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!

This is my favorite way to make a regular drink feel fancy! Sprinkle a little edible glitter in a silicone mold and fill with water and freeze. When it melts, your drink will be cute and sparkly.

My drink today is two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach syrup, lemon juice and club soda! Stir and watch it sparkle.

First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

5 Rom Coms You Need To Be Watching On Netflix

To be honest, today’s post is a little light but super fun. I’m a crazy person. I’m trying to get ready to leave town for Charleston Fashion Week (which includes a lot of outfit planning), I have a big fun project right when I get back from CFW (which requires organizational planning), not to mention I have to go to actual work. Needless to say, today we’re talking about Netflix.

I consider myself a Netflix connoisseur. I am well-versed in the current Netflix selection. Quite honestly, there are so many excellent shows and movies to choose from right now. So for today, I’m focusing on lesser-known Rom Coms. Obviously, I love me some How to Lose a Guy in 10 days, but I wanted to focus on some maybe you haven’t seen.

Here are my favesss.

Source

1. When We First Met – This is my current favorite. It is a Netflix special has Adam DeVine (who is Bumper from Pitch Perfect.) He meets his dream girl at a Halloween party and serves as her best friend, however he’s really in love with her. The night of her engagement party to another man, he discovers a way to travel back in time and attempts to win her over. It’s hilarious and I just love, love, love this movie. I watch it ALL the time.

2. Drinking Buddies – This one has kind of an indie-vibe too, but it has some big ringers like Anna Kendrick. Olivia Wilde, and Jake Johnson. Basically two co-workers are both dating other people, but they’re kind of best friends who are also attracted to each other. They just kind of ignore it though. Anyways it’s cute, I like it.

3. Sleeping With Other People – This was a recommendation from my brother. I doooo typically ignore recommendations from him because his taste is interesting, but I really loved this movie. It stars Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie. Basically, they have a one night stand, and then 12 years later run into each other and decide to be friends. I love this one too. It’s very very funny!

4. I Give It A Year – This one stars Rose Byrne. A man and a woman get married way to fast and the perfect marriage they envisioned unravels very quickly. It sounds bad, but it’s very good.

5. Playing It Cool – This one stars Chris Evans and Michelle Monaghan. He’s working on a script for a romantic movie, but is bad at love. Then he meets her and falls in love, butttt she’s engaged to someone else. It’s very cute too.

Alright, those are my picks for this light blog post on a Monday.

What are you loving on Netflix right now??

    I love Playing It Cool (but I’m totally endeared by Chris Evans so that’s not a surprise) I have When We First Met on my to watch list so I’m glad to hear people are enjoying it.

    I’m not sure all of these are available in Europe. When we First Met is available for sure. I haven’t watched any comedy lately – only super hero stuff – so thanks for he reminder!

    LOVED When We First Met! It was so darn cute, and definitely is a reminder that things happen for a reason. I need to look into Playing it Cool because that also sounds like a cute movie, too! Loved your picks here and thanks for sharing!

  11. Rachel @ STCL says

    March 12, 2018 at 8:03 pm

    I really loved When We First Met! So much more than a standard romcom – it definitely put life into a new perspective!

  12. La Shell Reid says

    March 12, 2018 at 8:07 pm

    I’ve never seen (or heard about) any of these. I’m always on the hunt for something on netflix to watch, so will give these a shot!

  13. Jasmine Maria says

    I saw parts of “When We First Met” but didn’t get to finish it. Need to do so.

    Totally gonna check some of these out because I have never heard of them before! Have fun at CFW!

  16. Crystal @ Dreams, etc. says

    March 13, 2018 at 1:21 am

    The only one of these I’ve watched is Drinking Buddies. The rest of these sound great, especially that first one! I need to check them out.

  17. Indya S says

    March 13, 2018 at 2:38 am

    I clicked on this post assuming I would have seen most of the shows listed, but it turns out I haven’t seen any! To be honest I’m still making my way through older shows that I should have watched years ago (Gossip Girl and The Office are the two I’m currently into!), but once I’ve got them out the way, I’ll definitely start on these!

  18. Erica @ Coming up Roses says

    March 13, 2018 at 6:59 am

    HOW have I seen literally NONE of these?!?! OMG. Clearly I need some solid Netflix time!

  19. Taylor Smith says

    March 13, 2018 at 9:18 am

    Ok I have seen none of these which is crazy so planning a Netflix weekend.

  20. Kelsie Kristine says

    March 13, 2018 at 11:17 am

    I just watched When We First Met and laughed my butt off!! I loved it! I’ll have to check these other ones out!
