, lemons, white wine, and ginger beer and really does pair perfectly with the sweet popcorn. Definitely going to be my after-work snack/dinner.

Here is the real question though…is it still SkinnyPop if you eat the entire bag?

Check out all the other pairings that Skinny Pop came up with here! Which one are you most excited to try?

  19. Kari Carter says

    September 27, 2017 at 10:59 pm

    Looks great! We opened a new wine yesterday and it had a sweet grapefruit taste. We were a bit thrown off by it but I bet it would be great with a salty popcorn!
