In full transparency, I wanted to make quesadilla uncrustables, but bought the wrong kind of tortilla. If you want to make those definitely get flour tortillas not corn. 

These are easy to make though, just use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut your tortillas, then fill and grill on the stove!

After organizing all weekend, I didn't want to purchase ANYTHING else to organize. I wanted something cheap that I already had lying around.

I like the pool noodle hack but did not have time to go acquire a pool noodle in January.

Try the magazine hack and let me know how you like it? What's your favorite organizational hack?

2017 Blooper Reel

Blogging is not always pretty..it just isn’t lol. Only about 3% of my photos actually make it on the blog. The others…live in the blooper folder for this very post. I would say about 70% of my photos are with my flipping my hair, 20% are of my eyes closed, and the other 7% that don’t make it to the blog are of me yelling at Stephen to stop snapping while I adjust.

I love these posts so I am thrilled to make fun of myself with some horribly unflattering photos.

So without further ado, here is the blooper reel for 2017 with some commentary! Hope you enjoy some of my best fails throughout the year.

I really don’t even know how to caption this one, but it’s a great way to kick this post off.

Adjusting my outfit or thinking about going to the bathroom?

Hey boy, yo mama let you date?

Deer in the headlights? Contemplating my life decisions? You decide?

This post was only for my jacket so I didn’t wear pants. Also we were moving so there are approximately 4,285 boxes in the background.

One of many of me talking to Stephen mid shoot.

Drinking water is hard…

Way more interested in Molly than this shoot.

“Hold on, I gotta pull my pants up.”

Hangry.

I have trouble drinking things. A common theme in these photos…

Hair flipz for dayz

I actually have no words.

You know the Leo DiCaprio meme of him walking down the street. We are actually twins.

More yelling at Stephen.

When you’re kind of over taking photos…

I freaking love this sangriaaaaa

Failure to take sips on camera #3 and #4

What do I do with my hands?

Still can’t drink on camera.

Derp.

But can I have these Pop Rocks?

America’s Next Top Model

Seriously incapable of taking a normal sip of anything.

I don’t know how to make a duck face.

Time to exercise the demons.

This is a sequence of failed photos… first, I wanted to make my cape flow in the non-existent wind.

TA-DA!

I’m actually a pro.

The Bailey’s are excellent at Christmas card photos.

I’m freezing… do it for the gram?

“Hel…the wreath is not attacking you.” –My husband

That moment when a little chunk of snow falls off a tree and straight down your shirt.

I took this shirt a little too seriously.

Just two bestie gals cracking up over while wearing coordinating Falcon’s attire.

This is my armpit.

Back in the tri-pod days. I was super at getting the right angle.

If this is how I look when I flirt, thank God I got married.

See above.

I’m very angry at these graham crackers.

I call this the Blue Steel.

I don’t know how to walk and talk at the same time.

When you try to twirl but your heels are 3 inches deep in dirt.

Hair Flip 3.0

Nancy Drew and the Case of the Missing Hand Mixer

It’s a hard knock life showcasing this giant snakeskin envelope clutch.

Werk it.

Is my top on backwards?

Happy New Year sweet friends! I’ll see you in 2018!

Today we're making jalapeno cheese dip in a bread Today we're making jalapeno cheese dip in a bread bowl. This is a great party snack and would be awesome at an upcoming super bowl party. 

-First, cut the top off a round loaf of bread and remove the middle. 
-Cut all of the pieces removed into cubes and set aside. 
-Then take a jalapeno queso block and cut it into cubes. Place in a pan. 
-Then add two cans of drained green chiles and a splash of milk. 
-Heat over medium high heat on the stove stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Trust me nobody wants that cleanup. 
-Then immediately pour into your bread bowl and serve hot with the cubed bread pieces. Enjoy!

Easy, and tasty! Are you having or going to a Super Bowl party this year? What's on the menu?
